I have a standard relationship with coffee. I treat coffee drinks differently... I don't drink coffee in the morning, and in the afternoon if there are other choices on the menu, I ordered a non-coffee drink. So I tried something new today (this is my month where I try something new everyday š). This afternoon … Continue reading Coffee
a cup of tea
Pause
Always, in a joyful pause like this time, a cup of tea, a drizzle of rain at night, I see beauty in almost everything around me. Almost? Yea... Almost is good enough for me. This momentary pause is not erasing all my problems, but these tiny slices of time remind me that I can rest … Continue reading Pause
Hobbies
Do you know the feeling of doing something you genuinely enjoy, yet somewhere inside a little voice whispers, āThis wonāt lead you anywhereā¦ itās uselessā?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

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 kilometersābreath 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

Tea, always.
A slow afternoon. Itās raining.A romantic drizzle, a cool breeze. Itās daydream-perfect. The mug can be refilled as many times as I like. Iām sitting on the porch. The neighborhood is quiet, prayers from the nearby mosques fill the wet air. Thereās magic in the raināor so I believe. I made a new friend today, … Continue reading Tea, always.

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 beāI wrote some affirmations: My April is overflowing with miracles. I am happy. I am kind. I am wealthy. I turn dirt into gold.

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

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
