Unveiling Secrets or Are You a Part of The Journey?
In my 20th post, I reflect on the journey that brought The Unfinished Times to life, sharing the behind-the-scenes process of how I balance procrastination with my love for writing. From the early days of brainstorming to the final touches on my music covers, I reveal the creative flow that keeps me going each week. I also delve into the heart of why I write—how journaling and music have helped me process my emotions, and how I hope my blog creates a space where others can feel seen and heard. Looking ahead, I’m excited to expand this blog into the Co-Collective, a community where we can collaborate, grow, and express ourselves together.

Do You Even Lift Bro or Are you Shy?
The biggest obstacle in my fitness journey wasn’t the weights or the workout—it was the way I saw myself. Once I changed my mindset, the rest followed.
Do You Think Outside the Box or Are You Sane?
