In this season of drastic changes, how are you holding up?
Finding Normalcy
You are not stuck!
A lot of things have been put on hold because of this pandemic we are in right now. I, personally, have so many plans laid out for the year that when the mandatory quarantine period was ordered nationally, all these plans were not possible anymore. It was kind of devastating. This quarantine season has caused... Continue Reading →
A Letter to My Younger Self: My Twenties would like to say…
Chill. Let loose. And do not be hard on yourself. You will make it through. You are always anxious of the future. Always so focused and serious. I see where the seriousness comes from. You had to do it because nothing should be wasted. And I understand you. I have always understood you. After all,... Continue Reading →
Losing people
They say that as you grow older, your circle gets lesser. If this would be me five or ten years ago, this would be just in passing. It was then a life of meeting people, enhancing friendships both old and new, and basking in the fun of it all. But this is me. Today. In... Continue Reading →
Takeaways from IAUK 2019

The Thing About Not Having it all Figured Out
Here’s one truth: We don’t actually have a blueprint of what’s in it for us in 15 to 30 years!
