(Lights up. A lone figure, mid-thirties maybe, sits at a table, phone in hand. She sighs, puts the phone down, and starts talking—not to anyone in particular. Maybe to herself. Maybe to us.) You know, today... I write just to stop myself from scrolling.Insta-land. Meta-land. Scroll-ville. Whatever we’re calling it now.I’m trying to escape it, … Continue reading A monologue

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
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
Exhaustion
We never yell at each other, no matter how hard it gets. And tonight, we’re having a little celebration—not because things are easy, but because we’re still here. Still standing, still trying. The weight of our struggles sits between us like an unspoken guest at the table. "This being human is a guest house," Rumi … Continue reading Exhaustion
Trees
I watched a documentary about the Orang Rimba, a tribe in Indonesia whose very name, Rimba, means forest. True to their name, they live entirely within it, their lives woven inseparably with the trees. A newborn is given a guardian tree (Scyma sp.), while their placenta is buried beneath a Gonocaryum gracile tree—both of which … Continue reading Trees
The price
Lately, the news has been filled with stories that make it hard to believe in fairness. Corruption, greed, and injustice seem to dominate the headlines, and it’s frustrating to see those with more still wanting more, while others struggle with less. It's truly stunning how the super rich seem to care only about growing their … Continue reading The price
Alone
I never knew I would cherish this kind of time, being alone in a coffee shop, just me and my thoughts.. I was always planning to spend this quiet time without scrolling my phone but.. I often forgot to bring my hardcopy book, and to get back into the office just to take the book … Continue reading Alone
1000
The WordPress sent me this a couple of days ago. And I was genuinely surprised! 1000 posts, so many stories! What did I write? If I assume 1 story a day, it means 1000 posts equal with almost 3 years of writing. Wow! Am I changing? Hmm... I need to go back to the first … Continue reading 1000
Peace
I chose the word 'peace' for the year 2025. I want to make the word as the anchor for me to walk through 2025. Why the word peace? Hmm .. I don't know... The word kinda pops up in my mind, perhaps because that's what I need; inner peace. My initial word was 'Acceptance', but … Continue reading Peace
Therapeutic
What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing is a way for me to meet myself, it's also a way for me to make peace with what's lost, with unresolved disappointments, with un-conveyed apologies. I also discovered the multi layered of myself and celebrated the growth, the achievements and documented the happy moments through my … Continue reading Therapeutic
