Intuition Is My Superpower
My life story in a few 60-second reads
It’s funny how writing with a pen name and a mask can create an image of the writer in a reader’s mind.
I’m flattered that some of you think I’m 20-something years old😉 but the truth is I never gave much thought to the nuances of life when I was in my 20s.
Did I purposely create this aura of mystery that seems to surround me?
Not at all. I just wanted my writing life to be separate from my other life.
However, the decision to not spill every little mundane detail of my life has certainly benefitted me as a writer.
In hindsight, would I change a thing?
Not at all.
My Life Story in 60 Second Reads
I am an empath. It is just who I am. My most successful articles on this platform have been about my experiences as an empath.
Who would have thought so many would connect with my stories and in turn be inspired to share their experiences as HSP’s and empaths?
It is amazing, indeed.
But you know what is truly amazing?
My life did a 180 when I stopped relying on the prowess of my academic qualifications and turned my focus toward discovering who I am.
Turning the focus inwards made me look at life from a whole new perspective. It made me embrace my empath side without the weight of ‘learnedness’ gleaned from classrooms to stifle it and unleash my intuition which has guided me thus far.
I am so glad I listened to my intuition and decided to write about my story through my houseplant, Cody, who refused to quit on life despite being unloved, abandoned, and uncared for.
In the same way, if someone were to ask me about my strategy as a writer— well my response is it is all intuition-based.
There is simply no other way to explain it. And it has never let me down — not once. It is only when I override my inner voice that things have gone wrong.
Another interesting thing I’ve noticed is that people are curious about where I’m from. I am constantly surprised by the assumptions people make about my ethnicity— European, Indian, Filipino, Latina, ‘half & half’ etc.
Does it really matter?
I am a human being. I’m someone who has lived chunks of her life in several different countries, imbibed their cultures, and speaks their languages fluently.
I am all of them.
But you, dear reader, you know me through my words and that is all that matters.
