I don’t know what moment has changed me to be the person I am today. I think I wasn’t ready for the truth of life. I got stuck so many times that I became numb. In 2019 I cut my connection with everyone except my best friend. I did not spoke or texted anyone. I just wanted to alone and do me. I think I had a mental breakdown because I’m always listening and feeling bad for others that I just forgot myself, and that’s when I got lost. That’s a moment that changes. What I did was forgot about everyone in my life and just binged on eating and watching my favorite shows and focused on school. Also, I told myself that ever loved me will understand what I’m going through and respect my privacy. I don’t know what happened. I just woke up that day and told myself I have to focus on myself. My parents would ask me if there something wrong, but I didn’t say anything because everyone is going through something. I kept quiet, and even though my father would tell me,‘’ why you are so heartless and cold’’ I guess when you just feel numb and tired of keeping everything perfect, that’s what we become. Moments are the actions of something, but sometimes we don’t need effort; we need space and privacy. That’s a moment for me, and I have changed a lot, but with a new change, there are new habits.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
