About


This blog exists because I needed a place where I could tell the truth.

Not the Instagram truth.
Not the LinkedIn truth.
Not the “everything worked out perfectly” truth.

Just the real one.

My name is Aliza Akram, and this blog is a written record of how I’m rebuilding my life after graduation — slowly, chaotically, and intentionally.

Why I Started This Blog

After graduating with an LLB, I realized something uncomfortable:
no one really prepares you for what comes after.

The uncertainty.
The financial pressure.
The career confusion.
The identity shift.

Everyone around me seemed to have it figured out, and I didn’t. Writing became the only way I could process what was happening. This blog started as a private outlet and slowly turned into a public space because I know I’m not the only one living this phase quietly.

This is not a motivational blog.
It’s a documentation blog.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog covers real-life experiences, including:

  • Rebuilding life after graduation

  • Weight loss and food discipline

  • Learning how to save money and stop emotional spending

  • Career changes and job searching

  • Working toward stability in compliance

  • Journaling, planners, and systems that actually help

  • Cooking at home and building sustainable habits

  • Therapy-informed reflections and mental resets

Some posts will be structured.
Some will be messy.
All of them will be honest.

A Note on Weight Loss & Food

At the beginning of 2025, I weighed 92 kg.
By the end of the year, I was 73 kg.

But this blog is not about “before and afters.”
It’s about changing my relationship with food, discipline, and self-respect.

I write about:

  • Portion control

  • Outside food habits

  • Cooking realistically

  • Breaking binge cycles

  • Learning moderation without guilt

If you’re looking for extreme diets or fitness culture, this isn’t that space.

Career, Money & Reality

I’m pursuing a career in compliance, and I’m honest about how unstable early career life can feel.

You’ll read about:

  • Quitting jobs

  • Trying Fiverr and Upwork

  • Learning what work culture actually looks like

  • Saving money after being broke

  • Building income without pretending it’s easy

I don’t glorify hustle.
I prioritize stability.

Journals, Planners & Systems

I’ve spent years in therapy and personal development spaces, and along the way I built journaling systems that genuinely helped me function better.

This blog will sometimes link:

  • Journals

  • Planners

  • Notion systems

  • Digital tools I actually use

Nothing is pushed.
If something resonates, it’s there.

Trigger Warning

This blog discusses:

  • Mental health struggles

  • Career uncertainty

  • Weight loss

  • Financial stress

  • Identity shifts

Please read with care and skip anything that feels overwhelming.

What This Blog Is Not

This is not:

  • A perfectly curated lifestyle blog

  • A “how to get rich fast” platform

  • A productivity cult

  • A fake positivity space

This is a real person learning adulthood out loud.

If You’re Here

If you’re:

  • Lost after graduation

  • Rebuilding your habits

  • Trying to feel stable again

  • Learning discipline without punishment

  • Looking for honesty instead of aesthetics

You’re in the right place.

Final Words

This blog is episodic.
It grows as I grow.

I don’t promise perfection.
I promise presence.

Welcome to my tremendously chaotic life.
