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

Sunlight
Plenty of sunlight today in my town.. Sunlight is healing yes? And we have adapted well to receive all the goodness of sunlight. 😌😌. I remember growing up in a small village with also plenty of sunlight. From time to time when the heat is so severe, the asphalt road looks wavy. Why am I … Continue reading Sunlight
Pause
Always, in a joyful pause like this time, a cup of tea, a drizzle of rain at night, I see beauty in almost everything around me. Almost? Yea... Almost is good enough for me. This momentary pause is not erasing all my problems, but these tiny slices of time remind me that I can rest … Continue reading Pause
Aparigraha
I found my focus word for April. Aparigraha; In yoga philosophy, Aparigraha means non-attachment or non-possessiveness. It is one of the five Yamas (ethical foundations described by Sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras) that guide how we live in harmony with ourselves and the world. At its heart, Aparigraha encourages you to let go of excess, both physically and emotionally. It reminds us … Continue reading Aparigraha
Checking
So, I checked the post about the shopping moratorium this year. The idea that I adopted since 2025. Surprisingly not too many posts about this, while I'm actually thinking about it often. Okay, so what happened? Have I kept my streak up to this moment? Clothes, yes, I haven't bought any new clothes since January. … Continue reading Checking
Welcome March
A new month. And I'm practicing discernment from now on. No is a healthy word, and I say 'no' way too little. No to the office drama, no to shrinking myself just to make anyone else comfortable, no empty busyness - I need to do meaningful work otherwise I'm going to be dull. I'm practicing … Continue reading Welcome March

From one thing to another.And now .. I am making time to train my mind. By writing everyday.By meditate everydayI no longer accept shallow conversations. I no … Continue reading Training
Blind
Why did it take me so long to see this? I don’t know. Maybe the years of fighting, worrying, pushing, and carrying too much blinded me. But I see it now: there is life outside of all these difficulties.There is life outside the overwhelming debts.There is life outside the stagnant career path.There is life outside … Continue reading Blind

I spend so much energy polishing my live for the eyes of others. The heaviest part of filing a divorce paper isn’t the court process—it’s the whisper in my head: *what will people say about me?* As if people weren’t already wrestling with their own private storms.It’s not only about divorce. It’s in the little … Continue reading Authentic
