On intuition…
I got back to playing competitive soccer recently, so I went down a rabbit hole of learning the new meta, ideas, and tactics being used nowadays. The more I dug, the more I realized that there are no videos or readings that will help me more when I’m in the field than my intuition. The … Continue reading On intuition…
Scars
Scars are beautiful. They remind us that we dared to try doing something. Scars remind us that we made it through tough situations – we survived. They remind us that we are stronger than our failures. There is a story behind every scar. It’s a story to be told to those who care, to those … Continue reading Scars
Goodbyes
It feels weird. I used to give a hug, say bye, then leave. But now I think it’s a bit more challenging to do so – to say goodbyes. Is this even a thing? Does this happen as we grow older and realize how much more valuable time is? Especially time with parents, family, and … Continue reading Goodbyes

Every day is shorter, and every year goes by faster. I learned to know myself better. I learned … Continue reading A new year – time, self-awareness, and wisdom
She departed
She is gone. I'm out of words. What kind of emotions and feelings am I supposed to have now that she has departed? Good people keep leaving us sooner than we would like, but why? I don't know, and I'm not looking for the answer. In fact, I don't even want to know. There might … Continue reading She departed
A trip around the sun
The past week was spent celebrating my birthday. It surprisingly lasted the whole week. And I had the most precious people celebrating it with me. I'm thankful for that. This year I missed spending my birthday around other good friends that have left the Bay Area or my life in general. Turning around the sun … Continue reading A trip around the sun
Starting
Most of us are scared to begin something: a new job, a new relationship, a new business, a conversation, a step forward, aside, or down... You are not the only one. But what separates one person from another is the willingness to jump into the unknown and start. We will never know everything. We know … Continue reading Starting
