This recipe for lemonade is simple and much desired during the hot summer season! There’s no summer in Singapore because it’s hot on most days, so this drink will be a saviour at anytime of the day, on any day of the week. You’ll definitely ask for more once you finish a glass of lemonade so make sure to make more of it!
In my last post about this topic on misophonia, I took a very big leap of faith and “came out” to the world about my relationship with misophonia. Opening up about a condition like this isn’t easy, but taking that mask off felt like a necessary first step toward figuring out how to live with it.

More than just following a trend, I wanted to understand the internal mental landscape of someone living with suicidal thoughts—especially someone brave enough to lay those thoughts bare for the world to see. I wanted to understand the why and the how behind those psychological needs.
