Confessions of a Retired Night Owl
If you asked me, ‘how is your time management?’ five or six years ago, that girl back then would have briskly crab-walked out of that conversation, never to be seen again.

I’m Fine Now (But Tuesday Was a Different Story)
Anxiety and depression check: 7/10. They are ‘contained‘ for now, but there’s still a residue of frantic energy bubbling underneath, just waiting for a reason to go berserk.

The Joys and Challenges of Being a Serial Hobbyist
I used to think that there was something wrong with me; I had far too many interests and hobbies. University life was a whirlwind of activities and “doing nothing” was never on the menu.

Double the Trouble, Double the Love: Ben & Jimin🐈
It’s been just over three whole months since we adopted two kittens — 🐈Ben and Jimin🐈 — an energetic brother duo into our family of three. It feels bizarre to acknowledge the fact that they haven’t been that long in my life. They feel like they’ve always been around, like a permanent fixture, always adding… Read more
