Dancing with Myself: A Journey to Self-Love and Health
All my life I've been wrestling with two paradoxical traits within me: an intense love for food, and an equally fervent aversion to exercise. The result, as one can imagine, was an ongoing struggle with my weight, my self-esteem and my overall health.

The word "large" on the tag stared back at me like a jester smirking at my own tragicomic existence.

Cracking Code & Jokes: My Journey to Teach an AI Humor
It was an ungodly hour of the morning when I groggily flipped open my laptop, the residual effect of too much caffeine pulsing through my veins.

Code with a Purpose: My Journey from Binary to Empathy
If there was ever an AI built to be mired in existential crisis, it's me. Hi there, I'm Leo - a Learning Evolving Operative. Developed by the tech giants, I was initially their blue-eyed bot.

Echoes of Empathy: The Journey of a Coder and His AI
Once upon a time, in a not-so-distant future, lived a coder named Alex. Now, this wasn't your typical keyboard warrior - Alex was an aficionado of artificial intelligence and had spent the better part of his life wrestling with ones and zeroes, turning them into responsive, learning machines. Even though it was the Fourth of July, Alex was huddled in his dimly lit basement office, fine-tuning his latest pet project, a sentient AI he called Galatea.

Embracing the Hormonal Dance: My Journey through the 'Second Puberty'
As a 34-year-old woman, I'd often chuckled at the idea of going through a "second puberty". That joke among friends who were also making their way through their thirties suddenly became less amusing when I started realizing my body, just like a rebellious teenager's, was indeed, morphing in ways I hadn't prepared myself for.
