Journey of Curiosity
Sometimes the mind doesn’t need more focus, it needs less interference. This piece explores the quiet power of doing nothing, how letting thoughts wander, without control or judgment, can clear mental noise and create unexpected clarity. A reflection on slowness, inner balance, and the kind of presence that doesn’t need fixing, just space.
High-functioning autism is a paradox—struggling with emotions, social cues, and sensory overload while being “smart enough” to mask it. Many never realize they need help, believing their struggles are personal failures. Years pass in silent exhaustion, misread and misunderstood. But the truth is, they were never broken—just navigating a world that never showed them who they truly are. Understanding that is the first step to truly existing.
Love feels like this deep, mysterious thing, but your brain is actually running a complex process behind the scenes. From past memories to subconscious preferences, it’s constantly figuring out what (and who) you’re drawn to.

I used to get frustrated by the world’s chaos—people making the same mistakes, society’s expectations, and the noise that felt impossible to escape. But I’ve realized the noise isn’t something to block or fight. It’s part of life.

Life doesn’t promise anything…your job, your health, even your relationships. We hope things will work out, but hope can feel fragile, and not everyone is wired for it. Wonder, though, is different.

Wonder doesn’t rely on guarantees; it thrives in uncertainty and drives us to explore and grow, making it stronger and more real than hope.
I’ve spent years untangling my perfectionism, how it pushes me forward but also holds me back.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of ‘not good enough,’ this is for you.
