For the past three days, I've explored Paris. What the "City of Light" made me realize is that we don't build like we used to before: there's beauty behind every corner. A certain flair follows you wherever you go. Yet in our
Bombardment from everywhere. I don’t know where up and down is, let alone what to do next. No manual exists for such a novel situation. No checklist. Nada. They just keep detonating. Round after round, with no end in sight. For the first time in my life, I feel
The opposite of happiness is not unhappiness, but boredom. And I’ve had too much of it. About one and a half years ago, I was dying for a creative hobby. Something that would give me a chance for self-expression while also being cognitively challenging. “Why would you start a
Okay, here we go ladies and gents. I struggle to learn when I only consume information. Gunning for understanding, you must create something out of the information. So why not write a short essay to strengthen the understanding of a subject? You also train your writing, communication, and storytelling ability
It took me three times until I realized sprinting full speed hitting my head against a wall was causing the headache I was overweight growing up. Adding extra pounds on the scale doesn't add to your self-esteem, unfortunately. Otherwise I would've been one of the most

I always considered the gods of industry untouchable. Men and women part of a pantheon so far above rivaling their greatness almost seemed impossible. Until I started asking this one word. It's astonishing how a small word can bring some of the greatest entrepreneurs and C-suites to their
Eyes wide open. Too open. Palms sweaty. Too sweaty. I feel like I'm about to throw up and turn into the reason Eminem wrote this one song. I'm about to step on stage for an improv comedy event, in a theater I've never been
Nothing. Absolutely nothing happened for the last four months of my life. But fate has a sense of humor. Just not one that always makes you laugh. Such is the weight you have to carry when you're the butt of the joke. Because in my case, fate likes
About two weeks ago was the first day in my life I didn’t want to get out of bed anymore. That’s especially rare for me: I was blessed with high amounts of energy (or undiagnosed ADHD, as my friends like to point out). Having high energy is a
Do you know the feeling when everything just doesn't work? When there seems like something clogs the gears of life? I had such a week. New beginnings are always a little weird. Saying goodbye to 2025 and embracing 2026 is a change nonetheless. One can't help
