Dreamful
Now I get it, the saying goes: you can do anything but you can't do everything. Most of the time, I want to do everything, I want to be everything for everyone, no wonder I disappoint all the time. I used to have this many 'want(s)'; I want to be a good mother, I want … Continue reading Dreamful
Value
Do you know about the endowment effect? I just heard this term from a blogger/ YouTuber (?) named Gabe. So the endowment effect is happening when we put higher value to the things that we already own than to the things that we don't own. I like this idea, because I usually have the reverse … Continue reading Value
Guests
Rumi said, if this life is a guest house, we should treat each guest honorably ; even though they often come unexpectedly, uninvited -most of the time. Tonight I'm going to send invitations, for peace, for calm, hope and a chance. Please come to my life.... For the last two weeks I haven't been at … Continue reading Guests
Downgrade

No.. it's not like I am living in a beautiful wooden two storey house in a small village on an island called Samosir in the middle of lake Toba, and I wake up every day with a majestic view, fresh cool air and … Continue reading Home

I woke up, totally not interested in this new day, went to a doctor's clinic, went to work, said hi to everyone; yes, cheerfully!, but I'm dead inside. After work, I went to do some groceries, try to think about … Continue reading Faceless
Mindless
I never knew... Until just recently, a mindless state is not a bad state at all... I get used to the continuous streams of my own thought and I never knew that I could stop the stream, and it seems so normal. Don't overthink, don't sweat the small stuff... There are so many quotes about … Continue reading Mindless
Now
So, in the most absurd coincidence way, I currently read the Eckhart Tolle book, the power of now, and I can understand why this book is so famous. The coincidence is that I already bought this book in may 2023... Mind that... And it sat quietly in my book shelves, so neat, yeah, still wrapped … Continue reading Now

What’s something most people don’t know about you? Most people don't know anything about me. I think most people have a particular concept about me and they don't care whether it's true or not. I'm happy with that. I am very private, I like to keep things in my head. Cheers,Karin Sabrina
