Celebrating You!
As an undergrad student, I remember holding an edited volume and scanning the table of contents. I remember seeing names of people I have never met but admired. Even though I did not know them personally, I was struck by their intelligence. Surely not everyone gets published. Being published is a badge of honour. It Continue reading

You Won’t Break My Soul 2023
I’m not gonna lie. It took me awhile to write this. I wanted to write it to start off the year. Things, however, have been rather hectic. 2022 took me for quite a wild ride. It was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. The highs were highs and the low of lows. I was taken Continue reading

These are the ones who, against what the conventional world is telling them, Continue reading

Secede in te ipsum
I once had a blog that I titled “Secede in te ipsum”. I was reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and it was talking about the need to retreat within ourselves so that we can know ourselves. For me, since social media plays such a big part of my life, sometimes I have to pull back Continue reading

Reflections on Good Friday
A lot of the times, I really do feel that everything in Christianity is just so incredibly messed up in comparison to how the world normally works. Normally, people want to live. And yet, Jesus says that if we truly want to live, we have to die first. A lot of us would avoid pain Continue reading

Day 16 – The Lenten Journey of Sid
I think that God has given me certain gifts that I feel like I haven’t been able to use in awhile. I used to be more involved in different church ministries but lately haven’t been as active as before due to personal reasons. I wanted to change that and talked to a pastor about potentially Continue reading
