• The Watch That Taught Me Time

    Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

  • Echoes in My Earbuds: The Podcasts That Travel With Me

    What podcasts are you listening to? There’s a strange kind of intimacy in podcasts β€” a voice whispering through your earbuds while the world moves around you.

  • The Language That Found Me

    What was your favorite subject in school? There’s a certain smell that lingers in memoryβ€”the chalk dust, the ink stains on fingertips, and the soft rustle of notebooks filled with scribbles of dreams.

  • The Glow Beyond the Screen

    How do you manage screen time for yourself? There was a time when my world glowed a little too brightlyβ€”an endless scroll of updates, reels, and β€œjust one more video.” I told myself it was for inspiration, research, or even β€œmental relaxation.” But one evening, as the sun dipped behind my window and the screen…

  • When Time Slips Through Our Fingers

    Do you need time? There are days when time feels like a polite guest β€” sitting quietly beside me, waiting to be noticed. And then there are days when it’s a thief β€” running faster than my breath, stealing moments I meant to hold on to. This morning, as I sat with my half-finished coffee,…

  • Three Years From Now

    What will your life be like in three years? Three years from now, I imagine waking up to sunlight that doesn’t feel rushed.

  • The Day of Unfinished Things

    Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. There’s a quiet drawer in every home β€” you know the one. The drawer filled with half-written letters, tangled headphones, old keys, and a mysterious sense of β€œI’ll finish that later.” I propose a new holiday: The Day of Unfinished Things. Celebrated every year on…

  • The Hidden Corners of My Browser Tabs

    What are your favorite websites? There’s a quiet ritual I follow every morningβ€”coffee in one hand, laptop in the other, the world just beginning to wake. While some people scroll endlessly through social media, I find comfort in the soft glow of a few select websitesβ€”my little islands of calm and curiosity in the vast…

  • The Year I’d Relive β€” When Time Felt Like a Friend

    Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live? There’s a certain year that often tiptoes back into my thoughts β€” 2012. I was younger, lighter in spirit, and the world seemed to hum in brighter colors. It wasn’t the most successful year of my life, nor the most dramatic, but it…

  • The Day the World Stood Still β€” My Fascination with the Moon Landing

    What historical event fascinates you the most? There are moments in history that seem to stop time β€” moments when humanity collectively holds its breath, eyes lifted toward the unknown.
