  • Old Friendships, Revisited

    When you have been friends with someone from when you were 12 years old, your conversations start out about pencils, to your first periods and how it feels, then how long apart your periods are (in the first 2 years) to bewilderment over having to take biology or physics as a standalone subject instead of Read more

  • Summer Picnics – A State of Mind

    As someone who has always internalized external weather elements and had their plans impacted by the seasons I’ve struggled with doing anything when it’s not summer. Summer is for picnics, outdoor movie nights, more walks and just more outdoors. There are two things that have severely constrained these plans, the first is having kids (a Read more

In my (probably incorrect) opinion, most non-fiction books can probably be summarised into a 2 page infodoc to get the gist.

    Was 2020 the most stressful and worst year of your life? For me, 2020 was a welcome change of pace – the first time in 14 years that I was spending time at on weekdays at home. Prior to that, I was away in the UK for university and then I was in the office Read more

  • Mommy Burn-Out

    Mommy Burn-Out

    I’ve always despised the “busy” era we live in where booking a coffee with someone requires weeks of notice and nothing is really spontaneous anymore. Worse still, is the glorification of being busy that our culture applauds. Being busy somehow means purposeful whereas I think it lacks intention and meaning. Since becoming a mother and Read more

    Reading List for 2021

    If you’re like me and love the tactile sensation of buying books and reading them physically, where do you buy your books from? A local bookstore in person or online? I currently buy them from the Book Depository with the pandemic reducing my in person shopping trips. Unfortunately, as a mother I am also severely Read more
