Header image I'm the kind of person who is attracted to cheerful, playful, and humorous energy (intelligence with a dash of wit is a cherry on top). Often, when I don't find it, it turns me off. I feel odd, experiencing a mix of emotions—happy, sad, thoughtful, and scared all at once. Loud noises, shouting, and taunting make me uncomfortable. I get scared so easily now that it's hard to open up to anyone. I just want to keep suffocating and wish I could disappear. But something inside keeps asking for one more push to move on. And here I am, sitting and thinking the same thing over and over. I get scared. I just want to suffocate and disappear, but I can't help it. I have a life to live, even though I don't want to, but I have to. Maybe I'll save that for the end. One day, when you look back, you may realize that maybe it wasn't a love story, but a true story. Does it feel like something you’ve always wanted to share with the world ...

  Introduction This poem is a raw and powerful reflection on society's misconceptions about what it means to be a "real man." It came to me during a moment of deep contemplation, a time when I found myself frustrated with the idea of masculinity that many blindly follow. Through these words, I wanted to express the hypocrisy and double standards that often define how we perceive strength, respect, and empathy. The verses are meant to shine a light on the arrogance and ignorance of those who believe they can dominate or disrespect others in the name of power. It holds up a mirror to false pride and toxic behavior, challenging the idea that respect can be earned through aggression and intimidation. This poem aims to question these misguided notions, calling for a deeper understanding of what truly makes someone "strong" or "manly." At its core, this poem is deeply personal, serving as a mirror for my own self-reflection. It was born from my need to conf...

Header Image Introduction W(caps) hen working with brands, creating a clear and effective Brand Guidelines manual is essential for maintaining consistency across all platforms. Recently, I designed a comprehensive manual for kitchen and bath specialists , tailored to reflect their luxurious yet approachable brand identity. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the steps I took to create this manual and share some screenshots from my Figma workboard to illustrate the process.

Since they already had a website established the job was ...

  Header Image Introduction This poem holds a special place in my heart. A few months ago, while I was sitting alone in my room, a few words came to me as I was speaking with someone dear to me. I simply arranged those words, and this poem emerged. At the time, I didn't quite understand why it came to me, especially since everything seemed to be going so well. But now, I think I know the answer. This poem has become a way of life for me, a breath of fresh air that keeps me going. It has been my constant companion through the ups and downs, and I believe it always will be. Setting the Stage Picture yourself in a quiet space, where every corner of the room echoes with memories and whispers of unspoken words. It’s late at night, and the world outside is hushed, while inside, your thoughts are alive, weaving stories and emotions that only you understand. This is the moment when your mind wanders back to someone special—a person who unknowingly leaves traces in every thought, every brea...

  Header Image Introduction Have you ever found yourself stuck, knowing what to do but still unable to act on it? Maybe you’ve read every book, listened to countless podcasts, and analyzed all the data, but when it comes time to put knowledge into practice, something seems to be missing. You might be experiencing what Simon Roberts explores in his book, The Power of Not Thinking : the concept that the answers you’re seeking might not be in your head but in your body. Roberts challenges the long-standing belief that intelligence and decision-making come solely from the mind. Instead, he introduces us to the idea of embodied knowledge —a form of intelligence that lives in the whole body, not just the brain. Let’s dive into this idea and see how our senses, physical skills, and intuition play a key role in our ability to understand and navigate the world. The Myth of the Mind Alone For centuries, Western culture has championed the idea that our minds are separate from our bodies. The ...

Header Image Introduction This poem is a deeply emotional exploration of loneliness, vulnerability, and the solace we sometimes find in the simplest things, like speaking to walls. It captures the moments when words fall short with people, and we turn to inanimate objects to pour out our pain, hopes, and disappointments. The poem invites us into a world where silence speaks louder than words, where the walls become our silent companions in times of despair. It's a reflection on those times when life feels overwhelming—when people let us down, when dreams shatter, and when the world seems to turn its back. The walls, in their quiet and steady presence, listen without judgment, offering a sense of comfort in our darkest hours. Through these verses, you will journey through the depths of solitude, heartbreak, and the inner battles we face when we have no one else to turn to. As you read, let yourself be drawn into the emotion of s...
