2022 reflections, concepts, lessons learned, and more

It’s tradition to reflect on all of the things I’ve learned for 2022 — all of the good, and bad, concepts, discoveries, and truths. I did one for 2021, and it was a long list (check it out if you want). I’ve looked back on the 2021 list and there…

It’s worth chasing excitement

I believe that the ability to choose is a luxury. To be able to choose how you live your life, what kind of job you do, your hobbies and your overall lifestyle is something that not many can say. That’s why if you have to choose something, you should choose…

What’s in a name?

I recently took a trip with my parents over this month, and I used it to learn more about our past, our history, and our culture. One of the biggest findings was to learn about the significance of my name. What felt arbitrary now made sense after learning the meaning…

The limitations we put on ourselves

In a series of unfortunate events-mostly my fault- I forgot my earphones and had to go to the gym without any audible protection. Terrible gym music is one thing, but listening to conversations is downright dreadful. One conversation caught my attention; a woman complained to her friend that she doesn’t…

Memorial Day tribute: They fought for us to be lazy or productive

Every single Memorial day, I get conflicted about being incredibly productive or lazy. On one hand, I feel terrible when I waste a holiday doing nothing, and on the other, I should try to maximize every single day. …

Never take it for granted

This article is inspired by an experience at the grocery stores with one of my older relatives. He was a bit older so we had to go at navigate slower during one of the busier times of the day. When I shop, I know exactly what I want and can…

I love being humbled

I believe one of the best things that can happen to you is getting humbled often. It’s so refreshing to experience the scale of difference between where you are versus what things are. …

You’re not as smart as you think you are

I remembered one of my earliest job working at a restaurant and encountering one of the employees that thought he was way too smart for his job. I remembered all of the rants he would go on, the typical “if I was the manager or the owner…”, and how the…
