Today I read this line in The Midnight Library by Matt Haig: “You don’t have to understand life to live it.” I sat with that for twenty minutes, staring out my window while rain tapped the glass like a quiet knock. I’ve spent years trying to “figure it all out”—my career, my relationships, my purpose—as if meaning is a puzzle with one correct solution. But what if it’s not? What if meaning isn’t found in answers, but in the act of showing up anyway? This sentence didn’t give me clarity. It gave me permission. To be confused. To stumble. To keep going without knowing why. I cried a little. Not because I was sad—but because for the first time in months, I felt allowed to be human, not a product to be optimized. I underlined it. Then I put the book down and made tea. No agenda. Just presence.

Right now, I'd describe my mood as "over the moon." I just received news that I got accepted into the graduate program I've been dreaming about for years. All the late nights studying, the endless applications, and the nail-biting wait have finally paid off. It feels surreal to think that I'll be pursuing my passion at such a prestigious institution. This moment is a testament to the power of perseverance and believing in oneself. I'm filled with gratitude for everyone who supported me along the way and excitement for the new chapter ahead.

There’s something special about beginning the day with a pet by your side. Whether it’s the excited paw taps of a dog waiting for a walk or the soft purr of a cat curling up at your feet, pets set the tone for mornings in a way no alarm clock ever could. A routine of feeding, walking, or simply greeting them becomes a ritual that grounds us. These small moments—stretching alongside your dog, sipping coffee while your cat perches on the windowsill—become a comforting rhythm. In a fast-paced world, pets remind us that mornings don’t have to be rushed; they can be joyful, shared, and filled with warmth.
