Welcome!

Inspired by the concept of a digital garden , this site serves as an exploratory outlet for my thoughts. I view personal growth as fundamentally a process of reflection, and my goal for this space is to cultivate that growth by articulating what I read and learn.

I hope readers approach these entries not as fixed opinions but as evolving thoughts, a practice of learning in public. To stay authentic to that, I write freely versus being perfectly polished. When my opinions change or my knowledge deepens, I'll add updates accordingly.
