This isn’t the first time I’ve found myself trapped in a cycle of comparison and perfectionism. What is beauty in our eyes? What does it mean to be successful? Here is what I have learned — life is absolutely meaningless. There is no greater purpose. Simply put, the meaning of life is to experience it. […]

It’s hard to go through pain and trust that it’s meant for you. It’s even harder to let go of something that felt so real – something that felt like home. But what’s the hardest of all is holding back from punching people who tell you to stop crying, stop listening to Favourite Ex on […]

This is becoming one of my favourite yearly traditions – aside from the self development reflections, of course. I’m learning what the perfect balance is between fiction and nonfiction. My favourite books of 2024 were a happy mix, and I strengthened my love and appreciation for memoirs. In 2023, I read a total of 10 […]

Dear long distance best friends, I miss you. 2024 was a chaotic year for me, to put it lightly. Please do read all about it. The hardest transition when moving home was leaving all of the beautiful people I’d met behind. What sucked even more, when I got back to Perth, was my best friend […]

I’ve come to the realisation that I may subconsciously attract chaos into my life. We all feel the magnetic attraction to the New Year – the opportunity for change, new beginnings, a fresh start. A chance for us to wipe clean all of our mistakes and poor choices of the previous year. Because it’s January, […]

There aren’t many feelings that suck as much as not having control over your life. I know I don’t speak alone when I say that I not only struggle to know what I want, but I also fail to follow through when I finally find something that I do. Doubt creeps into my mind and […]

I tend to be a bitter person when I’m single. All that spoon-feeding that couples do; hands interlocked under the dinner table. It makes me ill. I like to think it’s because I genuinely enjoy being single, and I wished that others would feel the same. I had finally reached a point in my life […]

How do you change careers when you’ve never really had one? In usual fashion, my biannual crisis found its way to me. Except this time, amidst all the chaos, I finally found something. After months of ‘life plan’ rough drafts, and an unfortunate learning experience, I stumbled across a University course that seemed perfect for […]

I’ve been so focused on taking care of my physical health and nutrition lately that I’ve forgotten about my mental and emotional health. I’ve gone through big change after big change the last few months and haven’t given myself the grace I needed. When I came home to Perth, nothing turned out like the way […]

When I got really into podcasts in 2022, I listened to an Oprah’s Super Soul episode that featured author Elizabeth Gilbert. I’d heard of her before – I love Eat Pray Love and Big Magic. Watching my life unfold ever since I left University has been both beautiful and jarring. I’ve always felt unsettled – […]
