THE
REalization

I'm an aspiring Web Designer and Journalist. I lost my father when I was 7 months old. Throughout my upbringing,  my mom kept reminding me that, despite having an incomplete family, I can still reach for my dreams. I was very competitive as a student. However, my Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Operations Management did not provide the academic distinction that I needed nor made me feel satisfied. I needed to figure out why.

If you have a broken family, it doesn’t mean you’re scarred for life. Continue to pray and work hard.

The burden of Perfectionism and being validated was overwhelming. I've experienced anxiety and depression. This led me to finally acknowledge my ultimate truth when I came out as a gay man to my parents

THE
REVELATION

THE
TRANSITION

After university, I got immersed in the Banking and Finance Industry for almost two years. I was not satisfied. I tried to find my happiness by reverting to the things I'd always love doing: writing and designing.
