Unveiling My Unique Perspective: A Journey Through Words and Ideas

Hello, I'm Liz!

Welcome to my humble corner of the internet. My blog is a reflection of both my intellectual and personal journey.

I've always been fascinated by a wide range of topics—philosophy, romance, writing, music, films, the color spectrum, chivalrous courtship, quantum computing, and the ethical implications of AI. My insatiable thirst for knowledge comes from a deep curiosity, and with a racing mind and short attention span, I often juggle countless ideas, creations, questions, daydreams, and even entire story universes.

Beyond tech, I love diving into personal growth and creative expression. Here, you'll find a bit of everything: technical insights, personal reflections, occasional poems, creative musings, and a touch of randomness, too.

I hope you enjoy what I share, and thank you for taking the time to read it!

What makes this blog unique is the way I blend these diverse interests. I often surprise myself by finding connections between seemingly unrelated ideas—whether it's discovering philosophical meaning within STEM or using creativity to explore personal growth.

I'm often forgetful, but I'm grateful to have rediscovered my love for writing and to have recently picked up journaling as a new hobby. This is a place for learning, exploring, and reflecting on both the world around us and our inner selves.

I look forward to having meaningful conversations with you. Please know that I never intend to cause discomfort, and I apologize in advance if anything I write is unintentionally triggering.

Whether you're here for the tech, the philosophy, or just curious about my journey, I hope you find something that resonates—or at least satisfies a curious mind. Welcome! Stay tuned for posts that will range from deep technical dives to thoughtful reflections on life.Original Transcription

I want to share my unique perspective. More than just sweet words, or a genuine reflection that satisfies all the senses and enchants my mind with the aesthetics. Even a fleeting glimpse I catch, I cherish—the slightest meeting between my eyes and yours. I want to tell you you're beautiful, not in such a basic form, because, for me, it's something meaningful to distinguish an adjective I'm sure you've heard before from the essence I behold.

Edited Version

I want to share my unique perspective. More than just sweet words, a genuine reflection that satisfies all the senses and enriches my mind with the aesthetics. Even a fleeting glimpse I catch, I cherish. The slightest meeting between my eyes and yours—I won't tell you you're beautiful. No, not in such a basic form, because, for me, it's something meaningful to distinguish an adjective you've surely heard before from the essence I behold.

Haiku

Unique perspective,

More than an adjective, it’s

Beauty! I behold.

Personal Reflection

Writing this poem taught me how much I love expressing my emotions. When I feel free and able to do so, communication comes easily. My favorite part of this process was rediscovering little gems from myself, like finding self-love notes. In a way, I'm also manifesting my kindred spirit through these words.

It’s supposed to show how chaotic my mind works and how I struggle to write my ideas as they come. The edited version shows me going back to finish the idea. I love that it captures the essence of editing in writing. You can write something and always be able to edit it, and it’ll keep changing. "I'd love to hear from you!

Have you ever found unexpected insights in your writing?

How do you express your emotions through creativity?

Do you remember the first piece of writing you shared publicly? How did it feel?

Prayer of the Day

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart longing for Your peace. As I continue on this journey of cultivating inner tranquility, I ask for Your guidance and wisdom. Help me to embrace the stillness and quiet of your presence, and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Teach me to find solace in the scriptures and to lean on prayer as a source of strength and serenity.

May Your Spirit lead me to serve others with a compassionate heart, reflecting Your love and grace. As I journal my thoughts and reflections, let it be an exercise in deepening my relationship with You and understanding Your will for my life. Thank you for the peace that only You can provide. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

The Power of Self-Reflection: Unveiling the Benefits of Spending Time with Yourself

Daily writing promptWho do you spend the most time with?View all responses When pondering the question, “Who do you spend the most time with?” it’s easy to consider family members, friends, or colleagues. However, upon deeper reflection, I realized that the person I spend the most time with is myself. This may sound a bit unusual, but let me explain. I spend a significant portion of my time…

Thoughts and Reflections Journal #10 Describe your day in 3 words

Entertaining + Creative + Rainy

[christcharm2316]

