Just Protecting My Energy

Sunday, September 29, 2024


 ✨ PSA: At this point in my life, I’m done with flaky friends. I’m talking about the ones who never show up, always got an excuse, or go MIA whenever it matters. 🙄 I’ve been patient, I’ve been nice, but honestly? I’m over it. I’m not here to chase anyone or beg for loyalty. If you can’t put in the effort, don’t expect to stick around. 🤷‍♂️

I’m choosing my peace over people who don’t respect my time or energy. It’s not about being mean or bitter — it’s about knowing my worth and not settling for less. 🚫 I’m not holding onto dead weight or pretending things are cool when they’re clearly not. Friendship is a two-way street, and if you’re not showing up, then don’t be surprised when I stop making room for you. 🙅‍♀️

I don’t have time for games, fake vibes, or people who only hit me up when it’s convenient for them. If you wanna stay in my life, show up consistently, or keep it moving. It’s all love, but I’m setting boundaries. I’m done pouring from an empty cup.

No hate, no drama — just protecting my energy from now on. So either match my effort or lose access. Simple as that. 💁‍♀️

September Goodbye

Monday, September 23, 2024


 September brings all the feels, doesn’t it? It’s been heavy for me, like a weight on my chest that seems to get heavier with each passing day. I’ve found myself just trying to make it through, counting down the days until it’s finally over, waiting for some kind of relief. What’s strange is, September never promised not to make me cry. It never promised easier days or a smooth path. Instead, it wrapped me in moments that forced me to slow down, to sit with the weight of everything, and to face what I’ve been carrying.

Even though it felt like September would never end, here I am, still standing. I’ve had to pick up the pieces of myself that fell along the way, take a deep breath, and gather all the scattered fragments. And even though I’m still figuring it out, there’s a quiet power in that. There’s a kind of courage in holding on when all I wanted to do was let go.

So here I am, standing at the end of this wild month, waving goodbye to September. Not with bitterness or sadness, but with some newfound strength. September tested me, broke me a little, but it also gave me the chance to rebuild. I made it through, and honestly, that’s something to be proud of. Now, I’m ready to face whatever comes next, with all the pieces I’ve managed to pick up, and hoping the next chapter will be a little lighter. 🌿


Being Diabetic in Your 30’s

Friday, September 20, 2024

This is earlier today. I had 2 cups of ice cream yesterday so…

Alright, here it goes. I’ve been dealing with something for a while now, and honestly, I’ve kept it to myself because I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. But here’s the truth: I’m diabetic. And being young with diabetes? It’s not exactly the easiest thing to admit. At first, I thought I could just power through it, like, “Okay, I’ll just manage, no worries.” But that’s not how it works. 


It’s a constant struggle. Some days, I’ll eat whatever, thinking, “I’ll be fine.” And then, boom—I'm hit with that sick feeling that knocks me off my feet, and I’m like, “Okay, this is serious.” But the next day, I’m back to normal like nothing happened. It’s such a rollercoaster. And to be honest, the hardest part is balancing this reality with the fact that I still just want to live life like everyone else, without overthinking every single thing I eat. It’s exhausting, and sometimes it feels like I’m failing.


But you know what? I’m done hiding it. This is my life now, and I’m learning to accept it. I’ve realized it’s okay to mess up sometimes. It doesn’t mean I’m not trying or that I’m weak—it just means I’m human. So, yeah, I’m diabetic. And even though it’s hard, I’m owning it. I’m figuring it out, step by step, and I’m not going to let it control me anymore.

Two Years Later: Missing You Everyday, Dad

Friday, September 06, 2024


 It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that two years have already passed since you left. Time is moving so fast, but the pain? That hasn’t changed at all. It’s still there, lingering like a shadow, no matter how much life keeps pushing forward.

I miss you, Dad. Every day. Sometimes, it hits me out of nowhere—like when I want to tell you about something that happened at work or just chat like we used to. Then I remember…you’re not here. And honestly, that realization is just as painful today as it was the day you passed.

People always say that time heals, and I guess in some ways it does. I’ve learned to get through the days without breaking down as much, but there are still moments where it feels like I’m right back to square one. They never tell you that grief doesn’t really go away; you just get better at carrying it.

It’s weird to think about all the things that have happened since you’ve been gone—the milestones, the little victories, and even the tough days. I can’t help but wonder what you’d say or how you’d help me through it. You were always my go-to for advice, the person who could see things clearly when I couldn’t. I miss that clarity, that comfort.

Sometimes I feel stuck in the past, holding on to our memories. But then I remember how much you wanted me to keep moving forward, to live fully, and I try to do that for you. It’s not easy, but I’m working on it. You left a huge mark on my life, and I see little pieces of you in everything I do—whether it’s how I handle challenges or just how I find joy in the simple things.

Two years have gone by, but not a single day passes without you on my mind. I miss you more than words can say, Dad. You’re always with me, and I’ll keep carrying your memory with me, no matter where life takes me.

I am One of Them Now| Ong Fam

Sunday, September 01, 2024


 Hey, everyone! So, I know I'm kinda late to the game on this, but I wanted to share something that's been on my mind lately. For the past two weeks, I’ve been feeling really off, like not just physically but mentally too. I’ve had way too much time on my hands, just lying in bed and scrolling through the endless sea of content on the internet. You know how it is when you're not feeling great—sometimes all you can do is just browse and try to find something that makes you feel a little less blah.

That’s when I stumbled across the Ong fam’s account, and let me tell you, they were a total breath of fresh air. Their content is just so genuine, and honestly, that's what we all need right now. In a world where so much feels fake or overly curated, the Ong fam keeps it real. They’re not always happy, and they’re not trying to pretend like life is perfect, but that’s exactly what makes them so relatable and loveable.

I’ve been watching their videos, and I just love how authentic they are. They share the ups and downs, the good and the bad, and that’s what makes their content so special. It’s not all about putting on a show; it’s about showing up as you are, and I think that’s something we could all use a little more of in our lives.

So yeah, if you haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favor and dive into their world. I promise they’re worth every second. I’m so glad I found them, and I hope you guys end up loving them as much as I do! 💖
