What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing is a way for me to meet myself, it's also a way for me to make peace with what's lost, with unresolved disappointments, with un-conveyed apologies. I also discovered the multi layered of myself and celebrated the growth, the achievements and documented the happy moments through my … Continue reading Therapeutic

Success
On my way in the scrolling land, I found a great re-view about success. And from this day onward I'll count and write about my successes. I no longer believe 'success definition' made by some random motivators or celebrity - I'll ditch it and I'll use my own definition of success. I am a successful … Continue reading Success
Too much
Sometimes, there are too many stories to tell.. too much sadness to write, too much emotion. Because of this journaling, I can understand that my mind loves the 'too much'. Things inside my head gotta keep moving quickly... The monkey mind. You just have to change your mind, I said that to myself.. I don't … Continue reading Too much
Sixteen
Dear girl, you've grown up. Too soon for my liking. But I can't fight time, no one can. It's weird our life, yes? You came through me, beautifully perfect, musical prodigy, terrifyingly smart. But 8 years ago, I was not allowed to be your mother again. Dear girl, you've grown up. I forgive the past, … Continue reading Sixteen
Love day
We celebrate our day today. Not a fancy celebration, no dining out, no cakes, no presents, just a simple "happy love day darling", in the morning. On this day, some years ago, love chose us. We were full of scars from our previous relationships, still are .. and perhaps we will forever be in our … Continue reading Love day

Now I get it, the saying goes: you can do anything but you can't do everything. Most of the time, I want to do everything, I want to be everything for everyone, no wonder I disappoint all the time. I used to have this many 'want(s)'; I want to be a good mother, I want … Continue reading Dreamful
Curiosity
I'm having that "curiosity kill the cat" moment. I'm curious about something or someone but then I also know if I look up for them, I will re-open the old chapter, I will cause unnecessary pain upon my mind and my heart. My heart surely tells me that these toxic people are still ... Toxic … Continue reading Curiosity
Unapologetic
One day I was just so fed up with every negative thought in my own head, so I just said: I'm done okay... I'm done worrying about everything at any given time. I am not doing this anymore. So what if I have a lot of debts? So what if I failed my first marriage, … Continue reading Unapologetic
Today
Hello Ms Ashworth, You have no idea of who I am but I could confirm that you saved me many times... In a weird logarithmic way... Every time I felt the day was dark, your poem somehow found me, and when I read it, it seemed like you spoke to me directly about whatever problem … Continue reading Today
Room
Yep, I'm building a bigger room for me. A spacious room for forgiveness, I forgive myself for all the decisions that felt so utterly wrong. Of course I feel the grief, but that's because I'm human, and there's nothing wrong with being hurt and disappointed.. but I am no longer a victim of anyone's wrong … Continue reading Room
