TMT: Who are you if not your work?
Hey all! I haven’t delivered a TMT in a while, but today I have something more personal to talk about. Let’s begin. Lately, I’ve been sitting with the question, “Who are you if not your work?” or even more simply, “Who are you?” I’ve realized that I tend to define myself by what I produce,…

I suppose to an ordinary person, this would be an embarrassing thing to admit, but I’m quite over all of the extreme emotions, and instead, I’m trying to settle into a peaceful understanding…

Brief Catch Up: Where I’ve Been and my Summer Plans ✈️
Hello! Welcome to a long-awaited post. I’ve been busy. I know I ought to have a better excuse than that, but it’s true. Busy and undisciplined. In my free time, I have been creating drafts and drafts of posts that have never seen the light, because I’m somewhat of a perfectionist and cannot release mediocre…

TMT: Don’t Quit, Find an Alternative
Let’s face it, many of us lose hope after failing. We’ve conditioned ourselves to stop trying after our initial plan fails. Generally, you don’t need to find an alternative to something just because it’s challenging. Suppose you want to participate in a spelling bee, but you’re intimidated by other competitors. In that case, you don’t…

It’s December 31st and I’m wrapped in a blanket on my couch, excited yet sad… 2024 has been one of the best years of my life, both personally, and blog-wise. I’m in disbelief of how far this blog has progressed. There are 65 posts (not including this one) and that means there were roughly 5…

🌻Things That Have Made Life Feel Okay Recently😊
It may be Autumn, but The Beach Boys are still on repeat. If Kokomo lifts my spirits, I’ll allow it to. Dry Creek Wrangler School on YouTube, and DeWayne, the channel’s creator, may be my favorite source of wisdom daily. Sometimes things are just hard, and all you have are the small things. Sometimes no…
