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
Take the smallest step
Small steps lead to more significant actions. Therefore, we can say that small steps lead to big goals. We can approach most goals using similar approaches because most follow identical processes.

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

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
Celebrating life
Life is so short and death comes by so quickly, especially taking away the best ones from our side. What does somebody leave behind death? A legacy? But what kind of legacy and through whom and how? I believe we leave our legacy by doing good, fighting for the right reasons, and inspiring others to … Continue reading Celebrating life
My Goal
As a human being, I try to be better everyday, make people around me better, and hopefully, leave the world in a better place. But everything starts from within because that's the only part I have control over.
