Do You Unintentionally Hurt Others?
Right now, I’ve just returned from a friend’s gathering. Sitting in my dedicated office chair, I light a stick of agarwood incense. The calming scent relaxes me as I gaze out the window at the island’s late twilight. My room is dimly lit — dull and sluggish, much like my current mood.

Why It’s Okay to Not Be Okay Sometimes
There was a time when I thought being strong meant being happy all the time. I wore smiles like armor. I answered “I’m fine” before anyone could even finish asking how I was. I filled my days with productivity and people and noise—anything to avoid sitting in stillness with how I really felt.
