So today, I know myself a little bit deeper. I now understand my motivation, my deepest fear, and my tendency to yearn for something that is not mine yet and also forgetting those I already have. For this tendency, it's really surprising because I know I do that "yearning" the missing part all the time … Continue reading Deeper

Differ
Finally, I don't mind making her disappointed with me. Strange... But ... It's a big relief I'm here at this point right now. I navigate the world differently from her and I know she strongly disagrees with lots of my decisions. No .. I'm not blaming her anymore. And that's the point. I accept that … Continue reading Differ
Seed
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move." A reverend interpreted the mountain as the tons of problems we have, and by a tiny faith as big as mustar seed, we can move that mountain of problems out … Continue reading Seed
Ancient
I'm glad I feel deeply, I know I'm living my life fully.Sensitive, weak, too fragile they say.But now I have arrived to the point where I can say, sincerely, "let them".I'm glad I feel deeply. I'm honored to have this ancient power to read the space and people, to understand the unspoken. May you all … Continue reading Ancient
Alignment
My February focus word is "alignment". I'm aligning my life with the person I'm aspire to be. This is admittedly a very new concept for me though. I am aligning my schedule with my health priority now. I insist to work out every day. Running 3 km plus, or weight lifting for at least 15 … Continue reading Alignment

And haleluya for the greatest algorithm.. my social media feeds are full of their stories right now.. Inspired by them, this morning I wrote in my journal. This is my peace day… No one can take my … Continue reading Contentment

What a year huh... I have no idea how I can be here. Many days I felt like I have nothing left to just exist. But somehow I still get through. Up to this day I still shed many old layers... And I'm still growing. So some days ago I read a post (I forget … Continue reading Lights
Hobbies
Do you know the feeling of doing something you genuinely enjoy, yet somewhere inside a little voice whispers, “This won’t lead you anywhere… it’s useless”?And if, like me, you have an overly energetic monkey mind, that whisper eventually convinces you to stop doing the very thing that brings you joy.I like journaling, writing, reading, running, … Continue reading Hobbies
Equanimity
Equanimity. A big word — and a strange one too. But I choose this word to be my focus for this month. Equanimity: being calm in the eye of the storm. My theme for this year is Peace, and I think it fits perfectly with November. I’ve come to realize that peace is not the … Continue reading Equanimity
The missing lessons
I spent over a decade in school learning how to calculate the slope of a line…But no one ever taught me how to do my taxes. I memorized the periodic table…( with fear along with minuscule understanding about why it matters to know this table).And I had no clue how interest rates worked.Or that debt … Continue reading The missing lessons
