Living with a Hole in Your Heart

August 28, 2019

For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with the loss of someone significant in my life. It wasn’t the end of a life, but instead, the end of a friendship.

I didn’t choose to be a victim of child sexual abuse. But I choose everyday how I live the rest of my life.

May 16, 2019

I’ve been thinking about choices a lot lately. Who I choose to be around, how I choose to live my life, my career choices. And I’ve thought about how, it’s so easy to feel regret towards the choices we’ve made. It’s also easy to feel regret towards the choices others have made and how they… Read More I didn’t choose to be a victim of child sexual abuse. But I choose everyday how I live the rest of my life.

A Lesson about Love

April 9, 2019

Several years ago, I came across a video that had gone viral. It was about Chinese culture and how the use of the phrase “I love you” was rarely used.

Leaving Footprints Wherever You Go

March 14, 2019

Empathy is the best legacy

February 28, 2019

This was a piece of writing I wrote in September 2017, as an entry for a writing competition. I’d like to share it here on my blog.People question why I care so much. I question why they don’t. When I was 15 years old, a close friend of mine told me, “You’re too nice.” I… Read More Empathy is the best legacy

Being Loved for Who You Are

November 22, 2017

Last month, I had an experience filled with highs and lows. But in my mind, I really struggled to remember the highs. It’s interesting how, we, as human beings, can often struggle to see the good. Even when there is so much of it. In my last entry, I basically alluded to writing more often… Read More Being Loved for Who You Are

Something pretty amazing happening today. Nothing particularly eventful but pretty amazing for me. Today, I laughed the hardest that I have laughed in the past few weeks. My facial cheeks hurt. My stomach felt pained. I was laughing uncontrollably. So why did my fits of laughter mean so much to me? Because just under a fortnight ago,… Read More Life, Love and Laughter
