ABOUT ME
For the past couple of years, I’ve constantly gone back and forth in deciding whether to make the step and launch my own blog. I desired a creative space to express my thoughts and experiences ever since I decided to study abroad. I found myself being discouraged and dispirited whenever I thought of stepping outside of my comfort zone, but I decided to just make a step. I would have never imagined that I would be in this position today, as I am much more confident, open to new possibilities and willing to try something beyond what I am comfortable with.
MAKING A STEP

Since growing up, I have always been told that I was ‘made for more’ but I guess it took me a while to see it within myself. I have always second guessed myself and lacked that self-confidence to try something different especially if there wasn’t any certainty of success. But, in 2018, I decided to set a few goals for 2019, which was something I had never done before because I didn’t see much value in doing so. However, I wondered what it would be like if I actually made a goal and had a ‘vision’ of how I wanted my year to play out and I did just that. Since making a few attainable goals, I found myself planning for and also achieving these goals. I simply decided to make a step in using my very own experiences, views and thoughts to hopefully inspire and positively impact others.
