I write about life and love as a woman who loves philosophy, humanism and long conversations. I’m certain I couldn’t do life without talking my heart out. I want this blog to feel like you’re talking to me when you want to or when you too feel like you need to talk to someone. The Weeknd said his songs are supposed to meet you in a dark place and be with you as you walk out, I want my blog to do the same. But with extra sunlight and loving energy.

  • See.

    Imagine you could go back in time and give yourself the ability to see yourself then as you see her from ‘now’. This is kind of what I’ve been mentally doing today. I found some photos of me from years ago. I remember how I felt in each of them. How I perceived myself. I… Read more

  • Ego is the Enemy: the Return of Hard Work

    I started reading Ego is the Enemy yesterday. It’s a book that takes you back to good old hard work. If you want something, you have to work for it. As someone who grew up playing sports competitively and lived by Mamba mentality, this is no news. But in the past years, I too have… Read more

  • ‘That Girl’ is Stoicism, but pretty

    As I’m learning about stoicism, I’m having sort of a revelation about the ‘that girl’ trend. I found out about it over Instagram and then YouTube, but I understand it began on TikTok. I immediately liked the aesthetic and it just felt so familiar. Early mornings, home workouts, the gym, walks, healthy eating, being productive,… Read more
