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…

When Your Body Says “No”
I got really sick last week. The doctor said it was parainfluenza, and it completely knocked me down. For about four days, I was pretty much stuck in bed, mostly just Netflixing and playing games. The first two days were the hardest physically and mentally. And not just that, I felt powerless and useless. 😔 As much as…

For the last few months, I’ve had this huge desire to just be by the ocean. It was hanging in the back of my mind, but I kept making excuses. “Not the right moment,” “The budget isn’t there,” “Too busy.” et cetera.. et cetera.. But lately, the feeling was getting louder. During a call with…

A Rose and A Thorn
I watched Rental Family (with Brendan Fraser) on Disney+ the other day. It’s such a touching and real film. It perfectly captures those messy, complex, and deeply beautiful human feelings that we often try to hide. I laughed and cried, highly recommend it! It stayed with me and made me think about the space we are creating…

First of all, Happy Eid- Selamat Idul Fitri – to those of you who are celebrating. May this Eid bring you so much love, laughter, and endless blessings. I’ve had a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends. It was crowded as always (lol), and we had the best food made by my mom! My…

Who Are You Becoming?
Since we are in the month of Ramadan, and as I’m navigating an interesting phase in my life, I’ve been spending a lot of time in reflection. One of the ways I do self-reflection is by journaling. I’ve been journaling a lot lately, sometimes alone, and sometimes with a friend. I found it really fun…

Celebrating Meaningful Relationships
Lately, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about the people in my life. These past couple of weeks, I’ve been connecting more with my good friends, some are my “ride or dies,” others are people I see through my community, but every single connection has been so deep and meaningful. I love my friends. They…
