What am I really an authority on?

Not because I studied it in school or earned a title for it. But the kind of knowing that comes from living, feeling, showing up over and over again. The kind that grows with you.

And when I let myself really think about it… I realized it’s more than one thing. It’s not always what I studied, but it’s definitely what I’ve lived.

I’ve spent over a decade learning how to understand myself. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and OCD, and back then I honestly didn’t know how I’d get through it. I tried medication. I went to a few therapy sessions. But what helped me the most — what truly held me — was writing. That became my way through.

I wrote during the hardest moments, when I didn’t even have the words yet. I wrote when my thoughts were too loud, and when I needed to remind myself that I could still keep going. And over time, my quotes, poetry, and little reminders became something more. They became tools. Anchors. Messages that helped others, too.

So maybe I didn’t get a psychology degree. But I lived through the kind of healing that doesn’t come with a syllabus. I learned how to hold space for myself — and that has taught me how to hold space for others, too.

And then there’s writing — not the polished, academic kind, but the kind that spills from your soul when you need it most. Writing has always been my way of understanding, processing, and expressing. I don’t write for trends or likes. I write because it keeps me connected — to myself and to others. I think that counts for something.

There’s also the way I capture life. Whether I’m documenting a travel moment, a family memory, a fun food find, or a BTS-inspired adventure, I’ve always been drawn to the little details. I love stories. I love moments that feel simple but carry something meaningful — like a breeze that suddenly makes you pause. I try to create content that feels like that. Light, but lasting.

There’s also a more structured side to how I create — something not everyone sees right away. I have a degree in IT, and while that’s not what most people expect from someone who writes poetry and shares gentle reminders, it actually plays a big role in my creativity.

That background helps me think through how things fit together — from layout to flow, from visuals to how a message is presented. It’s what allows me to design my own content, edit photos and videos, manage websites, and bring my ideas to life in a way that feels thoughtful and intentional.

Sometimes I still catch myself downplaying those skills — wondering if they really “count” because I’ve learned so much of it on my own. But the truth is, my creativity is rooted in both feeling and function. And I’ve come to appreciate that balance — the way my technical side supports the softer, more expressive parts of me.

I don’t show up online because I want to be famous. I show up because I want to be real. I care more about connection than numbers. I create because something in me needs to — and because I hope my work helps someone else feel seen, understood, or just a little less alone.

So what am I an authority on?

On healing through experience. On writing from the soul. On finding stories in everyday life. On creating with intention. On staying gentle without losing my strength. On honoring both what I feel and what I know. On showing up gently, even when the world feels loud.

That might not fit into any neat category.
But it’s authentically mine — and for now, that feels just right.
