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

A postcard for me
The rain I'm having a fully paid vacation, 2 nights in a nice hotel with my favorite humans. So I'll anchor myself with all this. I'm here now, I'm savoring it all. 1. Right now, I am safe. I am supported. I am allowed to rest.2. The worries of life can wait. This is my … Continue reading A postcard for me
Luxury
Today, I feel luxurious.Luxury is the freedom to move my body without pain.To wake with ease and stretch beneath the soft light of morning.To savor a bowl of hot oats, then run ten steady kilometers—breath and earth in rhythm, every step a quiet victory.Luxury is a two-hour nap with no guilt, no rush.It is opening … Continue reading Luxury
A good place
It’s a quiet kind of wonderful—this moment when I realizeI’m in a good place in life.Funny, isn’t it, how easily we forget?How these momentstend to slip through the cracksof overthinking,lost in the dust of too many yesterdaysand the shadows of too many tomorrows.I worry.Too much.About things that no longer exist.About things that haven’t happened.And in … Continue reading A good place
Tea, always.
A slow afternoon. It’s raining.A romantic drizzle, a cool breeze. It’s daydream-perfect. The mug can be refilled as many times as I like. I’m sitting on the porch. The neighborhood is quiet, prayers from the nearby mosques fill the wet air. There’s magic in the rain—or so I believe. I made a new friend today, … Continue reading Tea, always.
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
Logarithm
Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have these logarithms so that the content you see will be tailored to your preference, so the more you see one particular content, the similar content will be shown to you. I like the idea that the universe has a similar algorithm. Whatever we put our mind into, wherever we look, … Continue reading Logarithm
Andrea Hirata
So several weeks ago, I just finished a book by an Indonesian author, Andrea Hirata, I like his book a lot, his stories describe the life of average people, and on many occasions, the life of those who are considered "unfortunate" by today's standard. His background stories often depict Malay people who live in the … Continue reading Andrea Hirata
Fast & Slow
What do you notice about your thoughts when you try to slow down? In the running world, there's a quote like this: you have to know how to slow down to be able to speed up. It seems contradictory, but c'est la vie. Small steps but consistent will make you cover a farther distance than … Continue reading Fast & Slow
Un-busy
Interesting.... It's not easy to un-busy myself. I woke up this morning and was thinking: should I run or should I just do exercise at home or should I meditate? Or...should I get out of the room, make the hot water and have a hot cup of my fave black tea and sit quietly while … Continue reading Un-busy
