This month I'll continue to nurture small circles of good friends. I am reminding myself that I always learn a lot from being humble. This month I rise up above the small talks, no more I wish to spend a minute talking about people... No I'm not sure how, because the culture of small talks … Continue reading Friends
Self reminder
May
This May, the focus word is "rise up". Above the struggles, above the weight I’ve been carrying. I am peace, so I attract peace. My life is abundant with blessings. Fortune flows to me. Each day brings its own miracle.Today, I heard something beautiful: *Whatever is meant for me is looking for me.* I believe … Continue reading May
Nature
Dear myself, We definitely need a staycation in nature. I'll wait for the schedule. And don't be so long to decide. Karin Sabrina
Again, courage.
Not afraid
I am no longer afraid to ask, to insist, when the answer is no. I am no longer afraid to be not perfect... because nothing does. I am no longer afraid of today and that's enough. Have a good sleep, Karin Sabrina

But now, the question is different: What do we do when the performances never stop? … Continue reading Revolt

You know, today... I write just to stop myself from scrolling.Insta-land. Meta-land. Scroll-ville. Whatever we’re calling it now.I’m trying to escape it, … Continue reading A monologue
Rebranding
Isn't it wonderful that we can think and create the world we want with our minds alone? I posted yesterday about how I want my April to be—I wrote some affirmations: My April is overflowing with miracles. I am happy. I am kind. I am wealthy. I turn dirt into gold. I liked that post … Continue reading Rebranding
Rewrite
For most of my life, I carried a story about myself that wasn't kind. I was the "spoiled girl," the one who had it easier than others, the one who didn't quite measure up to the struggles that defined those around me. It wasn’t a name I gave myself—it was handed to me, woven into … Continue reading Rewrite
