I'm passionate about

I’m passionate about real estate and interior design. The whole field immensely fascinates me due to the art behind. There’s beauty, art and creativity embraced in the work. Some tell stories while some express the beauty and cultural diversity within the community. I’m passionate about art of any kind. It fascinates me.

An idea worth spreading

Most members of the gen-z are way too focused on validation and meeting social stereotypes and expeditions. Youth should be exposed quite early on things that are more productive and of greater importance rather than the number of followers or restaurants checked off the list. There’s a lot more to life that adds up on character development and career build up that youth can do for their betterment. Volunteering, workshops, self learning and many more. Most youth miss the opportunity go get to know themselves and explore different realms of activities due to the stereotypes and peer pressure. The flex nowdays is not about what book you’ve read or what achievements you’ve reached career wise or academically but more of how many bottles you’ve popped and what addictions you have. I think this diminishes productivity and creativity to go beyond and think outside the box. Youth have just been drowned in the pool of dependency and lack of creativity

The TED story

Sometimes we throw a rock in the ocean and we don’t know how deep it goes. This goes with a deeper meaning, we do things that directly impact people without taking time to consider how they would feel. I once was a 13-year old child who was overly ambitious, very confident and outgoing. At that time in life I felt like the main character and the world was definitely my oyster. I used to have a very high self esteem and nothing would shake it. I became a 15 year old. Still confident, strong attitude and high self esteem. I joined secondary and everything changed. In my class I used to be very exposed and intimidated my peers with the extensive knowledge I had. Little did I know I didn’t come off as cool but rather annoying. I later on became exposed to bullying which drastically bruised my self esteem and confidence became shattered. Ofcourse I had to act strong as if non of that affected me cause declaring failure was even worse. But the bullying still affects me to date. I’m still trying to boost my self esteem and confidence. I’ve learnt ways to hide and cover up my weaknesses while figuring how to conquer it
