which leads to us think what everyone else is thinking? but how can we read different books when the bestseller list is conveniently placed at my fingertips by the algorithm? how can i not consume the same media as everyone around me in today's day and age? why would i go out of the way when at the end, i will stumble upon something that someone has already read?

we learned about this idea of "cabinet of collections" in one of my classes in uni so i decided to dig up my cabinet of collections. cabinet of collections to me signifies the things that we unknowingly collect. Before we used to collect things because they were rare or unusual. I believe it is the things that are so common for us now but will be unusual or rare in the future and we have just not realised it. Maybe the things we collect aren’t just reminders of the past but blueprints for who we’re becoming......

came across these lists of things that someone put up on pinterest and wanted to talk if i beieved in those things. was surprising on the reasonings i came up with behind my beliefs. we talked about right person, wrong time, keeping no expectations, time heals, privacy, if they want to, they would and bunch more things. hope you enjoy this week's episode!!

having my fair share of failed friendships, here's my set of boundaries that i have created for having healthy friendships to avoid getting hurt again because friendship breakup are definitely one of the worst things someone can experience.

so recently found this sister of Chatgpt called therapy AI and fed it prompts of my thoughts from my notes. we talked about blaming myself about things that happen in my life to being scared to become a parent to how worrying it is that i easily let things go in life to being jealousy of having the ability to talk anything, anytime to anyone. lemme know if you want a part 2 with prompts from you guys!!

well the idea of being original is flawed in itself because everyone is inspired or influenced by someone or something. no one invented something just like that. so why do you have to chase this idea of being original. you can't be. you will always be a reflection of your past, a mirror of your present and path to your future. everything about you comes from all the people around you - the ones you like or the ones you hate? how much of that is shown in this mosaic of life is what make you, YOU.

a lot of things inspired me to talk about trying to find the balance between feeling guilty about the privileges that more than 40 percent of the population in this world doesn't have yet still wanting more. i can't help but think about this everyday. It is not like I am asking for the moon, i am asking things that are the bare minimum for others. the things i want, i don't have but its not like i have nothing. I struggle to find this balance to feel grateful but also find myself longing for more.

the title speaks for itself. we all have had moments where everything goes against us and we feel like the whole world is against us. give a listen to this episode and maybe it might help u through this, putting in a new perspective that you may not have thought of.

this is a very special curated list of the things that currently consume my like list rn and this is me talking about why I like them for an hour - hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos of constantly rebranding ourselves(winter arc, summer reset)—why we do it, how Pinterest fuels our obsession, and the deeper emotional catch behind chasing the next version of “me.” From aesthetic Pinterest boards to the never-ending cycle of glow-up culture, we’ll explore why we’re addicted to reinventing ourselves every two weeks and what it’s really doing to our mental health. Plus, some honest reflections on slowing down, taking care of yourself, and realizing that maybe…you’re already enough. Grab your green juice or some ice cream (depending on your current vibe), and let’s talk about it.
