How do I feel so mighty small/ When I’m struggling to feel at all? It’s been hard to admit, but for an uncomfortably long amount of time, I have struggled to feel. Anything , really. To open up and let people in. Experiencing all the big emotions of life; the emotions which lend life its meaning. Like passively observing your very own life through a thick sheet of frosted glass. Sounds are…
Thank you, Thu , for tagging me for this challenge. One could say I have a certain knack for questions—and answering them. And what is better than to nerd out about processes and tech stacks? Why did you start blogging in the first place? I never called any of my writing sections a blog , nor did I ever see myself as a person who blogs . But I do write, and it has something soothing to share it…

I find it fascinating how much we split ourselves apart. How we describe what we like with small tags under our profile pictures. All the roles we invented to categorise what we do, to build our identities around work. The labels we put on us for liking who we like.

How do you know If you’ve done everything right? Is it the love you have at hand Or the cash you kiss at night? How do you know If it was worth it in the end?

A movie night, a yellow light You’re slowing down and days are adding up So don’t waste the…
Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other…
The time of the year again for large companies to tint their logo in rainbow colours. A painful reminder that diversity and inclusivity are usually just hollow words instead of an ambition for betterment. Though I am deeply grateful for my supportive peers, it is equally saddening to see how people suffer from the narrow-mindedness of so many others. All the looks, the bullies, and disrespectful…
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work…
