It’s been a while since I last sat down to write a blog post. Life lately has been a swirl of projects, emails, and plans that seem to multiply overnight. But beneath all that busyness, something deeper has been unfolding, a slow, quiet kind of healing. For months, my world revolved around recovery. The crash […]
A quiet morning moment It was early, maybe 5.30 AM. The city was still half-asleep. I sat near the window, holding a warm cup of tea, watching sunlight slowly climb the buildings across the street. For a few minutes, there was no noise, no rush, no notifications, just stillness. In that moment, something shifted inside […]
It was a Friday morning, and my mind was already sprinting before my body had even moved. Emails, meetings, deadlines, messages, everything rushed in at once. I caught myself holding my breath without even realizing it, that subtle tightness in my chest that shows up when life feels like too much. So, I paused. One […]
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon when I found myself sitting quietly at a small café near my apartment. My laptop was open, a half-finished cup of green tea beside me, and my search bar filled with “best self-help books to read.” The list was endless. Titles that promised to change your life in 30 […]
A Walk Around the Building A loop around my apartment building is about 500 meters. Normally, that would sound like nothing to me. I’m used to waking up at 5 AM, meditating, stretching, then heading out for a run, swim, or cycling session that lasts two hours or more. Long training sessions are my comfort […]
The Accident That Changed My Routine It’s been almost two weeks since that unexpected accident, the one that fractured the front ribs of my chest. To be honest, when it first happened, I was in shock. I had never broken a bone before, and suddenly my daily rhythm of training, swimming, cycling, and running was […]
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 […]
The Crash That Changed My Season It was supposed to be a fun company bonding event. We all showed up to the go-kart track with excitement buzzing in the air. I had never driven one before, so I wasn’t there to race, just to try something new. But sometimes life surprises us in the harshest […]
The Night I Showed Up Anyway It was 9 p.m., the end of a long day, and I couldn’t stop smiling. My body was tired from training, my hair still carried the scent of chlorine, and yet my heart was full. Why? Because I showed up. That morning started with cycling. By evening, after work, […]
It was a Monday night, around 10:23. The kind of night where the rain had been pouring for hours, the air felt cooler than usual, and all I craved was a bowl of hot soup. That’s exactly what I did after work – gathered with colleagues at a small local spot, laughing and sharing dumplings […]
