nothing in life is truly a loss when the goal is to experience, the only real loss is never trying at all.

every opportunity, every risk, every wrong turn, and every beginning leaves you with something to carry forward. maybe not always what you expected, but always something worth learning from <3

this is just one of the many many many beautiful things waiting ahead of us ü

a gentle reminder that not every good thing has happened yet. there are still prayers to be answered, dreams to be fulfilled, and moments that will make us look back and be grateful we kept going ♥︎

who would’ve thought i’d grow to love pastel pink and purple? my teenage self would be so surprised haha!

i guess that’s the funny thing about growing up. sometimes your tastes change, your preferences evolve, and you end up loving things you never thought you would. and honestly, i think they suit this version of me perfectly ü

ps. all of these cost me less than 200, which makes me super happy as someone who’s trying to cut costs these days.

happy first Sunday of the midyear!

finally making room for stillness. learning that not every moment has to be productive, and that sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is simply slow down and be present.

here’s to being more grateful, more intentional, and a little more graceful with ourselves ᢉ𐭩

happy saturday ü it’s been a hectic yet blessed week for me. yesterday, our dgroup leader invited us to a CCF event, and the guest speaker’s message really moved me. sometimes, you hear the exact words you didn’t even realize you needed.

grateful for moments like these that remind me to slow down, reflect, and keep my faith grounded even in the middle of busy days.

grieving is weird… one day you’re okay, the next day you’re not. some days the loss feels distant, and other days it finds its way back to you in the smallest things — a memory, a song, a familiar feeling.

and i think that’s the strange thing about life. nothing is truly ours to keep forever, no matter how deeply we love it. people come and go, moments pass, and time keeps moving whether we’re ready or not.

maybe that’s why love matters so much in the first place, because despite how temporary everything is, we still choose to care deeply anyway.

there’s something so special about being someone people feel safe enough to run to ᢉ𐭩

i’m always touched whenever my loved ones ask for my opinion or come to me before making big decisions. it makes me feel like they genuinely value not only my advice, but also the way i see things.

my baby cousins have always been like this with me, and sometimes i feel like a mom to them in the softest way possible

trust means so much to me, so whenever someone chooses to place that kind of trust in me, i’ll always protect it and treasure it with all my heart :,)

being so, so intentional on who gets access to things that truly matter to me. 🍃

a week late already, but who’s counting anyway?

back to my “scheduling my schedules” era because doing everything on my ipad just doesn’t work for me huhu (maybe for now). there’s still something comforting about writing things down, crossing tasks off, and seeing my week slowly come together on paper ♥︎

last night’s last-minute coffee order. work wasn’t that hectic, but with everything i have to get done this week, i needed that coffee.

mother’s day is coming up, and there’s still so much to prepare for my grandma, mom, and titas — reserving food here and there, ordering cakes, planning little things to make the day feel special for them. plus work? endless emails to update and tasks to finish.

but above all, productivity. not the exhausting kind, but the kind that reminds me i’m trying, showing up, and doing the best i can with everything on my plate.

happy midweek ü

[oceanwarm]

this may, i want to be more intentional about where my time goes.

to choose what truly matters, to pour my energy into things that feel right, and to stop holding onto what quietly drains me. to be present in the little moments, and to trust that slow, mindful growth is still growth.

i owe myself that much.

[cheruib]

happy to be here

cutest, sweetest thing today: my grandma called because she hadn’t seen me in two weeks. i went over, and she asked how i’ve been, if i’d been sick the past few days (i hadn’t, just busy with work). we ended up talking about random stuff like plants, her new hair, AI videos on yt, nails, flowers, her doctor meetings, even hair dye.

she asked me to have coffee with her. that’s her way of bonding with us — no phones, just conversation. she always reminds us to be grateful that we still get to have moments like this with her, especially now that she’s in her 90s, and yes, i am beyond grateful and i love that i get to do this with her, because time does fly…
