I am lucky to have known so many friends in life... Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.Anais Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1

Revolt
Once, when I was a kid, I wondered what happened after we turned off the TV. Where did the small people go? What did they do until morning, when they had to perform again? I was a kid—I said it. But now, the question is different: What do we do when the performances never stop? … Continue reading Revolt
A monologue
(Lights up. A lone figure, mid-thirties maybe, sits at a table, phone in hand. She sighs, puts the phone down, and starts talking—not to anyone in particular. Maybe to herself. Maybe to us.) You know, today... I write just to stop myself from scrolling.Insta-land. Meta-land. Scroll-ville. Whatever we’re calling it now.I’m trying to escape it, … Continue reading A monologue
Loop
I realized that: A finish line is a starting point to move forward to another finish line which is a starting point... Can anyone tell me if this is a flying foot photo or not? Cheers, Karin Sabrina
Wintering.2
Write a love letter to your winter self—the version of you that withdraws, slows down, and rests. Dear wintering self, Take your time to rest—it’s okay, truly. You’ve been doing your part: working hard, showing up, day after day. You even make space to greet your dear friends with warmth. But today, you're home. You're … Continue reading Wintering.2
Family
It was one of those low-energy days—the kind where the bed feels like a warm cloud and adult responsibilities feel like a cruel joke. All I wanted to do was sleep and maybe sleep some more. But no, Fate (and my husband) had other plans. Today, we had to attend a visit—capital V, because this … Continue reading Family
Honesty
How Honest Am I With Myself? Interesting question—my way of saying, I don’t really know how to answer this one. Okay… let’s start with an easy one. Was I honest with myself today? No. Not really. I wasn’t honest when I nodded along, pretending to agree while a colleague gossiped about others in the office. … Continue reading Honesty
Stillness
"If you don’t like where you are, move!" they say. But the trees stand still, unbothered.They do not book tickets, pack bags, or rent new skins to impress their neighbors.They simply grow in the same soil, year after year. And do we admire the trees for staying? No.We glorify movement instead. In some cultures in … Continue reading Stillness
Rebranding
Isn't it wonderful that we can think and create the world we want with our minds alone? I posted yesterday about how I want my April to be—I wrote some affirmations: My April is overflowing with miracles. I am happy. I am kind. I am wealthy. I turn dirt into gold. I liked that post … Continue reading Rebranding
April
My focus word for this month is miracle—because that’s what I need: a miracle. I am leaving my excessive anxiety, regrets, and tightly held impostor syndrome in the keeping of March. I am stepping into April lighter, softer, and fully believing in miracles. This month, I invite miracles into my life. Perhaps they are already … Continue reading April
