Healing isn’t linear and this instrumental music explains that well — At 28 years old, I was heavily depressed for almost a year. It was really bad. So bad that I’d get confused when people say falling asleep during depression is hard. Because for me…

She said what about me? — The decision to go to therapy in 2018 wasn’t the easiest for me. It was my dirty little secret. I had to keep it on the DL because back then, the world — or at least my country — wasn’t very kind to those who seek professional help for their…

How I know I’ve found my person as an introvert — I’m an introvert. I talk after everyone else has finished talking. I listen and I ask thousands of follow-up questions.

From fashion to international relations — “What’s that?” I asked my coworker at the next desk. “Oh, it’s the cake from Mrs. S. Everyone gets a piece! Check yours on your desk.” He replied. I didn’t see anything but my own mess. I didn’t get one. I couldn’t believe it. One of the company owners I…

A tool for those in LDR — I met my boyfriend through a dating app. I liked how his profile is filled to the brim — I mean he’s a writer after all. None of that “I like to travel” “I like sushi” or “I’m a good guy” one-liners. He made an essay on his profile and…
