Author bio

An overthinker, a perfectionist, and a coffee and tea drinker. Fascinated by the mythology of different cultures, movies, and almost anything related to fantasy. Usually busy with work, study, extracurricular activity, or a hobby. Curious about observing human behavior. I used to write stories and poems as a hobby since I was 12. Now I am trying something new, which is writing in English and practicing those writing muscles in this language. Any feedback or advice on writing is more than welcome! (PS. During this period I am juggling my master's thesis, an internship, and a full-time job, while still recovering from my last burnout. Reading and writing help me escape and recharge, but I might not get to write every week)
