  • Under and Upside down

    Recently, I have embarked on an insane journey across the world. I don’t have my official ID but I am a post-graduate student at the University of Sydney in Australia.

  • Participating in NaNoWriMo!

    In the last few months, I have been working on a story that I hope to one day try to get published into the world (if I am happy with the end result). As you guys know, writing is hard and finding motivation to continue is fleeting. So I will be using National Novel Writing…

  • Learning the Art of Letting Go | Simply Musings

    Something no one tells you about growing up is learning the art of letting go.  I have a tendency of being a dragon. I cannot fly, nor breath fire, nor cast fear those around me. I can, however, hoard. All my possessions are a form of treasure. Each with a little story of how it…

  • Introverted and in a New Place – Update

  • Introverted and in a New Place

    I am what you call an introvert. For those who don’t know an introvert is “a shy, reticent person” by textbook definition. There may moments that I feel adventurous or daring, but 75% it is an actual effort than a natural feeling. I tell myself that I am shy because I’m not a people person.…
