Do you know the feeling of doing something you genuinely enjoy, yet somewhere inside a little voice whispers, “This won’t lead you anywhere… it’s useless”?And if, like me, you have an overly energetic monkey mind, that whisper eventually convinces you to stop doing the very thing that brings you joy.I like journaling, writing, reading, running, … Continue reading Hobbies
Equanimity
Equanimity. A big word — and a strange one too. But I choose this word to be my focus for this month. Equanimity: being calm in the eye of the storm. My theme for this year is Peace, and I think it fits perfectly with November. I’ve come to realize that peace is not the … Continue reading Equanimity
Healing
Healing is not a straight road. It is not a staircase where each step leads neatly to the next. It’s a forest path — winding, muddy, sometimes disappearing. Some days you’ll feel light pouring through the trees, and other days it will be all shadows. Both are part of the same journey. It is hard … Continue reading Healing
Bubble
I carved a space for myself today. A Daniel kahneman book (admittedly way too heavy for my life situation now 😅) and a caramel Macchiato. I sat there in this café, sipping my macchiato, and read without any intention to understand the cognitive dissonance explained by Mr. Kahneman 😂. I just let the words passed … Continue reading Bubble
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
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
Mistakes
Maybe... We are taught to dislike mistakes, because once we actually own our mistakes and consider that mistakes are a normal part of life, we are so... Free and unsatisfied with bland conversation. Am I making any sense? Of course. I own my mistakes, my life and strangely I feel strong .... Karin Sabrina
Window -weather
Today I remind myself: not all storms are meant to be entered. Some are only meant to be watched — like *gluggaveður*, beautiful and dramatic from the window, but harsh once you step outside.The office politics is that storm. Titles shuffled, projects hoarded, favors exchanged. I don’t have to play in it. I have my … Continue reading Window -weather

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
