a little about me
My family would tell you I started writing when I was 6, as I crafted makeshift paperbacks out of folded printer paper with 3 staples along its spine. Back then, my stories were more like brief anecdotes, typically set at my elementary school and including the few friends I had been able to make as an ESL student. I don't recall much of my English-learning journey, probably because my mind didn't know which language to think in, but it must have come as a shock to everyone when years later, I fell in love with writing.
High school and college were a battle of passions, concluded in the bittersweet reality that I didn't have to make a singular choice in what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I discovered new hobbies, let go of old ones, and built myself a portfolio of the things that make me happy, writing at the forefront of it all. I'd love to say I was doing it full time post graduation, but I've grappled with the fact that maybe that life isn't in the cards for me right now, and maybe one day it will be.
One thing I do know is that I'll never stop sharing, be it in one way or another. Amidst my newfound love for the art of Muay Thai and my desire to keep filling my life with whatever feels best, be it cooking, painting, hiking, traveling, the list goes on - I know I'll never stop sharing the trials I've gone through, the feelings I've experienced, the lessons I've learned through stories I've written.
