Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash Today, I read about a safe way to recover from emotional abuse. If you ask me about my relationship with God, it is not great. I am doubtful, and I am half-hearted. I am aware I am practising partial obedience. I have been struggling with my relationship with my in-laws. I have […]

When CNY becomes judgements in family
Photo by Cami Talpone on Unsplash Note: This post was written in 19 July 2016 as “Greatest Wedding Regrets.” It’s been almost two years on since my husband and I have read more articles on psychology and often fought through the logics.

Photo by Brooke Cagle on Unsplash Note: This post was written elsewhere on 1 June 2017, when I was slowly healing from the trauma of my mother in-law’s abuse.

Dear you

Moving on in friendships
Photo by Matthew Gerrard on Unsplash I would like to think that I move on in friendships really fast, except for the close friends. There are many reasons to it. Firstly, friends that you grow up with would have found different enlightenment in life, which means that the goals and direction are never the same. Of course I […]
The strawberry millennials
Photo by Kimson Doan on Unsplash Today I found this on my husband’s Facebook: Click the thumbnail to read the whole thing. Well, I am in between of the millennial and the Gen X. I am not the one who resigns immediately and get stuck in a job that I don’t like until I make a decision to […]
