The woman who started this writing series couldn’t imagine standing here. Finally, on day 365. Not because it was impossible—but because she hadn’t yet learned that she could be trusted…
It’s the second last day of this series, and I’ve just realised that I don’t need to commit a new insight to the page. Day 364 isn’t the place for…
Patience isn’t passive; it’s the choice to stay when nothing is finished yet. I need to be patient with myself this year. Truly patient. Not in theory, but in practice….
I’ve come across a few reflections on what 2026 is meant to bring for Cancer. My sign. I’m not someone who lives by horoscopes, but this year, the themes landed…
It’s New Year’s Eve, and for the first time, the idea of 2026 feels close enough to touch. Not rushed. Not abstract. Just real. Today is also day 361 of…
Today we bought two unremarkable cream plates—thin, cheap, easily breakable. We have no intention of keeping them intact. Tomorrow night, on New Year’s Eve, they’ll hold everything we’re ready to…
The strange thing about time is how quietly it changes its grammar. One moment, it’s ‘this’ year. The next, it’s ‘last’ year. And somewhere in that shift, I can feel…
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” — Maya Angelou I’m letting this quote sit with me for a while. It’s…
I’m on holiday for the first time this year, and I can’t seem to relax. It’s the 27th of December, and I still feel like I can’t rest. In just…
“Integrity means having only one self. Dividing into two selves—the shown self and the hidden self—that is brokenness, so I do whatever it takes to stay whole.” — Glennon Doyle…
It’s the end of Christmas Day, and my heart feels quietly full. Christmas Eve was playful and light, and Christmas lunch was joyful in that easy, unforced way that settles…
For a moment, I had a surprisingly hard time thinking about gifts. Not just gifts in general, but the Secret Santa one, especially. The anxiety felt outsized, irrational even, and…
Staying above water this year in terms of work has been one of the hardest things. And today I sent my last Slack message to my team, my last client…
I think I need to write aloud for a moment. About self-care. It’s a word that gets used often and understood rarely. A buzzword, yes, but also something far more…
There are days when my peace feels like it belongs to everyone but me. It rises and falls depending on who shows up, who doesn’t, and what I think that…
Today marks day 350. Fifteen days left. Four days until Christmas. And two more workdays to push through, even though I’m shattered. In fact, these last two workdays feel disproportionate…
I had my last therapy session for the year this week, and it was quite a surreal experience. It marked not only another year of doing the work, trusting my…
I saw a video today by Ryan Primer that broke my heart and reminded me of something beautiful, both at the same time. He said, ‘Name three people you love.’…
People give you what they are, not what you deserve. What you deserve, you give to yourself. There is only one way to define or determine what you deserve. There…
We often picture growth as a smooth and straightforward journey, unfolding gently over time. But most of the time, it’s forged from endings, discomfort, and the moments that undo us…
