''Paste this Britney Spears line: “I must
confess, that my loneliness, is killing me now..” onto my first phase of
blogging life: disorganized and clueless. The thing here is, I made my first
blog during sixth grade and ended up gaining a shameful make-face for myself,
instead of a figurative pat on the back. So I crafted another one, until I
reached *not-so-intended drum roll* a total of five substance-less blogs. I
didn’t know where I was going.
Then there came a time when I felt that
there was something wrong; I had to make a turnaround! Things started to sweep
off like splashing waves ready wash me anew: What was I blogging for? What
would I like to achieve? And heaviest of all: What story would I like to tell?
Third year high school approached and I
realized that my five substance-less blogs were just products of musings-- seemingly walking aimlessly on a field filled
with details of anything but a vision.
From that moment forward, I began to evolve
in the social media world with a very special intention; a vision made for all—to
build and reconnect stories. I realized
I’d always longed for that to happen.''

I am a sixteen-year-old college freshman who is fond of struggling to get out of the conventional lines and moreover plunge into life-enhancing types of complexities. I believe that my systems are journeying to fathom the unfathomable; to unlock things that are only impossible in the head, but possible—actually—with a determined heart (also with a pen on one hand and a camera on the other). Most of all, I aspire to matter, one step at a time.
