It's taking me a lot of effort and mental energy to write this article. I don't want to because I don't feel like thinking about 2021 or 2022 - but that's exactly why I have to write this. And I cannot emphasize this enough - the clock striking midnight wasn't full of celebration like usual.… Continue reading At The Strike Of Midnight
Normal People
Sally Rooney is a big name in literary circles right now. Her latest novel, Oh Beautiful World, Where Are You, hit the shelves this year (it's on my to-read list!) making her one of the biggest names in Contemporary literature. Normal People was the book that defined her and there's a big reason why. I… Continue reading Normal People
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Probably one of the most awaited movies of the year, Spider-Man: No Way Home sold out in minutes. I was lucky enough that my friend's more obsessed with Marvel than me and got us tickets. This may be, by far, one of marvel's greatest movies. So here's a breakdown of how awesome No Way Home… Continue reading Spider-Man: No Way Home
Jesus’ Son
I remember the first time I heard the name "Denis Johnson". It was back in Michigan, in one of my English classes, and for some reason the weight of that name triggered me to look it up.

At the age of 21, Sunday has now become another work day, mainly related to my writing. So here… Continue reading What’s Next?

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
Liberalism and Instagram
I will outwardly and confidently call myself a liberal. That is my political agenda. And I'm proud of it. 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
