Prosperous
How lucky I am that I can heal so much after the things that I thought were unbearable. How lucky I am that I now walk through the day with a brave soul within. How lucky I am that I no longer fit the frame that some people tried so hard to put me into. … Continue reading Prosperous
Package
I am extremely lucky! But let me tell you this, it's a very new way of thinking for me. I wasn't born thinking I was so blessed and privileged. No..

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

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
