My feel-better list for when I’m sad:
• Run — My current favorite workout.
I go hard enough to sweat and forget what was bothering me. instant mood reset.
• I watch my plants and feel their gentle, quite energy. Taking care of them is something I deeply love
• Jump rope — especially when the sun’s out.
I stare straight into the sun, like I’m trying to absorb every drop of light into my soul
• Make myself a pretty, healthy meal, even when I don’t feel like eating.
Bonus points if it looks like something from a cozy cafe.
• Smile at myself in the mirror. Flash a peace sign. No one’s watching anyway.
• Walk and walk and walk — until I’m a little lost, in a good way. Try to notice all the tiny beautiful things hiding in plain sight.
Pretend I’m a tree researcher on a secret mission. Makes it more fun.
• Watch something silly or unbearably cute.
(Baby animals = instant emotional CPR.)
• Listen to bright, hopeful K-pop.
The kind that makes you want to dance and cry at the same time.

When life feels painfully alive and dead all at once — I try to enjoy it.
These wild, messy moments will be the ones I miss someday, when everything gets too normal.
Life is a game, and this is just another weird side quest.
Luck is always on my side.
