WELCOME

I write to force first myself and then others to think.

Here, you will find essays from me about what I experienced through living. Sometimes you will encounter a business piece, sometimes an opinion piece on the ways of the society, sometimes a dive into the depths of myself, and more. 

I started writing just for myself initially. I had been going through a rough period and took up writing to be my safe haven, my escape from the stress and anxiety of just any regular day. At first, I had no intention of publishing any of my writing, but as I wrote I realized that I had lots to say about not just myself but also the society humans are living in. Then I thought others might want to read what I started to uncover about myself and the rest of humanity as an extension. 

 

Most important of all, writing showed me that I did not think; not in a critical sense. I just allowed myself to be lulled by the voice of a TV, scrolling through social media, and working from the start of the day until bedtime. I am just an average person, so I believe the rest of the populace must be in similar positions to be lulled just as I have been. Therefore, I hope, when you read my writings you will realize there is a piece of you that went to sleep long ago, and then we can try to wake it up together.

To navigate my essays, you can search from the categories and tags below, or dive into the Essays tab yourself and take your pick from the litter.
