2026 Weekly

In this long-overdue life update, I catch up on 4 missed weeks: from landing a spot in the Guangzhou Marathon to processing unexpected emotions.

Somewhere along the way, my daily life started to feel natural. Week 38 made me realize that I wasn’t trying to find my flow anymore—I was already living in it.

Life is a mix of control and uncontrollable things. Sometimes, taking control means knowing what to hold on to and what to let go.

Life isn’t always painless, but the smallest moments can still make it beautiful. A mountain, a warm stone, a wide sky, and a reminder to live in the process.

My reading marathon is still going, and this week brought an unexpected little milestone: 210 minutes of reading in one day. More than the number itself, I found myself enjoying the rhythm of reading more consistently, one small pocket of time at a time.

Ten minutes in the pouring rain. Alone, soaked, and somehow completely okay. Sometimes self love arrives in the most unexpected moments.

A quiet week of slow living, spent reading The Shining on rainy days, writing less, and learning to be okay with taking things slower.

An autumn morning bike ride, quiet reading, and a little reflection on life, doubt, and learning to appreciate what I already have.

An ordinary week filled with rain, a meaningful 10K run, and honest thoughts about writing, reading, rest, and finding small wins.

This week reminded me that life doesn’t need to be perfect. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come from accepting things as they are.
