Sam’s Diaries

Solo traveling against the cultural norms

I wrote about this, so please give it a look: https://medium.com/me/stats/post/6e60eb28faa9 https://medium.com/me/stats/post/6e60eb28faa9 Now that my article’s finally out I can talk about it all on this podcast. As a brown/south Asian, growing up, I always had about this wild fantasy to live abroad, travel, speak other languages, and write about it all. But the reality I was born in was the polar opposite to my dreams that knew no limits. How shameless was my mind, to dare to go beyond what met the eye! I’ve been ridiculed for having all these dreams that are native, overly optimistic and unrealistic many times in my life. The idea was shot down several time by the culture I grew up in, people who hated my guts to think about doing something they didn’t have the courage for, and some times by the harsh reality of the world, the economy, politics at play. I’m convinced that I’m here not to live by the rules. I’m here to bend them. So I’m going to live my life unapologetically. Ruthlessly, chasing my wild dreams. Hope you enjoy this episode!

I have always danced to my own beat, and I come from a family of unconventional relationships so I am not the one to settle just because. In this episode, I talk about what an alternative life would look like in an ideal world if I don't meet the love of my life, a soulmate I can grow old with. There's no point settling down just for the sake of it. I may be in the wrong here but hey... I beg to differ!

Reintroducing the diaries: Redirecting this platform to talk about self-growth, spirituality, and writing.

Hey friends, It's been a minute. Since I last came here, a lot has happened. I've done some significant things, had some significant realizations, and have a newfound motivation and intention to use this platform. From here onwards, Sam's Diaries will not just be me coming here to rant and share a piece of my world; I plan to use this channel to talk about the things that really matter to me and things that inspire me personally. We'll continue to explore topics concerning spirituality, self-growth, writing, creativity, and travel. I hope you'll continue joining me and share this with your network, too.
