The weather is extremely hot today.. The city has been living in this kind of extreme weather for a week. I am not functioning really well under this heat; sour mood, tired constantly, easily irritated, and hard to concentrate. I drink plenty of water, I stay away from the news- nothing new really, everyone is … Continue reading The heat

Friends
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
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
Rewrite
For most of my life, I carried a story about myself that wasn't kind. I was the "spoiled girl," the one who had it easier than others, the one who didn't quite measure up to the struggles that defined those around me. It wasn’t a name I gave myself—it was handed to me, woven into … Continue reading Rewrite
Let them
Life has a way of testing us when we least expect it. Lately, I’ve been carrying a weight heavier than I ever imagined—financial stress, the pressure of being the sole provider, and the uncertainty of when things will finally turn around. But beyond the struggle itself, there’s another burden I never anticipated: the voices of … Continue reading Let them
Reunion.2
Walking into that reunion, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Twenty-five years had passed since I last sat in that classroom, surrounded by friends who spoke a language I barely understood yet welcomed me anyway. Would they remember me? Had I left a mark? Why had I come at all? And yet, the moment I … Continue reading Reunion.2
