Reflections on bucket lists
I remember when I first started to write a bucket list. It was during the pandemic, I had moved back with my parents and was trying so hard to stay afloat and resist the depression that was expanding its wings embracing me in darkness. For me, that bucket list was my way of fighting, my… Continue reading

Slow mornings – a gift to myself
I love slow mornings! I said this to myself today while I was bringing a cup of coffee, and I was getting back to reading webtoons (Korean digital comics). Before starting the habit of writing morning pages everyday, my mornings would start with work during the week and with reading webtoons during the weekend. Reading… Continue reading

A traveler in my new town
Ever since I moved in this town, I promised myself to get outside more, to see more sunsets, to walk more and to simply observe from the side how the world transforms. The weather is hot, but thanks to it, I learned to better organize myself. In the morning I work or run errands, in… Continue reading

I filled a jar with words
They say that words carry power. Compliments are words, promises are words, criticism is mainly done through words. Words get the fastest to our heart and brain and we tend to believe what other people tell us. Some days we might not find the right words to say how we feel, and other days we… Continue reading
