Sunday. Growing up, Sunday was, for me, dedicated to family-time and shopping out of the City. Sunday was the day I got to spend time with my dad because he worked too much during the week. At the age of 21, Sunday has now become another work day, mainly related to my writing. So here… Continue reading What’s Next?
Relax, Take It Easy
Gosh, it feels so weird to be writing here. I cannot believe it has been three months since I last typed something up here, or even accessed my blog. I really have put this blog to the side and now, after everything that has happened these last three months, I feel like I had to… Continue reading Relax, Take It Easy
The Reading Block
Happy Sunday to my lovely readers! It's Sunday which brings you here, to this space, my blog, to read about whatever thoughts I might be having. Well here we are. Today I feel like diving into the reading block. What is a reading block? Let's start off with my own personal experience. As a kid,… Continue reading The Reading Block
Goodbye Insite
Insite just held its yearly AGM. I am feeling slightly light-headed. How can I explain to you, dear reader, what it means to have to say goodbye to Insite? It is not easy to embrace change when one does not want things to change. Yet, I must move on. Insite was, for me, one of… Continue reading Goodbye Insite
The Noise of Time
Even though I no longer study History, I can definitely say that my favorite period to study was the Cold War. If I had to narrow it down, my favorite historical incident would be the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Most people have never heard of it, but the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis is one of… Continue reading The Noise of Time

There can be so many different meanings to just one word, some of which I have already explored. Let's keep exploring. Space is… Continue reading The Different Approaches to Space
Liberalism and Instagram

Every political ideology has its flaws (I mean just look at capitalism and socialism), but liberalism is a very wide ideology that's hard to pin point. And it has plenty of flaws too. Let's start with… Continue reading Liberalism and Instagram
Disinformation
Things are changing from day to day. If there’s one thing this pandemic has taught us it’s that. A part of me believes that we must try to live our lives as normally as possible. Yet another part of me sees the numbers increasing and I keep getting frustrated that nothing is being done. Cuz… Continue reading Disinformation
American Contemporary Fiction
When choosing my classes for my final year of university, I chose all the subjects that contained the words "American", "Contemporary", and "Modern". What can I say? I love anything American! And I love the Modern Age and the age we find ourselves in: Contemporary Times. For my Contemporary Fiction class, we studied four novels… Continue reading American Contemporary Fiction
Here’s Why I’m Objecting
Monday is just a lousy day of the week. Nevertheless, here we are trying to strive in this messed up world. Sometimes, I don't know what to write here so I skip a week. I'm learning to make writing a daily job but it isn't easy when you're a student and a waitress. Some of… Continue reading Here’s Why I’m Objecting
