I hate Mondays

I hate Mondays!
I knew that I should be grateful all the time
Hence, it's hard to force something  you couldn't feel.
Mondays remind me about the insurmountable routines,
tons of paperworks, and challenging people in a weary land.

Sometimes, I would invalidate my feelings
like what they murmur in my ears,
"you are just ungrateful with what you have"
and thousand reasons that I coundn't  bear.
How would  I react if others tell me what to do?

Mondays made me realized
that this isn't the path I wanted to pursue.
I don't want to waste sleepless nights,
doing the same thing all over again.
I hate myself for letting this commitments
outgrown my passion and joy.

Mondays make me to crave for more of this,
How ironic it is that during this withered days
I would search for this, for quiet moment...
Where I can pour out what's inside my soul.
Where I can found meaning and purpose.
Where I can connect my reality and enjoy its simplicity.


Mondays! Oh Mondays!

Hope in Jesus

This Christmas, I’m reminded of Him in the manger, sobbing like a typical infant while being swaddled in clothes. Giving us hope, reassuring us that He also comes in small, not to impress but rather to serve, as a constant reminder of His incredible love for us offers us peace, joy, and hope.

Your slow morning matters too

just simply sitting, walking, listening, roaming absorbing, and taking time.

Under the Moon

I wouldn’t expect fullness from you, because just like the moon we’re facing different phases.
