Today wasn’t easy.
There was noise, conflict, and moments where emotions overflowed.
But even in that
I still paused,
I still reflected,
I still came back to myself.
That is growth.
Not perfection.
Not silence.
But returning.
Good news, I received international 1st place award for my book, 公主的故事
This morning began gently,
but somewhere along the way,
the day grew heavier than I expected.
There were moments
that felt sharp, confusing, and loud—
words that didn’t sit right,
movements that felt too close,
and situations that left me feeling unseen.
I tried to hold myself together
in spaces that did not always feel safe.
And maybe…
I didn’t do everything perfectly.
Maybe my voice rose when my heart was too full.
But even then,
I was still trying.
I walked through the rain.
I stayed when things felt...
This morning began in the quiet blue before sunrise.
4:21am, and the world was still soft and half-asleep.
I moved gently through my routine, brushing my teeth, preparing my drinks, folding my clothes,
trying to steady myself before the day began.
There was something in the air today.
Not loud, not obvious, but restless.
The journey out felt like stepping into a moving current.
A bicycle screeched somewhere too close.
A stranger brushed past my bag.
A boy walked ahead, then suddenly ran, as if I had...
This morning began before the light,
in the quiet hours where the world was still
but my body already felt heavy.
Warm water, small routines,
a prayer whispered a little later than usual—
not perfect, but still sincere.
Outside, the rain came down harder than expected.
The ground was slippery,
and for a moment, I almost fell.
But I didn’t.
I kept walking.
The journey was filled with small moments—
some gentle, some uncomfortable.
Seats shifting, people moving,
umbrellas brushing past like passing thoughts....
Today felt heavy in quiet ways.
Small things didn’t go smoothly,
and my body felt slower than usual.
Even simple moments carried a kind of weight
I couldn’t fully explain.
So I allowed myself to pause.
And in that pause,
I found a kind of space within me
that felt calm and untouched.
It wasn’t a real place,
but it felt safe.
A space filled with light,
where nothing rushed me,
and nothing asked me to prove anything.
There was comfort in simply sitting still,
in letting the noise fade
without needing to fix...
Today was not an easy day.
My body felt heavy, my throat hurt,
and even simple things took effort.
There were moments of frustration,
moments where I reacted,
and moments where I just felt tired of everything.
But even in that,
I still showed up.
I ate what I could.
I rested when I needed.
I said sorry when things calmed down.
I chose to protect my peace.
Not every strength is loud.
Some strength looks like lying down and breathing.
Some strength looks like letting go of what hurts.
Today, I choose to see...
Today felt like a long thread pulled through too many moments.
A body that burned in the morning,
a voice that grew softer with each hour,
and a heart that kept trying to stay steady
in places that felt loud, shifting, and uncertain.
There were small discomforts —
the noise, the stares, the teasing,
the feeling of being slightly out of place.
But there were also quiet kindnesses.
A tissue given.
A hand held.
A question asked: “How are you?”
Even when the world felt messy,
I did not disappear.
I showed up —...
This morning began like many others,
quiet steps, small routines,
a body already a little tired
before the world even asked anything of it.
The day started with simple, hands-on tasks.
Shoes to arrange,
small responsibilities to carry.
I reached for hangers,
helped where I could,
doing my part in quiet ways that often go unseen.
Work unfolded in fragments.
There were tasks to complete
math, words, colours
things that should have felt light
but were carried in a heavier atmosphere.
Voices rose around me,
...
This morning began quietly, before the sun fully rose.
There was something steady in the routine, something grounding.
But the world outside felt different.
A near miss. A messy space.
Moments that felt rushed, slightly off, a little overwhelming.
Yet, the day did not stay heavy.
There were small kindnesses.
A drink given. A seat shared.
Soft conversations that made the journey feel less lonely.
There were also moments that stung a little.
A harsh tone. A look. A feeling of being unseen.
But instead of...
I woke before the sun,
in a house already moving.
The sound of water,
of chores already begun,
of expectations carried in the air
before I could even fully breathe.
I moved through the morning
like a quiet routine
brush, fold, pack, bathe, eat
trying to do everything right
before the day could question me.
But even small decisions
became something to be measured.
So I stepped out
into a world already awake.
A bus ride
a sudden hit at the side
a moment of shock
then stillness again
I am safe, I reminded myself
...
This morning began with small acts of care.
I woke up, prepared my medicine, brushed my teeth, and tried to move gently into the day. Even the little things felt like effort, but I still showed up for myself.
There were moments that felt uncomfortable.
The bus ride was uneasy, with someone coughing beside me. I walked through crowded spaces, searched for a simple watch repair, and felt watched, rushed, and slightly out of place. Still, I found my way. Step by step.
At home, words were heavier.
Not...
This morning began gently,
though the throat carried a quiet ache.
There was routine
brushing teeth, preparing breakfast,
small movements that felt almost automatic,
as if the body remembered what to do
even when the heart was elsewhere.
Smoke from a joss stick curled into the air,
a quiet prayer offered without many words.
Somewhere in between the ordinary,
something shifted.
A presence that had once been constant
fell silent.
No explanation,
no closing sentence
just a space where something used to be.
It...
This morning began quietly,
with small routines held together
by effort more than ease.
The body moved,
even when it didn’t feel like it could.
Step by step—
to the sink,
to the kitchen,
to the quiet act of preparing something warm.
There was discomfort,
the kind that lingers in the chest
and rises in coughs that do not ask for permission.
Even the hand carried a dull reminder
of healing that has not yet finished.
Still, the day continued.
Clothes were folded.
Plans were made for another day ahead.
Medicine...
Today began with discomfort before the sun was fully awake.
My body felt uneasy — waves of nausea rising and falling like a restless tide. Even brushing my teeth became difficult, and breakfast would not stay.
The morning turned into a quiet journey to the hospital. The corridors were filled with many different stories — an elderly woman with a fracture, a man in pain, another patient waiting for a scan. In that observation room, strangers shared the same fragile space between sickness and...
I woke before dawn with fever and nausea, my body reminding me that it needed care.
Even so, I prepared breakfast and stepped into the morning, carrying both exhaustion and determination.
At work, kind voices noticed my hoarse voice and encouraged me to see a doctor.
Soon I found myself at the polyclinic, answering questions and undergoing tests while quietly hoping for answers.
The diagnosis came: an infection my body was fighting.
Two days of rest were prescribed — a reminder that healing is...
In secret kitchens, two hearts align,
A chef and a friend, a bond divine.
With flavors and tunes, they weave a spell,
Together they create, a story to tell.
In whispered recipes, emotions unfold,
A connection deep, worth more than gold.
Their dance in the dark, with music so fine,
A sweet serendipity, only they define.
Today did not arrive wrapped in perfect ribbons or quiet moments. It came with a tired body, crowded buses, laughter that felt a little too loud, and feelings that moved up and down like waves. Yet somewhere between the chaos, I remembered something important. Love is not only found in grand gestures or romantic stories. Sometimes love looks like showing up anyway, taking a deep breath, holding your own bag a little closer, or choosing kindness even when your heart feels heavy.
This Valentine’...
Morning rose before the sun
with warnings, noise, and heavy words.
Buses brushed past fragile space,
laughter cut where silence lived.
Hands reached when they should not,
eyes looked away when they should have stayed.
Small kindnesses came unevenly
one chocolate, one sweet, one soft voice.
My body spoke in aches and pain,
My heart kept translating the world.
I reported. I endured. I chose calm
even when calm was not offered.
And still
I walked myself home.
I cleaned the wounds.
I ate.
I rested.
This is not...
