About Me — Laras (with a non-silent S)

Triggered a search party effort, was bullied by a famous person, and became an atheist at the age of 22 — When I was in kindergarten, I was brave. So brave that I decided to walk out of the school ground on my own after I couldn’t find my mother at the end of the day. There was a 4-hour search party effort. …

What Happened When I Sent That Job Application with Zero Qualification

From fashion to international relations — “What’s that?” I asked my coworker at the next desk. “Oh, it’s the cake from Mrs. S. Everyone gets a piece! Check yours on your desk.” He replied. I didn’t see anything but my own mess. I didn’t get one. I couldn’t believe it. One of the company owners I…
