Notes on living with a little more ease.
Small routines, shifts in perspective, and mental models that make life feel lighter. Less guilt, less comparison, less pressure to keep up, while still making room for growth, learning, and ambition.
For as long as I remember, I’ve found myself swinging between overwhelm and underwhelm. Between ambition and taking it too easy. Between stupid hope and dull disappointment.
Sometimes I’d go all in, trying to do everything. Most other times, I’d retreat and do almost nothing. Either way, I struggled to manage my energy, with little to show.
I knew I could do better — with less weight, less guilt, less envy, less chasing, less judgement.
I want growth and challenge, but I also want energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm for what I do.
Over time, I’ve found that what helps most are light shifts — in how I think, how I frame choices, and how I move through my days. That’s what I share here.

I am still figuring out how to keep learning, stay ambitious, and live gently.
