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..

Another New Year
Every year begins the same way - with new resolutions, new intentions.I start with enthusiasm, full of promise, only to burn brightly for a short while before quietly fading. 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. Even so, when this year comes to a close, I hope to look back and feel ..

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

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,..

The Joy of Being Able to Help Someone
While double-majoring in advertising and public relations, I made a friend who’s now a well-known travel creator. I’ve always admired how passionately she lives, and though we don’t keep in touch often, I quietly cheer her on from afar. A few days ago, I saw her post on Instagram looking for a model to shoot in front of trumpet creepers, but it seemed she was struggling to find someone. I wanted..
