Friendships
Friends hold up a mirror so you see yourself with clarity – and change parts you don’t like with brevity The best things in life don’t cost a dime. Friends – case in point. It’s been a week since I’ve been back home in Vancouver after holidaying in Australia with my family. This happens to…

Feels like sh*t
So today was one of those days when it all just hits the fan. When you’re all up in your feels, its -13c outside (hence leaving your room is obviously not an option), and you don’t know whether it’ll pass at all. To call it a low point is an understatement. I’m sure we’ve all…

Michelle Obama x Jay Shetty Podcast
TLDR: – Staying open in friendships – not closed and controlling – Learning to be interdependent in relationships – Being strategically authentic – where is the other person mentally? So I just listened to the recent Jay Shetty podcast episode, featuring Michelle Obama. Man, everytime I listen to that woman, I feel lit up from…

Are we running out of time?
[Jan 9, 2024] Today went by in a jiffy. I barely slept last night, went into the office today, did some admin work and tried another portfolio project. It didn’t end up working. But by then, my head had a horrible ache, so I rushed home (because I thought I’d be having a verrrrrry late…

A Spiritual Awakening
So. Over the holidays, I went to Sydney with my family. And to say the least, I came back enlightened. Before the trip, I’d been feeling a little – what’s the word – uninspired. Bland. Dull. And very disconnected from myself. On this trip I not only had some of the most amazing experiences of…

The Ironies of Life
Sometimes I think of how ironic it is the way life plays out. Its funny how we have to consistently get down in the trenches before finding the light, an even brighter light. I know how treacherous it can feel when you’re at a low, and how miserable it can feel when you lose hope….

Gratitude is the way forward
[June 2023] Hi. After a hectic season of moving homes, graduating and catching up with family, I just returned to my new home. My parents and I went on a graduation trip to New York – my favorite city in the world, that I’d never been to. This was my first time, and it was…

Filling your own cup
I’ve heard this saying more than a couple of times – “you should fill your own cup first before you attempt to fill someone else’s” – just like how you need to put your own oxygen mask first on an airplane before putting on one to someone else. I’m struggling with how this actually comes…

Finding our footing
I genuinely think it’s so important to find your own place in the world. Understand your role, understand what you’re good at, and how you add value to society. It’s not about fitting in, but about becoming a part of something larger than yourself. Without having this concrete grounding, you constantly find yourself bewildered and…
