So Sure, Yet So Wrong
⎯ 👏🔥❤️3It was the middle of the night. My feet were turning cold and my chest continued to tighten. I couldn't understand why the bare memory of something that happened over six months ago would elicit such a reaction within me. Why did it feel so bad to have been… wrong? I needed to get to the bottom of this. So, as a self-proclaimed scientist, I began to come up with my hypothesis. In class, when you g…

Being A Good Person Is Not Enough
⎯ ❤️2A young lady says "I can never date a short man. I'm just not attracted to them." What about Lionel Messi? you ask. And the awkward face twitching and stammering begins. "Uhm, ermm, you know, actually…." And honestly, this never surprises me. That's because I believe at our core as humans, we love impressive people. Here's where it gets uncomfortable though.

If you're a high performer at work, there's every likelihood you're working long hours, pouring your life into it, and doing your absolute best to make sure things run smoothly. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you have the right expectat…

Spain Made Me a Spoiled Kid
Yesterday, I had just finished grocery shopping and was walking home briskly when I noticed a young lady standing by the road, moving her arm up and down. That’s odd, I thought. A few seconds later though, a bus pulled up in front of her. Ah! She was hailing the bus. I chuckled, because that tiny moment dragged me straight back to one of my earliest culture shocks in the UK. When I first moved her…
