About Me — Tayyba
Everything You Might Want to Know About Me (Or Not)
Hello There,
My name is Tayyba. I am a twenty-something girl from a small Asian country, even though I do not feel a day older than eighteen. Whether spoken, written, or quietly reflected upon in the stillness of thoughts, words have always felt like my way of understanding and expressing the world. Before writing, debates were my thing. My love for writing started with journaling and ever since then, it has grown beyond untangling my thoughts on a paper. It has helped me connect with many amazing people, has become my bread and butter, and has allowed me to voice my thoughts.
By day, I work as a freelance copywriter. My love for copywriting and marketing grew out of my passion for writing in general. By night, I sleep, but in between the two, I am also a part-time Etsy seller. In my free time, I like to experiment with different side hustles, so over time I have gained a good understanding of business and entrepreneurship.
Since writing has always been a way for me to explore, learn, and connect, I believe that Medium and I are a great match. Medium represents everything I’m passionate about — a community of creators, thinkers, and dreamers from all over the world, sharing unique stories, diverse ideas, and experiences. To me, it’s the ideal space to voice my thoughts, share my journey, and reflect on the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’m excited to be part of a platform that values connection and creativity, where I can engage with like-minded individuals and continue to grow as a writer. I realize that growing on Medium will take time and patience, but I am excited to find my community here.
Here are some other things that you might find interesting about me:
- I have ADHD, and for a long time, I was ashamed to acknowledge it.
- I love watching videos and reading books about personal finance. My favorite book is “I’ll Teach You to Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi.
- I love cooking, and folding dumplings is my favorite stress reliever.
- I once tried hand-raising a chick, but I never had another pet after that.
- While I love writing, fiction never appealed to me. I tried writing a romance novel once but left it unfinished halfway through.
And that’s me in a nutshell. I’m just figuring it out as I go, and I’m happy to have you along for the ride. If you want to connect or just say hi, feel free to reach out! You can email me at: tayybawrites21@gmail.com.
