  • The Quiet Life Inside a City of Fog

    The Quiet Life Inside a City of Fog

    “What seems to be left is a soft, lingering haze. Like living beneath a city smothered in smog.” Sometimes, a quiet disinterest washes over me. The world becomes dull, almost a muted gray. Everything feels stale, almost irrelevant. I’ll suddenly feel a warm ember of excitement, inviting for a breath and then it turns cold…

  • Understanding Expectations: A Double-Edged Sword

    Understanding Expectations: A Double-Edged Sword

    “A belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.”  This is the literal definition of expectation according to google. It’s pretty simple and clean. But real life is anything but simple, so why are expectations? They are sneaky little buggers, living quietly in the background, shaping the way we think, plan…

    The Silent Struggle of Feeling Out of Place

    “Belonging isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s a seat you don’t get to take.” -Quill Has anyone ever felt like the odd one out? Maybe you’re surrounded by friends or family and in the middle of everything you thought, I don’t fit in. I’ll say this honestly — I feel that way a lot. If…

  •  When It Feels Like Nothing Matters: A Journey Through The Darkness

     When It Feels Like Nothing Matters: A Journey Through The Darkness

    There are times when life feels unbearably heavy, when meaning slips through our fingers and even the smallest tasks feel impossible. This is my journey through the shadows — facing despair, learning to sit with the darkness, and discovering that even in the heaviest moments, there are sparks of light worth holding on to.

    Taming Your Ever-Growing To-Do List

    Ever feel like your to-do list has a mind of its own? Mine started simple: dishes, laundry, a spreadsheet. Now? Alphabetizing spices, reorganizing drawers… it’s basically a monster. In this post, I break down why our brains make lists never-ending, the sneaky ways we overwhelm ourselves, and a few playful fixes to tame the chaos—without…

    Exploring Global Family Dynamics

    “Family isn’t one-size-fits-all. From the harmony and respect for elders in East Asia, to the shared responsibilities and communal rituals of South Asia, and the deep-rooted traditions and hospitality of the Middle East—our bonds take many forms. Today, we explore how family shapes culture and connection around the world.”

    Master the Illusion of Office Productivity

    Some days aren’t about productivity—they’re about survival mode. From the Spreadsheet Stretch to the Inbox Pounce, I’m spilling my top cat-inspired tricks for looking busy at work (without actually doing much at all). Because let’s be honest… sometimes “strategic loaf-mode” is the real key to survival.

    The Hidden Chaos of Office Life

    “Because the dream job doesn’t come without scratches.” Topic: Frustrated With Work I used to believe that reaching a certain age would mean that work worries would disappear and I’d have the dream job: productive days, smooth communication, and a clean desk, heading home at 5 PM. Instead, I found myself surrounded by chaos, fueled…
