Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?

Your ‘definitions’ are not limited or static or even situational. I thought I was shaped by my surroundings for a long time and it never really bothered me as such till the day I knew I had more questions than answers, I started seeing things differently and realized how different I was from the people I grew up with. The outsides looked similar but the insides felt different. And the asynchrony of my thoughts and actions and feelings, everything was messing with my head.

Your surroundings certainly play a major role. However, how you respond and what you choose to take from the experience defines who you are and that is constantly evolving.

So to answer your question I would say that it can shape you, but the power to be defined differently is totally yours.

What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?

How do you handle fear and self-doubt?

My voice shakes and my hands tremble and as I move, my feet wobble. For the most part, I end up embarrassing myself, but  I still end up doing what I have to. Because I think I’m addicted to prove myself wrong.

What’s a moment that made you question reality?

The moment I realised “We are living so we could die.”

We come, we learn to survive then we struggle half of our lives to built a life we want to live and if we’re lucky we do end up living our dreams but by now it is times up. But the catch is the last part being the “main character”can show up as it wishes. In real the reality is a ‘no answer’ question and it’s fucked up.

I guess we toil and we turmoil not for a better life but for a better death.

What’s a moment that made you realize you were stronger than you thought?

I mean I’m alive.

What’s a simple pleasure in life that brings you joy?

If you could erase one movie from your memory and watch it again for the first time, which one would it be?
