Thoughts that crossed my minds last week.

How can someone die at 26? When they were that beautiful?
I’m always grateful when people make it easy for me to leave them—simply by showing their true low-life selves.
Genuinely concerned about the political madness following Trump’s executive orders and its eerie parallels with Prabowo’s young administration. Prioritizing defense over infrastructure and education is a classic move in authoritarian and fascist-leaning governance. Lately, I’ve found myself bringing this up in almost every conversation, not to seek agreement, just to spark discussion.
I finally set a daily budget for the next two months, and I think that’s pretty cool and an achievement, haha.
Gembung, the stray cat I’ve been caring for, finally let me treat his infected neck wound after months of trying. The new medicine seems to be working, and he’s been extra sweet lately.
I heard a woman’s story that made my world feel small. My privilege—education, middle-class upbringing, generational ‘wealth’—shaped my life so differently from hers. Yet, she lives so close.
I don’t really enjoy driving anymore.
I just started taking care of plants at home, and now I get frustrated when I’ve done all I can, but a leaf still dries out.
