Living in Dualities

I study medicine because I'm genuinely curious about how bodies fail and how they fix themselves, and I'm madly curious about neuroscience and it fascinates me in ways I can't fully explain.

I design because bad interfaces physically bother me. I code at 3 a.m. because an idea won't let me sleep until it exists.

Sometimes all three happen in one week. Sometimes in one day, which is chaotic but honestly feels right.

I'm not trying to be a polymath or whatever. My brain just works this way and I've stopped fighting it.

Medicine and design.
Logic and emotion.
Science and storytelling.

I carry all of it at once, often chaotically, but always intentionally.

Chapter I

Who I Am

Deeply Introspective

I overthink, overwrite, and overfeel. I hide emotional depth under humor and competence.

Memories Matter

I carry memories like treasures: movie tickets, sentences someone said once, moments that shaped me.

Intentionality

I value sincerity and the little things. Consistency means more to me than grand gestures.

Friendship means the world to me, especially my closest people - a select few who've shaped my emotional landscape. I'm quietly loyal to the people I care about, and if you're in that inner circle, you don't know the ends to which I'll go for you. But there aren't many who are.

"I work obsessively. I learn till 4 a.m. without noticing."

Chapter II

What I Do

Medicine

A medical student trying to understand how the body works and why the mind does what it does. Curious about physiology, fascinated by psychology, constantly wondering about the space between the two.

Design & Building

Design is second nature. I create branding and identities with emotional meaning, not just aesthetics. I build platforms, dashboards, systems, often alone, out of obsession more than obligation. Multiple iOS apps built because the ideas wouldn't shut up until I coded them.

I'm a perfectionist with chaotic tendencies, easily overwhelmed but always pulling through. I love clean, intentional design and think in systems, visuals, metaphors, and timelines.

Chapter III

What I Create

Semolika

A massive fantasy universe filled with psychological undertones, ancient-futuristic worlds, and slow-reveal mysteries. Where I build entire civilizations in my head.

unsaid.

Personal essays that feel like 2 a.m. thoughts spilled carefully at 8 a.m. Reflections on friendship, longing, and memories that matter.

This blog is a home for everything I never said out loud. Design philosophies, medical school chaos, tech diaries, fiction fragments, and chapters of life that feel too small for Instagram and too deep for WhatsApp.

escaping reality

i escape this world to roam middle-earth, ride dragons in alagaësia, battle mythical creatures with nicolas flamel, hunt horcruxes, plot with kelsier against the lord ruler, and more.

fantasy novels are my second home. epic adventures over real-world chaos. magic systems, intricate plots, and worlds that feel more real than reality.

Chapter IV

The Weird Specifics

(The things that make me, me)

Promises

Watches entire anime seasons just to keep a promise to a friend

Treasures

Keeps sentimental objects: notes, movie tickets, tiny memories

Aesthetics

Soft spot for rain, nighttime, and long quiet walks. Loves terracotta, brown, warm vibes

Chaos

Most responsible and most emotionally cluttered person at the same time

Fusion

Writes fantasy lore in the same document as medical physiology

Mine

Likes things that feel 'mine', especially logos, names, and projects. Gets attached to people more than admitted

I'm someone who listens more than I speak, especially to certain people. I have a very internal way of experiencing the world, and I carry unspoken affection quietly.

"A place where someone reads and thinks,
oh… I feel this too."

Something timeless enough that future me can look backand trace the arc of who I was becoming.

Thanks for being here.

I hope you find something that resonates.
