A place to show my work
In the dim glow of the screen,
I tap the keys, a ghost unseen,
A portal to shadows, whispers of night,
Where words turn to poison, devouring light.
Haunting echoes chill the air,
Lost in a labyrinth, trapped in despair,
In this twilight realm, I cease to be free,
A captive to darkness, forever to flee.
Technology has essentially taken over my job. In the beginning, when I first started working, everything was done with physical books and printed materials. However, now everything is digital, whether on an iPad or a computer. We have become very reliant on the internet, and there are times when the system goes down, forcing us to revert back to using paper-based information.
Digital gateway,
Transmitting data through space,
Modem’s vital link.
Connecting far and wide,
Bridging worlds with each byte.

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
When I feel overwhelmed with work or personal life, I know it’s time to unplug. One of the activities that helps me unwind is drawing while listening to music. Engaging in these two activities simultaneously allows my mind to stop overthinking, providing me with a sense of peace for a while.
Additionally, I find peace in nature. During times when I need to unplug, I’ve taken trips to Joshua Tree, and the experience has been incredibly refreshing. If I can’t make it to Joshua Tree, I visit a local park, find a quiet bench, and simply observe the world around me.
Recognizing the importance of unplugging has been a learning process for me. Since realizing its significance, I’ve made a conscious effort to prioritize this practice in order to prevent feeling overwhelmed.
