Hangul, much more than an alphabet
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is often cited as one of the most logical and accessible writing systems in the world. Yet few people know that it was not the result of a slow evolution over centuries, but rather the outcome of an enlightened political decision driven by a concern for social justice. Let’s look back…

A stage for what we can’t say
I’ve always been drawn to things that don’t fit. To spaces that are too loud, too soft, too strange. To people who don’t behave or who behave too much.To art that doesn’t apologize, that’s why I love cabaret.Not just a stage or a performance.But a way of being expressive, unapologetic, a little sideways.It’s theatre, but…

Through the Echoes of my Mind
As I’m trying to figure out what I will do with my life in 4 months, once my year of volunteering in VCS will be over, I find myself doing a lot of self-reflections. What am I supposed to do with my life? Why is life so confusing? What is my place in the world?…

Can music define your personality?
Do you like karaoke, singing in the shower, or anywhere you can? Do you play any instruments or write lyrics? What if the songs you listen to could define your personality? Everyone likes music: there are no exceptions. We all react to music in some way: singing, humming, or tapping our feet to the rhythm.…

The Globalization of Hearts
It’s well known that travelling from one country to another isn’t always easy; depending on the agreement between the two countries or current qualifications, some countries may require passports and visas from others. However, while this situation may create physical barriers, it demonstrates that emotional bonds cannot be affected by these barriers. Empathy and friendship…

Feeling excluded
No matter how much my appearance changed, or how old I was or how many friends I have gotten over the years, there is something me and my inner child can both agree on: we are both excluded. Being excluded as a child hurts badly once you realise you will never be part of those…

Dealing with climate emotions
“Well, we are all gonna die anyway”, this was an ironic sentence I said or at least thought sometimes when I was more involved in climate activism. It might sound very blunt and morbid, however, looking back I think it was a sentence to protect myself and not get fully consumed by the huge amount…

Shkretëtira me Fytyrë Njeriu
U bë kohë pa shkruar. Qëllimisht kam refuzuar Çdo valë frymëzimi. Kam heshtur, u jam fshehur Fletëve, stilolapsave, Tastierave dhe gjithçkaje Ku mund të shkruhet. S’kam dashur të zhytem Në ndjenja që s’dua t’i dua. Unë jam shumë e vogël Për ta përballuar këtë dallgë, Veshur në pikla kripe, Që përpin Tiranën E jo më…

The Human-Faced Desert
It’s been a while since I wrote. Deliberately I have refused Every wave of inspiration. I’ve been silent, hiding From papers, pens, Keyboards and everything, Where one can write on. I never wanted to dive Into feelings I didn’t want to want. I am far too small To withstand this wave, Dressed in beads of…
