An Odyssey Of Being

a little piece of sonder

There’s this thing called ‘sonder’, and it describes the profound understanding that every single person in the world – every stranger that touches your life, however briefly, is living a life that is just as unique and complex as your own.

So this is just a place for me to share some of the odd things that happen in my own silly little life.

  • Guy Fawkes Night

    Again, I’m not very good at this updating thing – it’s been a month since my last post, and that isn’t very productive for an alleged blogger. Oh well, I didn’t want this to become just another deadline and job that stresses me out, so I suppose it’s alright. We’ve just come back from a…

  • It’s one thing after another here
