I once heard the phrase, *“The obstacle is the way.”* At first, it sounded like a paradox—how can the very thing that blocks me also be the path forward? But slowly, I began to see the truth in it.Every dream comes with its own guardians at the gate, those obstacles that test how much we … Continue reading Obstacle

Challenge
I am joining this challenge on Strava to work out in 10 consecutive days. This is day 4 and I am still going strong! Let see... Cheers, Karin Sabrina.
Conversation
I have the conversation moment today! You see.. I'm the chatty one in this household, and my husband is taking the part of listening, seriously. So I like to have a good conversation with my husband ... But he doesn't always deliver. No.. it's an understatement, he rarely delivers! And this evening, out of the … Continue reading Conversation
Adapt
Life is pure comedy. Seriously... Life reminds you to be not too serious with anything at all. I found out that today, I, the holder of a master degree in linguistics, an avid reader, a diligent writer, a reflective person in general, today I am not only fluent in English but also in swearing!! 😂😂😂 … Continue reading Adapt
Sadhana.2

The spark. I exploded inside.But then life went on. I carried the anger with me, heavy in my chest, yet … Continue reading Sadhana.2

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
I’m learning to accept this part of him.His coping mechanism drives me nuts sometimes, but that’s because I expect him to be someone else. I compare myself with him — my way of fighting the storm against his way of waiting it out — and that’s not fair.He may not fight the storm the way … Continue reading Not my way
Sick leave
I’m taking a sick leave today. Just a common cold and a headache—not terrible, but honestly, who doesn’t need a rest day once in a while? So I stayed home, slept in, and asked my husband to brew me a cup of tea. Everyone in the house made their own breakfast this morning, except me. … Continue reading Sick leave
Letting go
Ownership
“Life is fleeting,” you whisper.“Yes,” I answer, “and that’s why you’re noticing the little things.”You glance at your son on the screen, solving equations or games.. whatever... It doesn't matter.Your husband laughs softly, feeding Elmo the sugar glider a pink marshmallow.A cup of tea breathes steam in front of you.“Debts still hover,” you sigh.“They do,” … Continue reading Ownership
