New year. New beginning. We wish each other another great year ahead, but can we still hold that mindset when things go sour? Someone said it’s a privilege to feel frustrated by the life you once desperately wanted . And indeed, it is  a privilege to stress about dreams that actually came true. Then what? Sometimes that truth, as beautiful as it sounds, still isn’t enough to carry you through the hard days. Especially when the storms feel so much bigger than the bravery it to

This might have been the toughest one for me to share yet. It only took me a few hours to write, but it took me years to even consider whether it was worth sharing at all, and months to reflect on what I would say if I did. Over the last fifteen years, I could barely watch past the first ten seconds of this video, let alone gather the courage to hit play. It brought back too many emotions, so vividly that it felt like everything was happening in real time again. And every tim

Are you sure? Or have you simply learned to judge yourself through someone else’s definition of beauty? Look at yourself again. Not just in the mirror, but in the life you live. Maybe that softer part of your body isn’t a flaw. Maybe it’s warmth. Maybe it’s comfort. Maybe it’s simply human. Maybe that breakout showed up because you’ve been pushing hard and pouring your energy into things that matter. Maybe those dark circles came from nights spent caring, building, surviving,

Reflection breeds wisdom Wisdom breeds clarity Clarity breeds effectiveness Effectiveness breeds momentum Momentum breeds advancement Advancement breeds success  Success breeds influence  Influence breeds empowerment Empowerment breeds self-actualization Self-actualization breeds fulfillment  Fulfillment breeds contentment …and the quiet truth is, when you trace it back, it all began with a single choice: to reflect. ✨

Everything sucks. Everyone is tired. And miserable. And lonely. And somehow all of it keeps finding its way into you, like you’re a public museum of feelings. Free admission. No closing hours. You’re not a sponge. But… you kind of are 🧽 You feel people’s emotions—not just the excitement, but the anxiety, the depression, the quiet cries for help. You see people hopping from one party to another, and something in you knows they’re just searching for another escape. You watch p

To exist is to suffer. To live is to find meaning in suffering. To be content is to embrace the suffering. To be alive is to transform the suffering. To be happy is to overcome one’s own suffering. To be wise is to empathize with other people’s suffering. To be fulfilled is to help others overcome their suffering. To be enlightened is to maintain peace amidst suffering. To evolve is to bloom in crisis—to thrive through suffering. 🤍

It’s logical to think that if we push harder, things are supposed to become easier, right? But life doesn’t really work that way 🤷‍♀️ A kite doesn’t look at birds and complain that it doesn’t have wings. It doesn’t try to flap. It waits for the wind—because it knows that when the wind comes, it’s its  turn to fly. A bat doesn’t fight the sunlight, either. It doesn’t curse the day for being too bright. It rests. It conserves energy. It moves when night arrives—when the world

We often look at happiness as something we need to grip tightly, as if it might slip through our fingers the second we lose focus. As if one wrong step, one unexpected wave, one moment of doubt could make it disappear. But what if happiness isn’t something to hold at all? What if it’s something to move with? Because the more we try to cling to happiness, the faster it dissolves. It wasn’t designed to be stored, preserved, or controlled. Happiness is an experience, not a posse

I love dressing up. And for a while, somehow it became something I felt guilty to show on here. Contrary to what a lot of people may think, I’m very much low-maintenance. I genuinely feel comfortable in my own skin, like I’m ready to go out whenever without styling my hair or putting on makeup. But it doesn’t mean I denied the side of me that also loves mixing and matching outfits, getting my hair done, or wearing a little blink blink jewelry. I love simplicity as much as I l
