March 2026: Existing, Persisting… and Searching for Light

My Mister (2018): The Love that Saved 2 Lives

My Mister isn’t a drama that overwhelms you with twists or loud confessions. It moves quietly—like a long sigh at the end of a tiring day—and somewhere along the way, it settles into your bones.
It’s a story about loneliness in crowded rooms, about being understood without explanation, and about two exhausted souls who didn’t fall in love… but helped each other survive.

June 2025: Living with an Invisible Crisis #418

June 2025 was a mixed bag of progress and pause — some days swept me into work wins and structured routines, while others pulled me into spirals of exhaustion and quiet despair. Between mindful one-episode-a-day habits, deep cleaning marathons, emotional burnout, and reflective walks, the month became a slow but steady journey of showing up — for work, for others, and sometimes, even for myself.

May 2025: Half-Cleaned Rooms & Half-Healed Hearts #415

May 2025 was a quiet storm—filled with unfinished plans, emotional weight, and small acts of survival. Between academic deadlines, isolating work stress, and a deep sense of disconnection, I found fleeting comfort in cleaning rituals, K-dramas, and the quiet gestures of home. It wasn’t the restful break I hoped for—but somehow, I kept going.

March 2025 – An Early Summer and Delayed Motivation for Life #412

March 2025 has been a whirlwind of exams, office work, and personal reflections. From the anxiety of test-taking to the monotony of work, I found myself struggling with motivation and purpose. Conversations with colleagues offered unexpected insights—whether about career strategies, handling conflicts, or simply navigating life’s uncertainties. Meanwhile, personal frustrations, fleeting moments of peace, and the ever-growing pile of coursework kept my mind restless. As the month ended, I realized I was searching for something—maybe balance, maybe direction—but I’m not quite there yet.

January 2025: Pick and Choose Your Battles #410

January was a month of juggling commitments—work, studies, and personal projects—all while struggling to stay focused.

The month ended with reflections on career choices and the realization that growth happens on my own terms, not by anyone else’s standards.
