Looking back in 2020: A Year of Challenges and Gratitude
As the year 2020 ends, we may find ourselves looking back to all the events that have happened around us. Many of us wait for better days to come, for grander years to embrace. We endure only on the premise that we have to keep looking and moving forward until those better days are at our doorstep. Good and bad things have happened. Even though for some, a lot of unfortunate were shown, it’s still what made us who we are in the end. You would probably agree when I say that 2020 has become a sh*tstorm full of disappointments, bad news, and an unending wave of problems that came…
Finding Yourself: An Essential Journey To Self-Discovery
I am so delighted to share with you this long-awaited collaboration with one of my favorite bloggers, Ashley of Beautiful Disaster Lit blog. Ashley is one of the most authentic and badass bloggers I truthfully admire, and who writes strongly about what she believes in. Do check out her blog here! Smoking to some local strain, and listening to Lauv’s I Like Me Better this night, I am writing about Finding Yourself. To tell you honestly, I got nothing at first. Then one day, during this one meditation period, I kind of surprisingly asked myself “What is my purpose?” Believe it or not, this one question got me typing this…
8 Powerful Tips You Can Use When You Start Self-Hosting Your Blog
I know that self-hosting is a lot different and a more complex process. There were a handful of things I learned from my experience. Aside from that, to me, it felt like blogging became an opening to a bigger set of opportunities and growth. I think one of the things you’re gonna have to deal with is that when you are in the process of self-managing your blog, you can’t just ignore the things that other bloggers talk about and give importance to. Once you decide to be in the blogging journey, it’s no doubt that you have to step up your plans for your blog too. Why? Because you…
The Basics of Understanding Self-Hosting
It’s October and I kind of wanted to share my blogging experiences this month. A highlight of which is my self-hosting process. Since I have gone self-hosted, I feel like I have learned so much about blogging that I didn’t even understand before. I’ve been hearing a lot of questions asked about having a self-hosted blog. Questions like, “what’s it really like when you have a self-hosted blog?” or like, “what do I get from having a self-hosted blog?” or simpler questions like, “What is self-hosting?” The truth is, I was as clueless as they were before I got into this path. I didn’t know what it meant to have…
How To Mindfully Deal With Setbacks In Your Life
I have recently been asked how I deal with my setbacks in life, and I thought, before, those pretty much made a mess out of me. I was the kind who easily gets discouraged and demotivated. And so, experiencing setbacks, whether in my studies or passions, was a huge challenge for me to overcome. As an undergraduate student and a blogger, most of my problems were either related to academic situations or blogging. Getting delayed, failing an exam, etc. Having experienced those misfortunes, I always blamed myself for not doing better beforehand. I indulge in thoughts about “what could have happened” or “what ifs” and it didn’t help me cope…

7 Misconceptions About Happiness
Hi guys! Welcome back to my baby blog! It has been sooo many weeks and the clingy inner child in me misses the WordPress community. I’m glad I can finally get back to writing. 🙂 Anyway, this week we’re going to talk about happiness. A word that everyone seems to be talking about these days including me. Undeniably, this word has covered a lot of meaning throughout time. Since the ancient Greeks, happiness is attempted to be described, taping it with the word eudaimonia which means “to live well”, as if it was a beauty one can dare to attain. In an article I’ve read, modern science looks at happiness…
