Thinking in the Grey

Curious takes on culture, politics, and human behavior — from someone still unlearning certainty.

Welcome to Unboxed Thinking

This blog is a home for slow takes, evolving opinions, and honest curiosity.
Born from a background of rigid thinking, Unboxed Thinking is about exploring ideas beyond the binaries we grew up with — not as an expert, but as someone willing to ask better questions.

My Unboxing

For much of my life, I saw the world in black and white. Politics didn’t matter, culture was a distraction, and questioning the system was off-limits. I wasn’t taught to think critically — I was taught to be certain.

Now, I’m approaching the world with curiosity instead of judgment. Unboxed Thinking is where I process what I’m learning, reflect on what I never had the chance to explore, and write about the political, cultural, and human stories that shape our world. I’m not here to tell you what to believe — I’m here to think out loud and invite you along.
