  Life can sometimes feel like a maze because it can be unpredictable and full of twists and turns. We may encounter unexpected challenges and obstacles that require us to navigate and make choices to move forward. Like a maze, life can also offer multiple paths or options, and the choices we make can impact the direction of our journey. However, unlike a maze, life is not always solvable, nor is it always clear what the right path or choice is. We must accept that sometimes, we will make mistakes, take wrong turns, or encounter dead ends, but we can always learn and grow from those experiences. Furthermore, life is not just about reaching the end goal, but also about enjoying the journey and learning along the way. It's about the connections we make, the experiences we have, and the memories we create. In summary, life can be compared to a maze in some ways, but it's also much more complex and nuanced than that. It's a journey that we navigate with choices, challenges, and

I have composed numerous songs up to this point, maybe around 30-35, and I enjoy putting my true emotions into them since they express things, I was unable to verbalize.

I'm here to share various paths to self-discovery, whether it be through music, spirituality, visual arts, photography, videography, or food. Each of you should strive to be your best selves and develop as individuals. "If we believe in ourselves, everyone of us has the ability to shine from within". The exact definition of a silver lining is "a ray of hope," and I firmly think that this is true in every situation, no matter how dire.
