I used to write whatever I used to overthink and couldn’t communicate. I used to write when I couldn’t find closure from people, to set myself free. One day I started sharing it as a post. I learned how much it helped others to feel heard and find strength through my words. It inspired me to write ever since I learned the worth of my words and what they are capable of. I’m grateful to those who found solace in my writing during difficult times and regained their faith in positivity.

8. Who’s your all-time favourite author? Which book of his/hers made you fall in love with them?
Jay Shetty! Absolutely admire his work. I loved his “think like a monk” very much. I appreciate how he teaches us to find our purpose through his words, and how to work on our monkey mind to think like a monk that gives us more space to think mindfully.
9. What is your evergreen tip to the writers out there?
I say this to myself and it turned my passion for writing into my purpose.
“Most of the time it takes one line (just one line) to fix someone’s heart or fix someone’s life. Those words are with you. Just let the words keep pouring out of your heart because you never know who needs to hear it.”

I live in what I write. So the hardest part for me was to write some really emotional stuff in this book to give life to those words.
11. Do you have another plot brewing?
Yes! I am currently working on my 3rd book. I’m super excited about it. I can tell that it’s worth the wait.
