For me running is like a coping mechanism. I choose running simply because you don't need any pre-course to do it. Just a pair of running shoes and a track, off you go. Coping mechanism? So... You're stressed out and then you run? Basically... Yes that's what I did. I started to mention running in … Continue reading Progress

Not my way

Happiness is not about what I have lost or gained—it is about being grateful, even in small ways. Pain … Continue reading Prayers

So I decided to make the 19th of November 2022 as my initial running journey. I think it's … Continue reading Running-versary

I never liked spicy food, but here I am, eating from the same pot life keeps stirringfor meSome people dream of building their own empire.Some love to orbit the powerful, willing to sacrifice parts of themselves just … Continue reading My quiet empire

I am supported. I am allowed to rest.2. The worries of life can wait. This is my … Continue reading A postcard for me
