Tonight, I'm tired and exhausted. But I hope I can put all of today's troubles outside of my bedroom. No trouble comes with me in bed. I ran out of energy. I need sleep. And tons of money 😅. But first thing first. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. I'm tired, and I don't know what to do. … Continue reading Overload

Festival
Have you ever felt strangely calm right in the middle of a storm?It’s odd, isn’t it—how peace can slip in quietly, when you least expect it.Today, there’s a festival at my son’s school. They danced, put on cute themed costumes, they even did a musical drama! The children have been practicing for months, and watching … Continue reading Festival
Ordinariness
Today is an ordinary day. It begins like all the rest—waking up, cold shower, commute, hearty oat breakfast, work, at least look like working. Lunch break brings a walk with a friend.We talk.Well—gossip, if I’m being honest.Then back to our desks,until five o'clock,when my husband waits in the parking lot,like he always does. after work,I … Continue reading Ordinariness
Accumulation
I don't want to accumulate things anymore.Clothes? My wardrobe is proof enough—full beyond reason.Shoes? Three pairs for running, three for casual days, two for formality.Bags? More than I need. Enough is enough.This year, I am shedding.A quiet moratorium on shopping feels right.It aligns with the word I’ve chosen to guide me: peace. I feel lighter … Continue reading Accumulation
Morning
Have you practiced self-care this week? Lately, I’ve been leaning into movement—working out to stay grounded and writing to untangle my thoughts. Mornings have become my sanctuary. I light the day with intention, hoping—quietly, deeply—that today will be the one. The one where things click into place, where I can finally exhale the breath I’ve … Continue reading Morning

Luxury
Today, I feel luxurious.Luxury is the freedom to move my body without pain.To wake with ease and stretch beneath the soft light of morning.To savor a bowl of hot oats, then run ten steady kilometers—breath and earth in rhythm, every step a quiet victory.Luxury is a two-hour nap with no guilt, no rush.It is opening … Continue reading Luxury
A good place
It’s a quiet kind of wonderful—this moment when I realizeI’m in a good place in life.Funny, isn’t it, how easily we forget?How these momentstend to slip through the cracksof overthinking,lost in the dust of too many yesterdaysand the shadows of too many tomorrows.I worry.Too much.About things that no longer exist.About things that haven’t happened.And in … Continue reading A good place
Tough
Tough day..... I don't think I could make it today. But then ... Here I am... On my bed, cozy and clean. It's only a bad day, not a bad life.. so I tell myself. I hope I believe it if I repeat it many many times. Tomorrow I'll have a new day, a clean … Continue reading Tough
Progress
I like writing because through my writings over the years, I am actually able to see that I am progressing in many ways. When I typed running in my search tab, I found out that I started to write about running in mid 2021. I mentioned that I have a hard time picking proper running … Continue reading Progress
