I was working one day when I experienced a severe chest pain that would subside if I held my breath.

I Lost My Hearing, But I Still Heard God’s Grace and Love

/
The year I turned 24, I became virtually deaf. I was talking to my family one night when I realised that I could only pick out two or three words in a sentence. The doctors diagnosed me with sensorineural hearing loss.

I Was Healed of an Incurable Disease

/
In 2018, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The doctor told me that there was no cure. Knowing that I had to live with this for the rest of my life became a burden.

Moving On From a Friendship Breakup

/
I’ve had my share of friendship “fades”, the kind of drifting apart that comes with growing up, moving away, getting married, having children. But I’ve never had a friendship “breakup”.

However, in the past year, I haven’t felt as busy or “productive” the way I have in other locations I’ve lived in. The extra downtime has prompted me to reflect on the years I’ve spent on this side of the world, which made me realise that I’ve been feeling weary for quite some time.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay: Whose Story Matters?

/
Like most people, I only started watching Netflix’s recent K-drama, “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”, to check out Kim Soo-hyun’s long-awaited comeback to K-dramaland. But as soon as the opening sequence began, I was completely sucked into the whimsical, Tim Burton-esque story of a beautiful girl trapped in a tower by herself because the world sees her as a “monster who brings along the shadow of death”.
