Today’s Brain Dumping: Just Showing Up

Some days, words flow easily. Other days, like today, I’m not sure what to share or what’s worth writing. Still, I promised myself to show up — even if all I have is a jumble of thoughts.

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of videos about the astral world on YouTube. It’s made me reflect on my own inner battles — that sense of a “demon” beside me, working harder to get in, testing my focus and energy. I’ve been learning to distance myself from negativity, to notice when it shows up and not let it take root.

The past few days at home have felt a bit heavier too. My husband’s been under medication that’s causing bloating and discomfort, and maybe that’s why his energy feels a little off. Small arguments have popped up over little things. But this morning we went out for yum cha, fixed the outside storage together, and tonight we’re planning sushi for dinner. In the quiet moments, I remember: even on the messy days, I feel safe with my husband and family.

Nothing profound to share today. No big lessons. But maybe that’s the lesson — to write anyway. To sit with the quiet, the ordinary, and the small wins. To keep showing up.
