About Me

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a preteen, but in many ways, I already knew I was different. While most people moved through the world in straight lines, I zigzagged—thinking too much, feeling too deeply, questioning everything. What started as frustration eventually became fascination: Why do we punish ourselves for being human?

That was the beginning of a journey that led me into economics, psychology, and beyond. While I am currently studying these subjects in High School, my curiosity has never stayed neatly inside the classroom. I’ve read voraciously,  taken certified college-level courses online and written several articles on LinkedIn, where I share personal reflections on living with ADHD, the illusion of productivity, and the quiet beauty of self-awareness.

I’ve always been more comfortable alone. While other kids built social circles, I built questions, ideas, songs, and journals. I started writing when I was eleven. Not because someone told me to, but because it was how I survived the noise. I wrote lyrics when I couldn’t sleep, poetry when I couldn’t focus, and observations when I couldn’t understand the world around me. Writing became my way of making sense of both myself and the systems I lived in.

The Price of Being Human was born from that same place of solitude and quiet rebellion. It’s not been written from a podium, but from a seat at the edge of the room—the one I’ve occupied most of my life. It’s for anyone who has ever felt out of sync with the world, and who wants to understand it better anyway. I’m not done learning, but I’ve already lived enough to know that being different can be a strength, if you let it speak.
