The Art of Letting Go Through Journaling
There’s something sacred about a blank page. It waits for you without judgment, without interruption, without needing anything in return. It holds your secrets, your pain, your dreams—and perhaps most importantly, it holds space for your healing.

The Beauty of Being Multilingual
When I was younger, I used to feel split between languages. At school, I’d speak one. At home, another. In books, yet another voice.

Belonging Is a Feeling, Not a Place
For much of my life, I believed that belonging was tied to a place. A country. A home. A community. A seat at someone else’s table.

How My Culture Taught Me to Love Deeply

You Don’t Need Permission to Call Yourself an Artist
There’s a moment every creator wrestle with, whether they admit it out loud or not: “Am I really an artist?” We hesitate before calling ourselves that word—as if someone else needs to grant us access.

Dancing with Doubt: The Creative’s Inner Battle
Every artist, writer, musician, or dreamer knows it: That whisper that says, “This isn’t good enough.” “Who do you think you are?”

Creating for Myself Instead of for Likes
I used to create with one eye on the numbers. I’d pour my heart into something—whether it was a poem, a photo, or a vulnerable post—and immediately, I’d start refreshing. Who liked it? Who shared it? Did it resonate?
