The Adventure of Being Me
I cooked pesto spaghetti for the first time yesterday! Well… not really cooking from scratch, as the pesto sauce was actually sent by one of my best friends Maria. She grew the basil and made homemade pesto from it. All I did was boil the spaghetti and mix it up (lol). Oh, it was so…

The BIG Questions Card Decks
We so often find ourselves trapped in shallow small talk. Questions like, “What have you been up to?” or “How are you?” are frequently met with a polite smile and a rehearsed answer. But to truly navigate life’s challenges with grace and create something extraordinary, we need conversations that go far beyond surface-level chatter.

JOMO – Joy of Missing Out
I don’t have social media apps on my phone. No Instagram, no Facebook, no LinkedIn. Whenever I tell people this, many are surprised. Like, “How do you get information or updates from friends?

How To Navigate Transitions
I haven’t really shared this loudly, but the past seven months have actually been quite a journey for me. After my dad passed away seven months ago, my relationship ended (the one I thought was “the one”), and I had to navigate a sudden financial struggle after some unexpected expenses at the start of the…

The Alfamart Reset
I’m sitting back at my new working spot today (will tell you all about it later!), reflecting on a little shift I had last week that completely turned my mood around. That day, I was feeling kind of stuck. To distract myself, I started playing games on my phone. And even though I love the…

Pernah nggak sih, kamu bangun di pagi hari, melihat cermin, dan tiba-tiba tertegun dengan satu pertanyaan pendek: “Apakah hidup yang sedang saya jalani sekarang benar-benar pilihan saya, atau cuma sekadar mengikuti arus?” Let me ask you honestly.. Apakah hari-harimu belakangan ini terasa seperti berjalan dalam mode…
