It’s been a hard few days. I’m looking forward to the weekend - when I pretend every day is the weekend. I miss my productive self. I don’t understand downtime. I don’t know what to do with myself when I’m not working. I hate how quickly I burn out. Ugh. Why is this so hard? I’ve been passing on opportunities that come my way. And at least once a week, I question myself. Am I doing the right thing? Leaving behind a successful career as a professional calligraphy artist to beg

Haven’t we all waited for the perfect day to do things? To maybe wear that pretty dress you bought, or start reading the book you picked up months ago, or simply begin something you’ve been putting off, waiting for the right time. I do this all the time. And then when the perfect time arrives, the thing

I’ve been thinking about this for the last two days. It started with a conversation with someone, then I went down one of my mental dark burrows and… well, here we are. When I was younger, around 2011, fresh out of college, I joined a small advertising agency as an intern (it’s no longer small!). I was desperate to get out of the house, away from my parents, and do something with my life. Academically, I was average at best. I was 19 then. But I knew one thing: I could learn

One question that I frequently encounter is, "Which engraver should I buy?" Having personally acquired and tested over 10-15 drills, and...

Welcome to my very first blog post! I have to admit, this is a big moment for me as I step into the world of blogging. I couldn't be more...
