Blind Following: Why You Follow Leaders Without Question
Our world has often divided itself into two major archetypes: leaders and followers.

The Journey To Becoming: My 2024 Living Eulogy
They have always tried to reveal themselves to me in fragments, but my own expectations have often warped my interpretation of their intentions.

The Art of Sharing Sensitive Stories: Talking About Hard Topics Without Hurting Anyone
You see, every word we speak is laden with meaning. It is the stories of people captured in syllables. It’s events that have happened over and over again.

Maybe You Don’t Know What Commitment Entails: The Sacrifices That Come With a Serious Relationship
All my life I have been single. Friends have often labelled me as shy, afraid of commitment, or just unserious. None of those descriptions has quite felt right.
