Be a Chameleon
Imagine you are watching a stereotypical teenage movie. You see the main character, love interest, best friends, and background actors. It is simple to identify their labels among different cliques. You know athletes from mean girls and the academically inclined from the socially inept. Then, you have characters that fall into more than one category. They make the movie longer than it needs to be because, occasionally, they are the ones with identity issues. What about rare individuals who fall into all categories?

What is Means to be an Author
Authors are creative thinkers with a knack for storytelling. They use the written word to express their ideas and share their stories with the world. The act of writing helps them organize their thoughts, build upon their own experiences, and tell other people's stories. The right words can feel empowering, allow us to escape our problems for a little while, or help us feel less.

My 13-Year-Old YouTube Vlogger Time Capsule
The greatest creative ideas come out of something we don't have enough of these days: boredom. Believe me, I'm not complaining about the constant content we get in 2021 thanks to the internet, social media, news, books, movies, and other things. There's always an activity to occupy yourself with, and that's a great thing. But there's something so magical about feeling stuck in a mental rut and finding a way to climb out of it thanks to human instincts, discoveries, and willpower. Sometimes, your future will thank you for it.

On Becoming the Great
As an anxious overthinker, I tend to put myself through imaginary scenarios more often than Id like to admit. Sometimes the scenarios play out as happy fantasies and sometimes they’re the stuff of nightmares. Regardless whether they’re good or bad, I find comfort in knowing they are not real. I can alter myself and my emotions to fit the narrative and create whatever ending I choose. Real life doesn’t work that way. There is no rewinding, no do-overs. You take action and deal with the effects as they come. Life is full of ups and downs. Cliché to say, but true. It is in my experience that when life gets low, you find out who you really are and what you’re truly capable of.

Let's Talk About The Burnout Syndrome
Now, more than ever, the professional side has a strong impact on personal life. The sustained effort that you dedicate to the effort to evolve professionally as much as possible or to maintain a certain balance between the professional and the personal life puts its imprint on your physical and mental state.

Chasm
I'm staring at this computer with a keyboard filled with all the letters of the alphabet, numbers, figures, signs, and punctuation marks. Countless ways to express my heart, and I can't find the words. I have an endless supply before me and nothing to say. I've tried stories, poems, letters, but nothing works. What words could adequately express what I'm feeling? I'm not sure I know it myself. And maybe that's the problem. It's not that I can't put words to it, but I'm not sure what medium is best to truly describe it and capture its essence.

I’m Too Much of a Hobbit to Be an Influencer. Top Story - December 2021.
I love reading and writing with my whole heart. My goal is to one day make a true living doing exactly what I love. However, that goal ends there. I still want to be surrounded by my loved ones, and deeply enjoy living our plain, unassuming lives. I've been thinking considerably about the reasons I want to write, and enjoy the writing process in the first place. What motivates me? What propels me forward? Why do I write?
