Lately, the term “doom spending” has been making the rounds, and I have to admit, I’ve been feeling a little called out. People are out there splurging on random things, all while worrying about the state of the world. Me? I haven’t been doing the doom scroll on […]
They say laughter is the best medicine, but I’m not sure they meant it as a remedy for the kind of exhaustion that makes you fall asleep on the couch at 6 p.m., stumble to bed at 2 a.m., and then rise at 5 a.m. as if you […]
There’s a certain charm in living through weird times, isn’t there? I mean, when the headlines scream doom and gloom at every turn, and you’re stuck trying to remember if you locked the door before the apocalypse hit, who wouldn’t want a little distraction? Luckily, in the same […]
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. Holidays. They’ve pretty much all been taken, right? National Dog Day, Mojito Day… you name it, there’s an “observance” for it. Even Chrismukkah is already a thing (and yes, I proudly celebrate it). But the other day, I […]
Friday night. Some people crave the scene, the neon lights, the excitement of city streets. Me? I’m perfectly content with a random playlist, a comfy couch, and zero grand plans. Because here’s the thing: there’s a thrill in the ordinary if you know where to look. Sure, I […]
Ah, Halloween—a holiday where quirkiness is currency, and you’re encouraged to be both bold and bizarre. So, naturally, I suited up for work today as a “good witch,” complete with a purple costume and a grin as wide as a jack-o’-lantern’s. If you haven’t done a Zoom call […]
What does it mean to be a kid at heart? Some days, it’s all about jumping into puddles, grinning like I’ve just solved a riddle meant only for me. If you catch me at the right moment, I might even have a lollipop in hand, savoring every sugary […]
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? If I ever stumbled across a genie’s lamp (because apparently, I live in a Disney movie now), I’ve already got my three wishes lined up. No, I’m not going for world peace—that’s too big for a girl […]
What are you most proud of in your life? In a job interview a long time ago, I was asked a question that tends to invite the cheesier side of life: “What are you most proud of?” The first thing that came to mind, without hesitation, was being […]
It’s been a few days since I last sat down to write. My grand intention was to craft something thoughtful and profound, but instead, I’ve been falling asleep way too early, face down on my couch, remote in hand. Honestly, I can’t tell if it’s from exhaustion or […]
