Currently working on my graduate degree, which means balancing research papers, late nights, and too much caffeine.

But for as long as I can remember, I've had one creative goal sitting quietly on my bucket list. To write a story and share it with the world. This summer, I finally decided to take the leap.

I'm using this rare window of free time to create and publish my very first Wattpad story. It's been a mix of excitement, nerves, and a whole lot of staring at blinking cursors. Still, there's something incredibly fulfilling about bringing characters and worlds to life after years of only imagining them.

This is my quiet little side project, a break from academic life and a step into storytelling. If you're someone who's always dreamed of writing, or you're just trying to squeeze creativity into a busy life, you're not alone.

Here's to taking chances on things we've always wanted to do.
