Yesterday my family and I were supposed to go out for dinner. But then my brother screamed as soon as we locked the house, "No! My face mask!" Ah, face masks. Then I realised that this was our new 'normal'.…
I have always been keen about turning older, and have not really mind ageing at all. Honestly, birthdays are not a thing in our family. There are no cakes, no cards, and no spectacles. Albeit growing up without the excitement to look forward to as we turn another year older, I will always be excited when it comes to birthdays.…
On the day that I was born, the first people who ever saw me were the three most important women in my life: my mother, and my two grandmothers. I was surrounded by women for ever since I could remember.…
The thought of being in a new country is very mind blowing to me, and the thought of living with complete strangers sort of excites me. I know, I am weird, whatever.

So, all is well. As for being brave, if wanting change and wanting to see the world and wanting to be a better person is considered 'brave'. Then,…
I read a quote once that said, “Children don’t hear us. They imitate us.” Because, you see, children don’t really listen to what we tell them. Instead, they’d mimic us. They don’t care what you say, what they’ll notice is what you do. That’s the simple truth.…
Honestly, I have not been feeling my best in the past couple of weeks. My anxiety has been slowly coming back, and it has been crippling me and my work. Normally, I would just brush it off and hope for the best, but this past anxiety attack was a tad bit different. It had been the worst, to say the least.…
