My Innie vs My Outie: The War
I watched the mind-bending Severance series a few months ago. It wasn’t bad at all. I can’t remember who recommended it; most likely my sister. Movies are one of the things my siblings and I bond over. We recommend them to each other like a relay of survival: If you suffered through it, I don’t have to. You suffer for all! The Innie & The Outie In Severance, there’s this concept of an "innie" and …

Why Culture May Be Your Biggest Weapon Yet
When I was in primary school (Year 3, if I remember correctly), we learned about culture. We had to chant the definition until it practically lived in our heads. The teacher would yell, “What is culture?” and we would chorus, “Culture is the way of life of a people.” The first thing that struck me was that odd phrase: a people. My tiny brain could not compute. “A” is singular, “people” is plural. …

The counterfeit currency of being liked
Finally, we’re here and I’m fulfilling a 2 week-old promise 💃🏽 I said I’d write about this, and yes, you’re welcome… hehe. A question for you! Have you ever heard about the Abilene Paradox? Let me rephrase: Have you ever had that “WTF look” because a friend expressed their disdain for something to you in private and then in public, went all “Yaaas, Queen!” to it? 😂 You’re there like, “Huh?

Hey, before you crucify me, let me crucify myself ☠ Yes, I know: in my last piece, I said this week, we’d talk about the counterfeit currency of being liked. And yet here you are, staring at a post about pain 😬 How dare I? I promise I’m not a fraud 😂 Over the last few days, I’ve been hit with a flurry of emotions — mountain-high highs and gut‑punch lows, that pushed me to see pain in a completel…

Maybe you're just a necessary evil 🤷🏽♀️
The conversation that made me smile all day On Monday this week, as soon as I woke up, I remembered that my extended family had agreed over the weekend to contribute some money towards a specific project. I immediately sent my share to my brother, who is basically the family’s unofficial tax collector. A few seconds later, I received a WhatsApp message from him 👇🏾 He could have chosen to send a…

Who puts rice in a pineapple?
⎯ ❤️1I did say to myself in the 1st week of September, after the launch of Metrifox that I’ll make a Youtube video every week to document my journey as CTO and Co-founder. Oh, how easy that was! Guess how many videos I’ve made so far? Two!!! 🙈. I made the first one that week talking about the 8hr call before the Metrifox launch, and the second one a month later, talking about my Budapest/Bucharest a…

The Trap of Safety
⎯ ❤️1I ask more questions than I draw conclusions, so prepare yourself, this post might just end up being a web of unending questions. Nevertheless, I honestly think questions make us think critically, observe the norms, assess our priorities, fears and insecurities, as well as reflect on life in general. Talking about reflections, let’s take a ride! Many a time, we’re comfortable, everything is workin…