Got some of my old journals out of storage.... ☺️✍🏼 | It is always so good to be able to read what God has done in your life literally from yourself. Most things wouldn’t probably make much sense to other people if they were to read them, but when I read these journals, it only reminds me of all His goodness. All the ways He has spoken to me in my own language, all the times He has answered my prayers, and the times when I didn’t understand and He told me to trust and then later I saw what was on the other side... | •• Never forget what He has done, because He is still working. Just like He answered then, He will answer again. Never stop trusting Him! •• #WritingIsLife #PersonalJournal #ThoughtsAndReflections #alonetime #journeyoflife https://www.instagram.com/p/BjZ1B5wD58ZC1UkYLq8M-aba00GFWaXRBZObCI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=624jhlhgacv2

you never know who you're inspiring

I experienced a rare first yesterday.

I was told by two adults over a random dinner that they were so pleased to be in the company of one of the brightest personalities they had ever met. 

Thing is, they were talking about me.

I never get praised about being social - ever. I don't think you understand how big of a deal that is to me. I have always considered myself quiet, and I have always been very self-conscious about not being a skilled conversationalist.

It's funny, even when I thanked them confusedly, I was trying to explain to them that they had gotten it all wrong: I'm the shy one! You just haven't gotten to know me yet.

The same thing happened a couple days earlier, when one of my friends confided in me. She said that I was inspiring to her. Again, I felt the need to correct her and bring up all my private insecurities about myself.

She considered what I said for a bit but then told me I was wrong - that I really was a great listener, I could always be counted on to accept whatever people tell me, and I cared a lot more than I thought I did. I wasn't doing this for recognition or reputation, that was innately who I was. I don't want to go into details but I was touched by her honesty and open praise, and the whole process made me reflect on myself.

I suppose all my life I have been very critical of my own actions. As I was growing up, my mom always made a habit of telling me what she thought of me - that I was very quiet and poised, that I was private and kept things to myself, that my head was always in the clouds, that I was complacent, that I was conventional and that I always went with the norm. Those ideas always stuck even when I began maturing and gaining confidence in myself to speak out.

Today, I know my parents make comments about how I'm very different from how they perceived me when I was younger but I guess I have never been able to shake off some of those negatives that I had always used to describe myself.

So it's surprising when people are seeing me in a different light than what I am used to. Maybe I don't know myself as well as I thought I did, or maybe that's just another side to me that I should get to know better.

The moral of the story is to never limit yourself because of your insecurities. Those definitions may have only existed in your head in the first place.

Saudades é o nome que eu daria para a minha vida. Sinto que houve uma fusão. Parece que essa sensação entranhou suas garras em mim e não deve querer mais me deixar, veja só, nem sei mais como era viver antes da presença dela. A cada instante sinto falta de algo, muitas vezes nem sei definir o que são, mas falta algo, talvez, algo dentro de mim. Pode ser que eu sinta falta do que era antes de ser apresentada a esse sentimento, ou falta dos que faziam parecer que ele não existia dentro de mim. Cada memória falha fica perfeitamente clara ao ver uma foto ou uma poesia qualquer... Difícil, meu bem, cada vez mais difícil conviver com essa saudades que me faz tão bem e tão mal ao mesmo tempo. Mas creio que terei de ser forte e me adaptar de uma vez a ela, pois ela, sem sombra de duvidas, já de apegou a mim. (rosesessence) and (thoughtsandreflections)

Thoughts and Reflections Journal #9 What was the last compliment you were given?

Claire, a friend of mine, told me I was looking gorgeous as always – as was she.

Claire is a wonderful woman and I love her dearly. Chanel had a quote explaining that fashion is not just in clothing but in architecture, and lifestyles etc. Claire gets this and we can talk about this for hours, it’s wonderful enriching conversation.

I wanted to share this as we should never be ashamed of kindness; the kindness we show or the kindness that is handed to us.

I find my strength in Christ alone... I remind myself that God has gotten me this far in life and has not failed me yet. #justsaying #ThoughtsAndReflections #traveldiary #journeyoflife #bucketlist #tbtuesdays

Thoughts and Reflections Journal #8 What was the last film you saw?

Zootopia – a kickass bunny reminding me, it matters not what society has called you but what does truly matter is who you are.  It matters not whether people see you as a predator, or not, we can be exactly who we want to be, and we can be friends with who we want to be.
