Needs

Wintering
Some days, I feel like I can take on the world—racing through to-do lists, making things happen, standing strong against every challenge. But then, there are days like these. Days when the weight of everything settles deep in my bones, when even the simplest tasks feel impossible. For the last three days, all I’ve wanted … Continue reading Wintering
Cycle
It's a hard day today. I'm on my period; heaviest flow, while the workload was crazy. I survived another day. Everything has its cycle, just like my period. It signals the need to pause, to rest. Pause, breathe, this too shall pass Karin Sabrina
