Writer’s Block

What do you do to fight writer’s block? The word fight sounds too strong but that’s what I feel right now. I want to fight this feeling of not being able to write something good. I’m motivated to write about something but my mind is not cooperating with my heart. When my fingers are ready, …

The Opposite of the Other Day

Geez. Today is the opposite of the other day - busy and still productive. I woke up a little early than usual and began cleaning the mess my pets made on the balcony. They ruined the pillow bed I gave them last night. This isn’t new to me and it’s fine. They’re part of the …

2 of 365: A Chill and Productive Day

I opened my eyes this morning feeling grateful for waking up again. I made my bed and gathered my laptop, tumbler, and journal. I tied my hair and went downstairs to make food for my pets. It’s been a week now since I skipped drinking something hot in the morning and just eat a heavy …

A Cold Last Week of December 2022

We’ve been experiencing light rain from the morning of Christmas Eve until today. I have checked the weather forecast for tomorrow and still, a rainy day.

Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Compare Yourself to Others

I just received some great news yesterday. Two of my cousins are about to go on different journeys - building a family and getting married. I feel so happy for them and at the same time, a little sad for myself. I can’t help but compare myself to other people. I wrote a couple of …

Things I Want to Tell My Younger Self

As I was looking for old magazines that I could use to make my vision board, I saw my old dream book and book of life projects back in my first year in college. I took them with me downstairs because I got curious. I can no longer remember what I have written to it. …

Deciding Where I Want To Be

I suddenly feel the urge to make a list of things I want to achieve for this coming year 2023 after I read a very inspiring story of success. Looking back, I’ve never had a list of specific things I wanted to reach yearly. Once, we had this project in college where we made a …
