Peace Is Not a Romantic Word
This is something my pastor once said during a sermon, and the words stayed with me for a long time. For a long while, I thought of the word "peace" as something that sounded nice but felt distant from real life - almost like an empty phrase. That was because "peace" was usually talked about in grand and heavy contexts, such as peace between North and South Korea, or even World Peace. At least, ..

What It Means to Be Considerate
On a Saturday afternoon, during some free time I had to myself, I went to get my hair colored. (I already had plans to see a movie with my husband that evening!) Since I go to the salon every month to cover my gray hair, it wasn’t anything special. Still, because it was the first time I got my hair done this year, I wanted the day to feel a little different. So instead of the standard dye, I cho..

Days pass, habits loosen, and the year somehow ends without much having changed.2026 still feels unfamiliar, a number that hasn’t fully settled in yet.

Their attitude also gets under my skin. They rely heavily on per..

A Friend Who Truly Cheers Me On
It’s already been 9 days since I started writing daily.Sometimes I post past midnight, but I’m proud of myself for keeping at it! Looking back, I think I was in a bit of a slump with work late last year. During that time, my coworker-turned-best-friend was always by my side, cheering me on, which helped me not undervalue myself. She always said she learned so much from me and encouraged me, sayi..

A Matter of Perspective
Today was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. I had booked a morning appointment at a hair and makeup salon to get ready for a profile photo shoot, but I overslept and rushed out, ending up five minutes late. To make matters worse, I took the wrong elevator in the building where the salon was located (it didn’t even stop at the right floor. :( ), so I had to wait for another one,..
