Once, when I was a kid, I wondered what happened after we turned off the TV. Where did the small people go? What did they do until morning, when they had to perform again? I was a kid—I said it. But now, the question is different: What do we do when the performances never stop? … Continue reading Revolt

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
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.

Wintering
Some days, I feel like I can take on the world—racing through to-do lists, making things happen, standing strong against every challenge. But then, there are days like these.

Emotions
Someday it's not easy to feel joy, to see things as they are and flip the negative thoughts. Today is that kind of day. And I am so angry at this moment. When I am angry like this it's not easy to remind myself to breathe, it's not easy to feel the inhale and exhale. … Continue reading Emotions
