Does ambition ever feel pointless? Why do we hustle like the progression of the world depends on our performance sometimes? After all, the bigger picture is that we all perish some day and the world moves on without us, no matter how important we assume our contribution to it or to its residents is after...

Journal entry – chasing toxicity!
The brightest, most sorted of minds are perhaps occasionally attracted to toxicity. Makes me feel so much better about myself to know. Being attracted to a feeling of lack induced by something/someone when everything else is seemingly fine is a toxic trait I’ve been long since been guilty of. Worse still, perhaps one I’ll still...
