Are you familiar with the sentimental feelings when you sit on the train and you look out through the train window? I've experienced that yesterday, everything seemed to move fast, while it's me who moved fast in reality. Nothing stays still in life, everything moves, changes, one moment you can see it, but another moment … Continue reading The Train

Runs
I'm clearly experimenting right now... Human related experiment but not at the scale or level of that lunatic Dr.Frankestain. I'm running for twenty days now. Seriously. On my laziest day I managed to run 3 km. Why do I do this? Curiosity perhaps... But for now I like the sense of accomplishment every time I … Continue reading Runs
Luminous Stillness
I am light, luminous, unburdened by the weight of past and future. Everything appears now washed in mesmerizing light. I see it all— even the unflattering rough parts once hidden in the dark. The light falls playfully on them, revealing their edges clearly. These rough places give the landscape its character. And I realize the … Continue reading Luminous Stillness
Flow
This month, I choose to flow.No more gripping so tightly, no more hoarding “just in case.” I’m learning to loosen my hands, to trust that life will bring what I need when the time is right. It isn’t easy—this unlearning—but I wont carry what’s too heavy anymore. I want to move through October like water: … Continue reading Flow

Authentic
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
Meek
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."That was the verse I received at my church confirmation, some thirty years ago.I didn’t choose it—it chose me. Or perhaps, it was handed to me by something I wasn’t yet mature enough to understand. I never liked the word meek.It sounded too quiet, too soft, … Continue reading Meek
Lupa
Ini Bukan Pabrik! Ini Sekolah. Bayangkan bekerja 40 jam setiap minggu, tanpa upah, tanpa uang lembur, dan tanpa hak cuti. Bagi orang dewasa, itu terdengar melelahkan—dan bisa langsung viral di media sosial sebagai pelanggaran hak tenaga kerja. Tapi inilah kenyataan yang dialami jutaan anak usia sekolah di Indonesia. Mereka datang pagi, pulang sore. Istirahat? Hanya … Continue reading Lupa
Boundaries
I am not responsible for someone else’s chaos.I am not a fixer, a shield, or a scapegoat.I offer help when it’s welcomed — and step back when it’s not.I can be kind without abandoning myself.I do not owe my energy to dysfunction.I do not make myself smaller for someone else’s control.I am allowed to say … Continue reading Boundaries
Jehangir
What Jehangir Told Me About the Lie of Laziness Simon Reeves of the BBC made me cry last night.No, not directly. He was simply sharing an update from one of his past documentaries. But it hit me in a way I didn't expect. The footage was actually from 2021, though I only stumbled upon the … Continue reading Jehangir
