    Oh, how has technology changed my job? Well… first of all, I don’t exactly have a job in the traditional sense. I’m a research scholar and an author, which basically means I’m either buried in academic articles, lost in a forest of footnotes, or having deep emotional conversations with my laptop at 2 AM. Technology,…

    Honestly… not often. Or at least, not in the past. I’ve always struggled with saying “no.” You could say I was almost allergic to it. Being an introverted girl who avoids conflict like it’s the plague, I always found it easier to say “yes” and deal with the consequences later, consequences that usually meant sacrificing…

    Oh, hands down, winter is my absolute favorite! I know some people romanticize summer like it’s this magical season of sun-kissed skin and beachy vibes, but honestly? I spend most of summer looking like I just ran a marathon… while standing still. 😅 I sweat a lot. Like, enough to water a small plant with…

    If you ask me what I wish I could do more every day, honestly, my heart screams content creation and painting. These two things light me up from within, they’re where I truly feel like me. Whether it’s pouring my thoughts into a video script, shaping ideas for a blog, or losing myself in brush…

    If I had to pick just one word to describe myself, it would be “observer.” I’ve always been the kind of person who watches and listens more than I speak. Whether it’s people, emotions, patterns in behavior, or even the small unnoticed details of life, I naturally analyze everything. Maybe it comes from my background…

    Alright, let’s settle this once and for all. If I’m going on a cross-country trip, what’s my ride of choice? Should I fly like a bird, ride the rails like a mysterious traveler, embrace the chaos of a bus, cruise in a car, or, if I’ve truly lost my mind, pedal my way across the…

    Coping with negative feelings is something we all have to navigate at different points in our lives. Over time, I’ve learned that instead of resisting these emotions, it’s much more helpful to acknowledge them, sit with them for a while, and then gently guide myself toward a better state of mind. One of my favorite…

    Dear Teenage Me, I know life right now feels like a swirling mix of excitement and uncertainty, and I want you to know that every twist and turn is shaping you into the incredible person you’re meant to become. One of the most important pieces of advice I’d give you is to focus on your…

    If there were a biography about me, I think the title would be “Whispers of the Soul: A Journey Through Words and Wisdom.” Why this title? Because my life has been a quiet yet profound journey of emotions, intellect, and self-discovery, much like a whisper that carries depth without needing to be loud. My world…

    There was a time when I loved drawing and painting more than anything else. It wasn’t just a hobby for me; it was my way of expressing emotions that I couldn’t put into words. With every stroke of color, every pencil sketch, I felt a sense of peace, as if I was creating a world…
