twisted truth.

Published by Zea

I saw a dog-and-bee game and installed it. At first, it was fun playing it, but it became a war game where I needed to build my castle, upgrade heroes and buildings, and research and gather resources every day, turning it from a simple game I thought was fun into a chore. I have to do it every day to upgrade the level of my castle, and to play the Dog and Bee. If I failed to upgrade all my resources, buildings, tech, and heroes, players from other unions can attack and zero me out by killing all of my soldiers.  I hate how advertisements work where I am fooled into downloading it and get stuck because I started enjoying the game, being competitive, and being friends with my unionmates.  I have met a lot of people from that game. We are from different countries, with different beliefs and cultures. Some are very friendly and talkative every day, and some are just quiet and do their dailies without interacting with anyone. Then there’s me, a …

least favorite

Have you experienced being left out or the least favorite in a group? I often experience it. The feeling of being unwanted, unloved, and not the favorite person makes me feel distant and alone. Sometimes I think I’m just sensitive and emotional.  But why do I have to feel those specific emotions? Why do I have to be in a group that doesn’t like to be with me?

So, as much as possible, I’m trying to slow down and understand those who thought from different angles. But reading different books or listening to advice from different experienced people taught me that the opinions of others about me shouldn’t …

Today is an important day for me. I will never forget this day and cherish it for the rest of my life! I started transitioning my career during the pandemic while managing my family business. I researched careers I could pursue while at home and upskilled by enrolling in online courses, joining a community, and participating in design challenges.  My dream is to work in tech. Work from home with my PC/laptop. Managing my time and ensuring that I can still do all my household chores to help my parents. Yes! I’m still living with my parents since they are not getting any younger, and I don’t want to be with them and ensure they are safe and sound. I’m so happy because it’s so fun and exciting that I was once working in a laboratory where I had to be physically present, wear sterile decontaminated suits, gloves, and a hairnet, and use disinfectant wherever I went.  At first, I was okay with it, and I enjoy my job. But shifting isn’t for me. My …
