For you, a thousand times over… I was always the one to bottle up my feelings. In fact I became so good at hiding all emotions that belonged to me, that I had myself convinced of what I thought to be true, rather than what I felt to be true. I know I’m not the […]

What’s The Reason?
They say whatever happens, is always for a reason, and usually for the best. As a child I used to think, who is the they, how do they know? Nonetheless this stuck with me. I would tell myself this repeatedly over the course of my life, sometimes not knowing what that really meant, most times not […]
Who Do You Want To Be?
A top pick from one of the most frequently asked questions, I’m going to say from age 3, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” What’s wrong with who I am? Simple, yet unsaid. A lot of questions raced through my mind while listening to Shane Koyczan’s TED talk – a plea for more […]
Just An Ordinary Instant
It’s the little things you know, the ones you tend to take for granted, the ones that are so innately a part of your routine, of you, you tend to forget just those, just why they are, so routine, such an integral part of routine. A conversation about grad school took me back to last […]
A Missed Flight
So I missed my flight. A first. Running across the line for security, down the escalator towards that god forsaken gate B35 (of course it had to be right under, way down to the left), I felt the ache in my feet, the shortness in my breath – “Give up”, “Yeah you’d like that, right?” I dragged myself […]

They say as soon as you start owning your own, initiate that first intent toward your goal, the universe actualizes every effort to align with you. […]
One Step Forward
312 days. Along this journey, which by no means is complete (or even close to), I’ve stumbled a million times, fallen a few hundred of those, and even failed in some versions. But somehow, I found it in myself, and through stories of others, to keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other. […]
My Offline Blog
Here’s to rescuing every thought in my mind, and releasing it into reality! Greenlight Bookstore – I didn’t even know what I was looking for, browsing through all those notebooks. It’s a weakness, I tell myself. In reality, I think it’s an addiction – my addiction for words, for stories. Although a lot of my stories […]
Search For Creativity?
“SEM is the current state of marketing – with the highest ROI.” Bet you weren’t expecting a start like that? But seriously, how many times have we heard this statement, just this year! As someone whose heart beats for stories, I had never thought that when the time came for my first big job in […]
