An Addictive and Extremely Humourous 90's Sitcom: Mike and Angelo
Since I was a pre-teen, my interest in older sitcoms from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s compromised the majority of my television pursuits! By watching the older sitcoms, as opposed to the more common television shows that kids my age watched, I felt a sense of uniqueness. To make me feel more like myself, I believed that I didn’t have to feel normal or live in the “present day” to watch shows like American Idol, Hannah Montana, Shake it Up or Wizards of Waverley Place. Television gave me an opportunity to embrace being myself and pursuing whatever I desired, despite the generation I was currently living it at the time!

Dr. Phil: The Talk Show That Makes Me Feel Multiple Emotions At Once
For all you Dr. Phil lovers out there, I'm sure you can have some degree of relatability for my love and 5-year obsession with the Dr.Phil show! After watching a crazy episode from The Dr. Phil House: Brat Camp released in 2008 and another episode of a young, skinny, attractive, blonde troubled-teen girl from Detroit, Michigan in 2015, I felt the urge to watch more episodes of Dr. Phil, which led to an addiction in the winter of 2016. Since I was experiencing mental health and addiction issues of my own during that time, I believed that watching a collection of Dr. Phil episodes on YouTube every night would give me the chance to seek validation from the other people on the show. I felt alone, so I wanted to see other people struggle with the same issues I was struggling with, to get me to realize that I wasn't "alone".

My Dream Destination: The Republic of Sakha, Russia
Doroobo! Since I was a teenager, my dream was to visit my top favourite Russian republics: the republic of Sakha was one of them. As I began to make progress in my Russian language skills, I started to delve deep into the authentic Russian culture, as well as some of the different ethnic groups that reside in Russia. Asides from the Sakha people of far eastern Siberia, a few ethnic groups that live in Russia are the Ingush, Chechens, Nogai, Kalmyks and the Dagestanis of the North Caucasus.

The Pink Cave
Home is my safe haven, even if I am the type of person that loves being out and about. Since my apartment is massive, there are a couple of places that I consider my “cozy corners”. My bedroom would have to be my “favourite and most used” cozy corner, because of my bed, cute decorations, sapphire blue curtains, computer, walk-in closet and miniature library.

2021: The Year of Maturation and Fulfillment
Tell me about it! It's been a challenging year for all of us, including someone who struggles with mental health issues and Autism like myself. Although our experiences and thoughts about the pandemic have been different, it didn't liberate us from the raw emotions that we felt internally.

My Stay Home and Tune Out Playlist
Hello my friends! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your families and are still managing to get through this tough time! To cheer all of you up, I have many songs that I enjoyed, listened to and randomly discovered that were released in 2020 and I would love to share them with you. Music was my primary source of survival, in addition to books, puzzles, fitness, people, therapy, and other things that gave me a sense of purpose, fulfillment and wellbeing. Many of the songs I listened to were in English, Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, but I also listened to quite a few in other languages such as Turkish. The genres that were on my Stay at Home and Tune Out playlist included classic rock, indie, EDM, D and B, Jpop, Mandopop, world, spiritual/new age and hip-hop. I even managed to make my own music using Groovepad, because I felt this was an awesome chance for me to branch out into other creative hobbies like creating instrumental music.
