I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. I remember sneaking into the young adult section when I was in primary school so by the time I was in secondary school, my reading choices were much more advanced than the average 11 year old. 

​

Books were the first thing to teach me about emotion. Have you ever cried your eyes out whilst flickering through pages to find out what happens next? Have you ever laughed out loud in public because you're so engrossed by a story you forget where you are? Reading has moved me, been my relatable shoulder to lean on and a world to escape into. 

 I believe books are what inspired me to capture my thoughts in such a poetic way. 

​

I created the blog FiftyThousandThoughts one day when I was 15 after realising I have stacks of notebooks filled with random journals, thoughts and poems. Writing has always been a way to express myself as well as explore my imagination. Some of my writing is inspired by real life events and some are inspired from people I meet, conversations I have and even random Netflix shows - you'll never know. 

​

After many years of battles, I have developed a strong interest in mental health and overall wellbeing. On my blog, you will find parts of my journey and things I have learnt through trial and error. I hope that my own thoughts and experiences can help someone else one day.
