This is me at 20- nearly seven years ago. This is when I decided to start to be a teacher. For six years, I have taught several doctors, engineers, lawyers and computer scientists. I also taught students who were planning to go abroad. I mainly helped students with their English skills but also taught college course books and especially helped students who had little time to cram lots of information.

The original plan was to teach for a year but it stretched on for six years. I grew much attached to my students and their goals. In the midst of it all, I kind of forgot my own goals.

This Feb, I am deciding to go for my dreams. I want to take up remote work and travel to a special person. I am closing my private Institute in July, 2022 and I plan to get a job as a content writer. I hope to start by March so I can ease into the whole career shift.

I have been writing since 2009. I have written blog posts, stories, novels, poetry and everything in between. I have also ghostwritten and proofread written content for friends, in 2016

I have had issues with mental health for a very long and I have numbed myself with addictive behavior, for many years. I am breaking out of those cycles now. I am not ready to settle for anything less than what I love and deserve. I am proud to be facing my demons and slaying them finally, after coexisting with them for more than a decade.

So, that's me...I hope to churn out thoughtful stuff here and inspire others while getting inspired myself. I pray we all get to smile and be happy. Cheers!
