“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.”

Here are some things I do just for fun!

Gaming came into my life at a hard time. I played competitive table tennis and loved the rush of competing, but after an accident, I couldn’t go back to it. Video games became where I put that energy instead. It started with my friends visiting me in hospital and bringing games so we could play together. Those visits kept my spirits up, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Over time, it became more than a hobby. It was a way to connect with people and get my competitive side back. Friends and strangers kept telling me I was funny and full of energy when I played, and that pushed me to start sharing it. So I began making short gaming videos in my spare time.
I’ve learned a lot from it, like video editing, making content, following social media trends, and working out what gets people to watch. I taught myself most of it on YouTube. Gaming started as a comfort, but now it’s something creative I’m proud of.
I also started streaming on Twitch, where I can chat with my community live and share more of my gaming. It’s turned into more than just playing. I love making a space where other people can join in on the fun.

I’ve always noticed the little things, like a plant growing through a crack in the pavement or someone lost in their own world. I love finding beauty in moments most people walk past. A friend got me to start posting my photos on VSCO, and I’ve kept going ever since. It’s how I hold on to the moments that would otherwise go unnoticed.

I’ve always been fascinated by how a few words can capture what someone is feeling. Even when I don’t know the person, their words often hit me hard. That’s what got me writing down my own thoughts and feelings, happy or sad, whenever I couldn’t find a way to say them out loud.
One day a friend started opening up to me about something personal. When I tried to relate, he shut it down and said, “You would never understand how I feel.” I wanted to show him that I did. So I pulled up something I’d written on my phone two years earlier and let him read it. It described exactly how he was feeling. He read it, and you could see the relief on his face. He realised he wasn’t alone, and that other people had been through something similar.
That made me see how much it matters to share these little snippets of writing, polished or not. They don’t have to be “good”. They just have to say something that might reach someone else. That’s when I knew I wanted to put my words out there, so other people know they aren’t alone in what they’re feeling.
