About the Blog



If I could sum myself up in one sentence, it would be:
A Self-Improvement Addict Trying to Lose Her Sense of Self.
That’s me in 10 words!

Ever since I was young, I’ve always felt like there are two sides of me. Like two voices in my head forever quarrelling and constantly at war with each other.

One half of me endeavours only to be kind. This side of me is always trying to cleanse herself of toxic impurities and learn from her unheroic attempts at life. She’ll lend a listening ear anytime, will wear a smile like it’s her most treasured accessory, and her favourite word is never ‘Perfection’ but always ‘Improvement’.


Then there’s this darker side. The girl with a confused heart, a soul plagued with selfishness, and she has a magnetic attraction to temptation. She sails a shallow sea on superficial waves, forgetting to submerge herself deeper into life and explore what’s hidden below the surface.

My whole life has been a dialogue between these two voices; the Good trying to suppress the Dark. It feels unheroic to be defeated by the Dark, but if you listen to the Good, it will always find a way to lift you up and bring out the true hero in you.

Over the years, I’ve learnt to juggle the two voices. I’ve learnt to grow from my mistakes, listen to God, and turn my flaws into learning experiences. Believe me, I’m still learning and tinkering away at my insecurities and imperfections. 

But I am a Reflectionist at heart, and my desire to reflect on every trial and tribulation in my life has provided the platform upon which I could propel myself towards a path of self-improvement.



The secret to never failing is to learn. If you learn from your failures, then you can never really lose. You either win or you learn

This mindset has provided the impetus for me to embrace my downfalls and become addicted to the myriad of things that make up wellness – self-esteem, positivity, health, fitness, sleep, diet, study, sociability, and reflection.

I do not have a perfect life or an inspirational story. I simply don’t want you to succumb to defeat making the same mistakes I made. I want to share with you stories about how I draw motivation from the everyday ups and downs in life. 

I am riddled with imperfection and speckled with flaws but one day at a time, I want to improve myself whilst also losing touch with myself and focusing more on the life around me and the loving people like you! That’s what it means to be a self-improvement addict trying to lose her sense of self.

In this blog, I want to share with you the lessons I’ve learnt in life. I want to share with you the message that being Unheroic doesn’t have to mean boring and average. It can mean choosing the Good for others even if no-one notices, and that no matter how many times you think you’ve lost to the Dark, it is your admirable qualities and a fiery passion for self-improvement that will always make you a winner.


If you ever feel like you’re the underdog, or like you’re unheroic, uncertain and overwhelmed with life, I know how you feel! I’ve been there. Let’s be unheroic together!

Thank you so much for embarking on this journey with me!

Love, Young and Unheroic
