so far, so young

I graduated from college at 19. I think roughly a month after the ceremony, I immediately went to Dubai - a foreign land I pretty much know nothing of aside from its prominence of luxury, gold, and oil. My sisters are here so even years before I graduated, my fate has been sealed to this …

Every time another year starts, everyone has this “new year, new me” hype going on. People become optimistic to the idea of having a ‘fresh start’ once January 1 hits their calendar. Big smiles on your family’s faces, year-end posts from your friends on social media, resolutions written on your notebook – these are just …
