I just found out about this concept from Japan called *Ma*.It’s the space between things—the pause, the emptiness, the in-between.Like when you're on a train.You’ve left, but you haven’t arrived.Or when you’re walking that long, quiet road before a temple.The space between words isn’t meaningless.It’s what gives the sentence meaning in the first place.I think … Continue reading Space

Accumulation
I don't want to accumulate things anymore.Clothes? My wardrobe is proof enough—full beyond reason.Shoes? Three pairs for running, three for casual days, two for formality.Bags? More than I need. Enough is enough.This year, I am shedding.A quiet moratorium on shopping feels right.It aligns with the word I’ve chosen to guide me: peace. I feel lighter … Continue reading Accumulation
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
Progress
I like writing because through my writings over the years, I am actually able to see that I am progressing in many ways. When I typed running in my search tab, I found out that I started to write about running in mid 2021. I mentioned that I have a hard time picking proper running … Continue reading Progress

Loop
I realized that: A finish line is a starting point to move forward to another finish line which is a starting point... Can anyone tell me if this is a flying foot photo or not? Cheers, Karin Sabrina
Honesty
How Honest Am I With Myself? Interesting question—my way of saying, I don’t really know how to answer this one. Okay… let’s start with an easy one. Was I honest with myself today? No. Not really. I wasn’t honest when I nodded along, pretending to agree while a colleague gossiped about others in the office. … Continue reading Honesty
Rhythm
This morning, I ran without trying to drown out my own thoughts. I ran without music dictating my pace, I found myself settling into a natural rhythm, listening to the steady well not really steady of course... I was panting to be exact! -- of my own breath and the soft thuds of my feet … Continue reading Rhythm
Beauty
When I was very very young, probably 10 or 12, I used to want a flat stomach, low-rise jeans, and a cropped top. I grew up watching Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera music videos, where being skinny wasn’t just normal—it was the ultimate goal. And even though I’ve been slender most of my life, I … Continue reading Beauty
