The quiet power of 10 minutes Every night, before I close my eyes, there is a ritual I never skip. After journaling, I pick up a book and spend just 10 minutes reading. Nothing fancy. No marathon chapters. Just a pocket of time for my mind to wander into another world. Lately, it has been […]

The Crash That Changed My Routine It is surprising how quickly life can flip. One day you are training hard, keeping a routine you have built for months or even years. And then suddenly, in just one accident, you are forced to stop. For me, it was a fractured wrist and pain in my chest […]

That night with the book on my desk It was one of those nights when my brain felt like a messy desk. I had assignments piling up, emails unanswered, and a mind that refused to switch off. Out of habit, I grabbed a book from the stack beside my bed. I told myself, “Just a […]

The Morning I Realized Habits Were Everything I still remember a morning back in high school when I was cramming for an exam. I had a half-eaten bánh mì on my desk, an iced coffee sweating all over my notes, and my brain running in circles. It hit me: I can’t keep living like this. […]
