Halo

My cat : Tobi

Two years have passed—funny how I forgot this little corner of mine. I returned after asking ChatGPT how to live a life with more freedom. So here I am. I’d love to share some of my photos, but I still need to learn how to edit them gently. I’ll be back soon.

About Me

Hi, I’m Shaqin. I enjoy quiet things—like taking photos, writing, and making small handmade crafts. I also work with maps, report, water modeling. My job is technical, but I like to make it clear and kind for others. I believe in fair work, slow creativity, and learning step by step. This blog is my calm space to share stories, small moments, and things I make with care. Sometimes it’s a donut. Sometimes it’s a diagram.

The routine itself isn't dramatic, but something about it feels heavier than it should. The hardest part, I think, is going to work. Spending the whole day sitting in front of a laptop, eyes strained, head aching from reports and endless analysis. It happens five days a week. Not even full-time, not 24/7—but somehow, I feel exhausted all the time. Sometimes I imagine escaping. Resigning. Staying home. Just playing with my cats and letting the world go on without me. But I need money. I need to feed them. And so, I keep showing up—even when my spirit feels like it's somewhere else. 😧 What do I keep returning to in my thoughts, even when I try to move on? I feel tired every time these...
