When life hits pause, I press play on creativity

 Final exams have been canceled this week due to the current situation in the country. Honestly, I’ve become numb to most news lately. I always wished for a peaceful environment—one where I could fully focus on my academic and career growth, and my personal development… but unfortunately, that hasn't been the case.

I truly wanted to take my exams this week, so I could then study for the TOEFL with a clear mind. Maybe even sign up for a fitness class and start a new project to strengthen my portfolio without any stress. But it seems like the world hasn’t wanted a moment of silence for me at 25. Maybe it will—for the 27 or 28-year-old version of me.

Today, I decided to push through everything. I sat down and began designing my new game on paper. No matter what’s going on around me, the fact that I can still create something new excites me—and I’m genuinely grateful for that. As soon as I start developing the game, I’ll share the first screenshot with you.
