🌿 About Me – My Journey of Purpose, Love & Strength
Hi, I’m Nongmaithem Rita— a nature lover, an animal soul, and someone who believes in living a life full of purpose, love… and a little bit of beautiful chaos.
Since childhood, I have always felt deeply connected to nature and innocent living beings. There was something about their simplicity, their honesty, and their quiet presence that always felt like home to me.
This space is not just a website— it’s my life, my journey through pet care, home gardening, daily living, and freelancing… shared with real experiences and a heart that has felt both pain and healing.
✨ From Dreams of the Sky to Finding Myself on the Ground
I come from Manipur, and Chandigarh has been my home since 2004.
Like many young dreamers, I once had a clear vision—to build a career in aviation and create a life I had imagined for myself.
I started my professional journey with AffiliRed (a well known worldwide travel performance agency in Spain, Barcelona) as an Affiliate Manager and worked there for four years. It was a beautiful phase of learning and growth.
In 2014, at the age of 31, I left my job for my arranged marriage. I believed I was stepping into a new, beautiful chapter of life—one filled with love, belonging, and a place I could call my own.
But it was totally different from what I thought. This is life—we go through bad times and good times.
Within just 7 months, everything changed. The marriage ended, and I found myself standing alone… with nothing but silence, questions, and an uncertain future. There was none who could understand my feeling.
💔 The Phase That Changed Me
I returned to Chandigarh with zero balance—emotionally and financially.
Those days were not easy. They were heavy. I still remember the exhaustion…
working day and night, barely sleeping, trying to rebuild everything from scratch.
There were moments of loneliness, moments of doubt, and moments when I didn’t know what would come next.
But somewhere deep inside, there was still a small voice telling me to keep going. I trusted in God.
So I did.
I found the job at Okaya Infocom Pvt. Ltd. in IT Park, Chandigarh where my life slowly began to shift again and where I discovered freelancing through Upwork. At first, it was unfamiliar and uncertain—but I was willing to learn.
Step by step, I taught myself everything. No shortcuts. No guidance. Just patience and determination.
I’m deeply grateful to AffiliRed and Okaya Infocom—those experiences gave me the skills and confidence to stand on my own.
And slowly… I did.
🐾 The Love That Healed Me
As I started working from home, something beautiful entered my life. I began feeding, rescuing, and adopting stray animals. At a time when I felt alone… they were there for me.
They became my family,
my strength,
my reason to keep going.
I stopped thinking about starting life again with someone else.
Instead, I chose a different path—a life where I could give love, care, and a safe home to those who needed it the most.
Today, I live with seven dogs, along with fish and budgies.
Life is not easy. It’s noisy, messy, and sometimes overwhelming.
But it is also filled with a kind of love that healed me in ways nothing else could.
Every day, I wake up with one simple purpose—to make their lives better, to keep them happy, and to give them the love they deserve.
And even on the hardest days…
I wouldn’t choose anything else.
Now, I work from home—building a life that allows me to be present for what matters most.
My sister works with me too, which makes this journey even more meaningful.
🌼 Finding Peace in Simple Living
Life slowly taught me that happiness doesn’t come from big achievements.
It lives in small, quiet moments.
Gardening 🌱 became my peace.
Cooking 🍲 became my comfort.
Skincare and daily routines became my self-care.
Cleaning and organizing became my way of creating calm.
I like keeping everything around me clean, simple, and full of life—whether it’s my plants, my home, or the space I live in.
Because I truly believe:
If you are happy, you are healthy. If you are healthy, you are wealthy.
💛 A Life That Isn’t Perfect—But Feels Right
My life is simple. It’s not perfect, but it is full.
Full of love, full of responsibility, full of purpose.
And after everything I’ve been through…
this is the life that I truly love.
Let’s build a life that feels meaningful—not perfect.
