Trapped in Myanmar: A Survival Story. Content Warning.
Two years ago, I found myself in a situation I never imagined: trapped in Myanmar, held captive by a group of scammers. It all started with what seemed like an innocent job offer, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. I was lured by the promise of a lucrative opportunity, only to discover that nothing was as it seemed. My passport was confiscated, and my movements were completely restricted. In the midst of this chaos, I witnessed the dark side of human trafficking and the schemes targeting innocent individuals. But this story isn’t just about what happened to me—it’s about resilience, hope, and the strength of the human spirit. Despite the fear and isolation, I never gave up. I carefully planned my escape, gathered my courage, and waited for the right moment to break free. Today, I share my story to raise awareness about these scams and to warn others. If you’ve ever received a suspicious job offer or know someone who might be at risk, take this as a reminder: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Let my story serve as a warning—and as proof that we all have the power to overcome even the darkest moments.

Book Review: People Kill People. Content Warning.
Violence has increased all over the world over the last few years. Gangs having turf wars, school shootings, robberies and other kinds of shootings. We have had 9/11 when the Twin Towers fell. I was in second grade when that happened. I was in music class when they dismissed us earl to go home. Years later we had Sandy Hook, The Pulse Club and the Boston Marathon Bombing. I still remember the tale from my coworker from Target when she had walked out to her car to go home, she had heard the bombs go off. She had thought it was thunder. She found out later that the sounds she heard was the bombs going off. The Braintree Mall was dead for hours, and we couldn’t reach out to our loved ones as they had turned off cell service in case of another bomb.
