About Me

I feel like I am living two lives right now like a superhero.

Hi, welcome to Pressure Shock, a blog about my personal life, as well as my passions. It is crazy how this all started after I got fired and became unemployed. While I was trying to search and apply for jobs, I got the idea of sharing my voice with others through multiple posts in different topics such as my career, Marvel content, mental health, and more. Since then, I started my new job, but I will continue to publish content when I am not working (referring back to the first sentence above). For now, this blog is considered a hobby but who knows?! Maybe this might turn into a job opportunity someday.

And if you are wondering, I swear I am an actual person. I decided to not show my real face for personal reasons, but you can call me Lyss Ku.

About this Blog

If you thought this was a science website, then this isn't the blog you are looking for.

While I was coming up with a list of names for the blog, I was feeling the PRESSURE of choosing the perfect name that fits the entire idea of it. Then, I was thinking of the song by Queen and David Bowie, "Under Pressure." The lyrics, "pressure, pushin' down on me" perfectly describes me going through my struggles in the past and present. Whenever I encounter a setback or challenge, I feel the pressure coming on in my mind thinking about so many things like how to please people, if I am ever going to survive, etc. Along the way comes anxiety and stress which negatively impacts my mental health. I am sure there are other people out there who have been through/going through some of the similar situations I talk about in my blog. Hence, the first part of the title.

For the second part of the title, SHOCK, I was actually inspired by part of the title from a SpongeBob Squarepants episode called "Culture Shock" where several of the characters perform at a talent show. That describes the other side of my blog where I share my interests and what I enjoy. It can also describes the "pressure" building up in my life, but I "shock" everyone all of sudden, showing my unique side of life, and it can lead to creating something wonderful. Hence, the creation of this entire blog.

So when I combine the two together, I create a personal blog that shows both the serious and more enjoyable side of my life. Overall, I hope to make people inspired and happy through my blog posts because it makes me feel the same as well. We shouldn't have to spend our entire lives stressing and work until we are burnt out, we should strive to have an equal balance between life and work. And honestly, our mental health should always be the top priority next to our physical health.
