  • One Great Love at a Time

    I believe a person can have many great loves in a lifetime, but not all at once. Love isn’t something that gets erased when it ends, it leaves a mark, a lesson, a piece of who you become. Each great love teaches something different. Some teach resilience, some patience, some show you what you deserve…

  • The Forgotten Song of the Higher Beings

    Long before humans learned to carve fire or write words, the higher beings were already wandering the edges of galaxies. They were not born; they simply awoke, carrying power they did not ask for and could not explain. Each one shone like a star, yet inside they carried the same question humans carry: Why am…

  • What Changed My Mind About Duterte

    ***I want to stay neutral when it comes to politics. This is a personal reflection, not a criticism. I fully respect our former president. Im not glorifying Duterte or condemning him blindly; Im reflecting on how my understanding evolved.  I used to believe President Duterte did what had to be done. That peace came with…

  • Keeping Boundaries is Peace

    Back in 2018, most of my friends and I worked in the same place. We shared shifts, breaks, weekends, trauma bonding. But now, in 2025, we’re all in different workplaces. And honestly, I’m glad. Because I’ve learned something: It’s better when your circle of friends aren’t your workmates. Work becomes cleaner. Roles are clearer. There’s…

  • Not Everything Should Multiply

    Sometimes I look around and wonder: Why do we think more is always better? More people. More money. More buildings, more babies, more digits in a bank account. And the truth hits me: We’re not just living in a system of excess. We’re taught to worship it. Backstory: When I was on the train before…

  • “What Can I Do to Help?” A Reflection on Quiet Impact

    There was a moment, deep in the middle of a shift, when a memory returned so vividly I could almost hear it. The voice of a former patient, a professor, came back to me. He had taught at top universities in the US and UK. Brilliant, composed, full of depth. The kind of person you…

  • Trust vs. Mistrust: My Day with Caleb

    When Ate Marianne dropped off Caleb at 10:30 a.m., I was ready. I’d mentally prepared for battle: 16000 steps at the gym, seaweed soup to soothe my stomach, and the mindset of bring it on, I’m ready for war. Erik Erikson says that for babies under a year old, the core developmental stage is trust…

  • “I Chose to Show Up for Me”

    When I was a child, I used to fall asleep on a folding bed beside my parents. I remember feeling scared sometimes, but then I’d glance over, and there they were. My father, my mother. Just their presence made me feel safe. So I’d close my eyes and drift off, knowing I was looked after.…

  • The Concubine Who Was Never Visited

    I’ve been watching The Apothecary Diaries lately. At first, it felt like a slow burn. But then Sheiklan happened, and suddenly, all the softness turned sharp. It reminded me of Memoirs of a Geisha. Of Korean historical dramas. Of all the stories where women were dressed like goddesses but treated like ghosts. Where they waited…

  • Why Are Evil Spirits Always Ugly?

    I had a thought, maybe a weird one. In movies, evil spirits are always portrayed as twisted, ugly, terrifying beings. But if spirits are beyond human form, if they were once an angel who was said to be the most beautiful, then why would they choose to look so scary? What if that’s just our…
