AI Won’t Replace Writers, But Writers Need Your Help

Readers need to be more discerning about their content creators than ever. — As if I wasn’t depressed enough, an old friend told me that if I were to pick a skill to learn, it shouldn’t be writing because AI is getting really good at it. Will AI replace writers? He believes so. Yes, AI is getting really good at writing. I know…

I’m a Circle in a Square (I don’t really want to be a part of this)

This is why I’m underemployed. — 6pm. Rush hour. I found myself amongst the commuters on the train home, their faces tired and blank. A lucky passenger who scored a seat was nodding away, hugging his chubby backpack. He almost missed his stop. It brought me right back to my commuting days so many years ago…

The Bittersweetness of Leaving

Coming home always elicits a host of feelings. — Time has a way of getting away from us. It felt like a lifetime ago that I made the decision to move to the States to be with my partner. In the blink of an eye, 5 years rushed by. When I made the decision, it was the easiest thing…

“The Whale” Is Gut-wrenching, But It’s Worth Our Tears

This post contains spoilers from the movie The Whale. — I watched The Whale without knowing much about it. In fact, I dove into the movie thinking it would be an uplifting and meaningful movie about how a severely obese and house-bound man inspired those around him. I was so wrong. The Whale is not a movie made for enjoyment…

We Complicate Love, But Maybe It Should Be Simple

We just have to get rid of our societal baggage. — My sis-in-law asked me once, “would you prefer a partner with a compatible personality or a partner with money?” “Personality,” I replied. It was a no-brainer to me. I was an idealist and admittedly more romantic than I let on. My brother was right there beside her, and she said…

A Regular Person Reviews The Banshees Of Inisherin

The Banshees of Inisherin is a melodramatic movie set on a harsh beautiful island that may make you think about life. — (This review contains a brief analysis of the movie and I’ve kept it as vague as I can while still being able to provide my views. I believe there are no spoilers. But please don’t read it if you want a fresh unbiased experience!) My partner suggested we watch The…

I’ve Desecrated Writing

Day 7 of 30: I think I know better now. I think. — Just 6 posts into my writing experiment, doubt poke its head out of its hiding place and waved at me enthusiastically. “Are you sure you should do this? You’re really not much of a writer,” it said. I rolled my eyes. “Of course I know that, but no one was…

I tried to turn a hobby into a hustle. It did not go well

Day 5 of 30: Learning from the death of a hobby to save another — It all started with this quote: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” — Mark Twain I totally bought into it. I wanted to craft a life I love, a life that’s genuine to me. …

I hated how plain she looked, then I ended up looking just as plain.

Day 4 of 30: A page from my youth. — I’d forgotten her name, but I remember how much I disliked her the moment I saw her. She had just walked into the lecture theatre in her plain blouse and black pants. Shoulder-length hair, undyed, unstyled, framing a face untouched by any makeup. She’s so plain, I thought.
