Welcome to my blog!

There's a new epidemic in town. It's not what you think. | I’ve noticed a cultural trend these past few years, in which Gen Z is becoming increasingly more obsessed with labels. When every feeling needs a self-diagnosis attached, we risk cheapening words that carry serious weight.

When I return to the private all-girls school that defined my adolescence, my breath comes in the shudder of a well-traveled machine. What I discovered in those four years wasn't education in any meaningful sense. It was indoctrination into a system that prepares us for life by nearly destroying our ability to live it.

Technology is no longer a tool but a lifestyle, and smartphone addiction is an epidemic. I miss the days when screen time felt like a luxury.

For years, I believed that attending an elite school meant seizing every opportunity, regardless of its mental toll. Burnout taught me that while education is a privilege, wellbeing is a necessity. Today, I'm talking about the dangers of hustle culture and the systemic changes necessary to dismantle it.
