Hello Psyches! Welcome! 

My name is Phyllis Lau and I'm just your average teenager. I was born and raised in Malaysia before moving to the United States in 2016. When we first moved, I had an extremely rough time. I missed Malaysia so much - my friends, family, and don't forget the food - that I remember secretly shedding many tears in bed.

Fast forward 5 years, and I'm now a 17 year old high schooler who hasn't done anything remarkably special, or accomplished much. I wanted to do something more with my life. I wanted to make a difference, even if it was something small. I felt as if I wasn't living up to my full potential. Up until now. A chanced encounter set me on the path of creating something unique, something personalized - my very own passion project! All those dreams of one day creating my own blog are now turning into reality. Can you believe it? With the push much needed, I'm finally here, excited to share my very own blog - written by a teenager for teenagers. 

Being a teenager, I'm no stranger to the ups and downs of teenhood. I myself struggle constantly to live a happy, and healthy lifestyle. All those talks I had with my mom - yes, say whatever you want about me, but having someone to talk to really does help. In fact, I found myself in a much better state of mind. I became increasingly interested in learning all about the human behavior and the way our minds work. I mean, I'm sure you agree with me too, seeming as you're reading this now. After much thought, I came up with "Sprout Psychology" - where I doodle about the little things in life. My mission is to bring some comfort to our every day struggles, while also letting you have fun learning about Psychology. With that being said, let us embark on this journey together! ​
