Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

I am a visual editor here. In my free time I enjoy the vibrant worlds of art galleries, exhibitions, and soulful concerts. Yet, amidst life's hustle and bustle, I find solace in nature's embrace, cherishing tranquil moments with beloved friends. Deep within, I hold a dream close - to embark on a global journey in an RV, accompanied by my faithful canine companion. Together, we'll wander through diverse cultures, weaving precious memories under the starry night sky, fulfilling the wanderlust that stirs my soul.

Last time I was asked this, it was coming, for the second time in a short while, from one of my parents' friends, a man in his 60s, married, very catholic. We were at my younger sister's wedding and I was single. My answer was "I always pray our Lord and Saviour Jesus to send me a good husband". I was so evidently sarcastic that he shut up and never questioned me again.

There's a cheeky little book by Karen Salmansohn called "Even God is Single: (So Stop Giving Me a Hard Time) which gives comebacks and jokes for if you're ever asked the dreaded "Why aren't married yet?" question. My favorite -- the one that's stuck in my memory the longest -- is this: I'm looking for a soulmate, not a cellmate.

Ironically, when I actually was single no one asked why I was single but now I’m in a relationship, a handful of acquaintances have questioned why I haven’t found someone yet, presumably because they haven’t figured out I’m lesbian ( even though I’m very open about it) and assume my gf is a weirdly close best friend whom I act like a couple with because I can’t find a boyfriend to fill that role… *sigh*
