After writing this new year post in which I summoned all those things I want from and wish for in 2016, I went back and did a lot of journal writing. It wasn't as if I was doing the soppy "he said, she said" in my checked notebook, but it was everything that I didn't... Continue Reading →

In one of my statements of purpose, I wrote about the importance of saying unalike things. It's something that has been on my mind because I'm witnessing an inertia in our social circles.

I'm sick of being sick. I think subconsciously, my time to quit the corporate life has arrived.
