Hi There! Welcome to my first blog!

Ever since YouTube and video-based content became massively mainstream, people got addicted to it. Watching videos saves time, and you can get so much information in such a short span. People call it “efficiency.”

I also used to make videos and post them on my YouTube channel- kudos to my 60 subscribers. But somehow, the more video content overflowed everywhere, the more people started to appreciate reading and slower forms of consuming information again. So, I’ve decided to follow that shift and come back to my own thing: writing.

Books, words, and Me

I grew up in a house where I was kind of forced to read and judged for not reading enough — thanks to my mom, the influencer of the house. Our living room was always filled with books, even the drawers were packed with them. Decluttering those books became a weekly family challenge. And still, our Sunday ritual was going to the library, borrowing 20 books, and returning them the next week.

Maybe because I wasn’t going voluntarily but just tagging along with my mom, I never really picked up the habit - sadly. And for a long time, I felt insecure for not reading enough. But instead, I wrote.

My diary became my little outlet for venting emotions and writing fiction, mostly about my teenage crushes, lol. At one point, I was obsessed with the Japanese manga Detective Conan. I couldn’t wait for the next issue to come out, so I created an entirely new story on my own. That’s how I spent most of my time back then. Sometimes, a friend or family member would find my notebook beside my bed and be shocked. I’d feel embarrassed for having those feelings. But after a lot of self-work and therapy, I can finally forgive myself for feeling that way. And now I know. It was completely natural.

After almost 15 years of writing just for myself, and thanks to the digital world, I finally found the courage to share my thoughts and say to people

“Hey. It’s okay to have those feelings. Some emotions may look ugly, but they’re not bad.”

This is where it starts. Letting you in on what I think. Maybe it’ll stay surface-level sometimes, or go really deep. My odd way of thinking or telling stories might disappoint you. Or make you laugh. Either way. I like writing.

And I hope you’ll enjoy it too.
