Wild Courage by Jenny Wood Changed the Way I Think About Ambition
I am someone who usually plays it safe in the workplace. One thing about me is that I genuinely dislike conflict, especially at work. If you are the kind of person who constantly picks on others or creates unnecessary tension, I will still remain professional and work with you respectfully, but I will also create clear boundaries. Some workplaces honestly fe
18–23 May: Workplace Reflections, Strange Encounters, and Life in Scotland
Image of sunset I have been trying to express my thoughts for days now, but for some reason, I just could not do it. Last week felt heavy in different ways.

An Ice Cream Date at Sighthill Park
Yesterday, I visited Sighthill Park and it felt like an endless journey while sitting in one spot. Not because something huge happened. Not because life suddenly changed. But because for a few hours, I sat in the middle of nature, people, noise, sunlight, birds, trains, conversations, and human behaviour, and I simply observed life happening around me. I pla
