Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that prompts people to jump to the worst possible conclusion, usually with very limited information or objective reason to despair. ~ psychology today The space to create If my 18 year old self could see me today, she would be very jealous. Not because of glamour or glitz, but because I have curated a life where I have everything I ever wanted to create. A space I can call my own. Fun fact: before 22, I had never had a room to myself. Funny since I grew up an only child. I remember during COVID I would take my calls outside the verandah because all the rooms were occupied. And now, I have had a space I curated and build, to work, to live, to cook and to be creative on. Though much to my dismay, all the space in the world couldn’t afford me the win of creating, learning and building. ...

🚧 my second submission on mental health, and beyond. Proceed with caution! Song: Together in this by Natasha Bedingfield To better interact with the content, you can go back a few steps and read about the beginning before proceeding. As always with medical drama series, proceed with caution. This is a very detailed premise of dealing with mental health: from Bipolar, PTSD, ADHD, and more. I’m not an expert, but I have myriads of experience, and I hope sharing my story counts. ...

🚧 my first submission on mental health, and beyond. Proceed with caution! I should write more, don’t we always tell ourselves that? Today, I am waiting for my billings to be done at the hospital and chose to use this moment wisely. It’s been less than a month since I got my diagnosis, I am medicated and thriving, I think. So I want to walk you through my path of inconsistencies and medical drama. ...

I am a haphazard creature. Sometimes a creature of habit and sometimes I just want to break free and be let go. Habits, sometimes, might seem to tie me down in creating and rigidity. I do not do well with schedules, heck I spent most of my high school life asleep on my desk because the repetitiveness of it all was just numbing. Also, I used it as an escape. ...

the endless desire to fix everything or run away Whenever I face a challenge, I try my best to resolve the issue. It mainly stems from my desire to fix things. To ensure things are whole. And I am always able to fix things. I was always able to get solutions to everything. Until I could not. And the challenge was not some big project in the wild like fixing capitalism. ...

I really threw this page away, huh! In my defense…. I really hate being that person who’s always saying sorry always apologizing. I also hate being inconsistent…but consistency keeps slipping through my fingers. To be fair, I’ve never truly been consistent. Right now, I’m back to basics learning, re-learning, and trying to create again. And let me tell you: creating content is rough. So far, I’ve managed to put out three newsletters, I’m on video three in my fun demo series, but I haven’t posted a single blog here since February. Or March since I deleted the last blog. ...

showing up is a lot harder, a lot lot harder. TW: this post contains mentions of death and suicide. The endlessness of life, as in my previous article, is always constant. And newness, refresheness, comes as a result. Anyway, welcome to my new rant. I’m reading a new book, The Wedding People. And the premise is interesting. Phoebe booked a hotel room simply to die. It bring a lot of emotions to the surface. And, when she failed. When her mission collapsed because of her love of endings, she wanted to watch the wedding party that was happening downstairs. Her love of not wanting to leave anything unfinished. That’s when she truly began living. ...

my not so pointless, rant 😅 You remember those motivational speakers from back in the day? The ones who defined life for us and expected us to just get it? Well, I expect you not just to get but to relate to this opener: Life is a huge heap of laundry. It doesn’t stop. It doesn’t even pause. One day you’re washing, the next you’re folding, and before you know it another pile of dirty clothes is waiting for round two. The cycle never ends. ...

🛠 I have the workshop; you just need to try it out and tell me what you think! I recently converted my workshop from Azure AI to GitHub Models, and it will be globally used as introductory content for the Global AI Bootcamps all over the world in ~125 locations. One of the biggest advantages of using GitHub Models is it provides every GitHub user access to some leading models from Azure AI Model Catalog, allowing you to experiment, test and compare models before you get them to production. Another plus of using GitHub Models is you only need to create your personal token to get started and going - no complicated setup, no friction. Using GitHub Models is free until you hit the rate limits of the different models. ...

📶 and it’s basically the only Social media platform I use…. P.S. WhatsApp & Snapchat don’t count since they’re basically messaging apps, not social media. Before you come at me with pitchforks, hear me out. I did a social media audit, and let’s just say…it was bad. Really bad. So bad that I can’t even share the results publicly it’s that embarrassing. But the nature of my work requires me to be active on social media, because, well…my work can’t speak for itself. ...
