This year’s been wild. Brain’s a mess, heart’s a little tired.
And then the neighbor’s renovation started—relentless, unavoidable.
Escape mode is...: on.
But what do you do when your budget is tight, your spirit’s begging for freedom?
I’m just testing the art of low-cost peace and financial freedom, pretending. hehe.
Stay tuned.
On turning 40 (and not freaking out about it)
I recently had rare, heart-deep conversations with two of my school friends.
One’s a globe-trotting free spirit, the other a forever-smiling "success" story.
We’re all in different places, but one question united us:
What does being a woman in her 40s really mean?
I’ve crossed that line. Sasha’s almost there.
And yet, whenever someone says “At this age…”, the rebel in me twitches.
Because honestly? If your mind and money are free, 40+ is just a number.
You can keep exercises in ways that suit you.
Love someone who makes your heart feel full.
Do a job that doesn’t crush your soul (or your wallet).
If I could talk to my 30-year-old self:
Don’t overwork. Sleep more. Try new things. Know your limits. Make better friends.
You’ll be okay, even if you’re not “there” yet.
40 is the new 20—just with more wisdom, better boundaries, and a lot more chill.
Stop letting old rules define you. They were never meant for you anyway.
Aging is natural. But confidence? That’s earned.
And I still believe: Living well > living long.
Chapter 1 of my broke-but-free adventures begins now.
Love you all. 💛
