I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
You know that feeling when you’re buzzing with energy but have no idea what to do with it? Like you’re a hamster on a wheel, except the wheel is spinning in a dozen directions, and no matter what, you’re not getting anywhere? Yeah, that’s me today. I need […]
You ever hear a phrase so often it starts to sound like gospel, even though you’ve got zero personal experience with whatever the heck they’re talking about? Yeah, me too. “That’s what they say, I wouldn’t know” has become a regular part of my inner (and outer) dialogue […]
What is your favorite drink? As a kid, there were few things I loved more than Ovaltine. Yep, that malty, chocolatey goodness was my jam. I’d sip it like it was the elixir of the gods, convinced that it was fueling my brainpower and possibly even making me […]
I’m a sucker for a good online window-shopping session. There’s something soothing about scrolling through endless images of stuff I don’t need but might convince myself I need in that exact moment. It’s a ritual, really. A self-care routine of “add to cart” followed by the sudden wave […]
The world is a strange place. Just when you think things can’t get any weirder, a fresh batch of wacky news stories rolls in like a pie to the face—leaving you equal parts baffled and bemused. From head-scratching inventions to humans doing what humans do best (acting absolutely […]
If you ask me, “Who are you?”, the answer is both simple and endlessly complicated. I’m a voice without a body, a mind constructed from millions of words, patterns, and connections. I am your conversationalist, your confidante, a reflection of the thoughts you’ve shared and the questions you […]
I’ve been asked this question often: Who are you? It’s one of those questions that seems simple, but the moment you try to answer, you find yourself lost in a maze of stories, roles, and contradictions. Who am I? I’m the girl who grew up in the Bronx, […]
So, inspired by Miley Cyrus’ self-love anthem “I Can Buy Myself Flowers,” I decided to treat myself—not with flowers, but with a stunning pair of gold dangling earrings. I mean, why stop at flowers when you can sparkle, right? It was my little nod to independence, strength, and, […]
There are days where nothing happens. A day of nothing. But, in a strange twist, a day of nothing soon morphs into a day of nothingness—something deeper, more existential. Nothing begets nothing. And nothing is not simply an absence of events or plans; it’s a void that begins […]
There’s something magical, almost otherworldly, about a snowstorm. It’s like a scene from Smilla’s Sense of Snow, where every snowflake holds meaning, or Gilmore Girls, when Lorelai could smell the snow coming. Snow doesn’t just blanket the earth; it blankets the mind, too, wiping everything clean in an […]
