if you’re curious about what it means to be free of a life of avoidance and delusion, how to heal from painful occurrences in life and unpause the living, and why all this matters more than ever in the age of disconnection and numbness. Also, if you’re curious about baking with Einkorn flour! 🙂
I am so glad you’re here!
where you can curl up with your favorite drink or blanket and a blog as if you were hanging out with a friend in your pajamas or sweatpants. Read stories from various stages of growing up as a person: from leaving my home country and carving out a life in the States, to surviving an abusive relationship, to opening my heart to a loving marriage, plus everything in between, and my journey towards motherhood.
Those looking for stories and lessons from someone who has experienced various forms of darkness in this world and shifted from escapism to realism. For those who are trying to break the pattern of dysfunction, heal, and conceive at the same time. And for people who have no intention of being a mother or wife, but are curious about what it all looks like.
Everything I write, make, or cook begins with the longing to feel safe at home — in our spaces, in our bodies, and in our ordinary days.
If my story speaks to you, maybe these parts of my life will too.
My days are spent cooking/cleaning, helping my husband’s business, researching fertility, walking the neighborhood, and sweating in the sauna. I write to bridge the gap between fear and love and start enjoying life as it is, including both the good and the bad. My hope is to show that our hearts never break, no matter what happens, and that we can smile again, regardless of the past.
This blog is my personal corner of the internet where I share the stories and lessons I’ve learned about resilience, boundaries, and the beauty of living life. Plus, ways to take a good care of us and loved ones inside out.
No matter what happens, we can always heal and be able to love all over again.
Please feel free to drop a line or two in the comments on a post if something hits you or a light bulb goes off in your head.
Thank you for being here, and cheers to the intersection of our lives!

You are not broken, and the darkness you are walking through is not your destination. I am here to share that the door to your healing is already there, and it just needs the right key.
This space is a collection of the tools, books, and truths that helped me unlock my own path to peace. I share them here, so perhaps it can be a part of your decision-making.
In a world where prettiness and shininess are preferred over the rough and gritty reality, there are people who have gone through similar pains as you did and came out stronger and more authentic than they could ever imagine. The path is certainly not easy and pain-free, but it is possible.
Not only the number of people with mental illnesses is rising, it is no longer just the matter of psyche. We have more inflammation, more toxins, more pains, and not enough attention to how to work through this jungle of chronic predetors.
Through the patience and practice of giving myself the love I needed, the pain and sludge around my heart have dissolved over the last decade. And I realized that love has its interesting way of being expressed. It’s not quite just one thing, but it’s perhaps more of an energy or invisible way of warmth.
I hope that what unlocked my door might unlock yours. If not, maybe even just a little crack.
Healing can be lonely, and indeed, only you can do the work to help yourself, but my journey was supported by my loving and patient husband, many personal blogs, books, education, and being exposed to many perspectives of others. There were fights, there were arguments, there was frustration for not being shown a clear answer to happiness, but I realized that this journey is much, much bigger than that. And I selfishly want to show my gratitude through writing, so that maybe it can be a light for others’ journeys.
I write to soothe one’s heart in need. I write to give hope to those in need. I write to show what we may think is indeed possible.
Welcome. You just opened a door to something full of possibilities.
