Never Give Up
Sometimes when traveling, you get to be anonymous and become a stranger among strangers. But strangers can become your friends, lovers, heroes, or inspiration. Although I was born in a generation where women are much more privileged than in the past, as a woman, I did have moments that made me realize the struggles manyContinue reading “Never Give Up”

Choices and Opinions
When travelling, it can’t be helped but encounter people with different opinions, beliefs, and life choices. Naturally, according to one’s background, people develop different ideologies and life paths. However, sometimes, I wonder if and when I should interfere with someone’s beliefs. The past year I got to live and make friends with people from differentContinue reading “Choices and Opinions”
Normal
If normal is overrated, it would mean that there is normalcy in life. But is there really such a thing as being normal? Sometimes I wonder what normal really is.

However, in the Greek language it has a deeper meaning. It combines the two words ανώ and ορώ which mean up and see. So, the word canContinue reading “Beyond”
