Right Now - May 2025

Here is what I'm doing now :

Reading daily to keep my mental curiosity sharp and to build a habit of good ol’ healthy skepticism. Not just reading to check a box, but actually thinking—taking in the ideas, asking questions, pushing back when something feels off or too easy.

Running and working out every morning before 9am. It’s not just about fitness—it’s about momentum, proving to myself that I can keep showing up even when I don’t feel like it. I’ve been consistent with this for 11 months now, and it’s become something like sacred ground for my day.

Staying off autopilot. That means fewer loops where my brain just scrolls or drifts. I'm being real honest with myself when the phone time creeps up or when I’m tired but not actually sleepy. I’ve been paying attention to how rest and sleep actually work for me, and letting myself do what makes sense—even if it’s not perfect.

Working full-time as a social worker. I show up, I do the work, and I try to bring peace and presence into a system that often forgets people are human. It’s not flashy, but I take it seriously.

Building Soul Popcorn slowly and intentionally. No pressure. Just presence. I want this blog to feel like breathing fresh air—not a carbon copy of someone else’s voice, not too polished, not trying to sell you on something before it’s even real. I want it to be genuine, even if it’s messy. A place for reflections, guides, creative side quests. For now, I’m letting it start here.
