2022 | A Year in Review

Another year is coming to an end and with that, a new one is coming. As I have said in my previous blog post, 2022 came with the impression of 2020 2.0. But then, as the year unfolded, it got better and better and just kept on giving and giving. This was a year of receiving blessings, of following …

Midnights 10.21 💙 It's me, hi. I'm the problem, it's me

This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terror and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face.

When I think about my childhood, I can always remember how my brother and I have fights all the time when we were still little. My brother and I have a two-year gap. We grew up pretty close, being each other's playmates, being each other's punching bags whenever we have disagreements. I'…

Going Green: Another Hairstory

I've always been adventurous with my hair, but since I left for Dubai, I haven't touched it and just simply let it grow freely. I've had it grown long, I've cut it short and then grew it again. It was a boring cycle of long and short locks, and maybe it's this spontaneous side o…

The First Half of 2022

But then it turned out that the situation got a lot better than the year before. The restrictions were not as strict, and everything seemed to be ge…
