26 February work stars

26 Feb 2026 — ⭐⭐⭐ (3 Stars)

Worked while unwell with fever, stomach discomfort, and heavy fatigue. Completed colouring and goodie bag tasks at a steady pace and followed instructions to rest when needed. Stayed polite and calm despite workplace tension, physical bumps, and a very crowded commute. Focused on endurance and getting through the day safely.

Happy Valentine’s Day 💗

Today did not arrive wrapped in perfect ribbons or quiet moments. It came with a tired body, crowded buses, laughter that felt a little too loud, and feelings that moved up and down like waves. Yet somewhere between the chaos, I remembered something important. Love is not only found in grand gestures or romantic stories. Sometimes love looks like showing up anyway, taking a deep breath, holding your own bag a little closer, or choosing kindness even when your heart feels heavy.

This Valentine’s Day, I celebrate growth in all its forms. I celebrate creativity that keeps blooming, traditions that remind me where I come from, and the small acts of care that quietly say, “You matter.” Love can be a warm bowl of soup, a gentle message from family, a shared umbrella, or even a simple bag charm that says “I love you.”

If today feels lonely or overwhelming, I hope you remember that your story is still unfolding. You are allowed to move slowly. You are allowed to heal, to learn, and to become stronger in your own quiet way.

Here’s to choosing softness, courage, and self respect. Happy Valentine’s Day to every heart that keeps going, even on the messy days.

Poem — “Still Standing”

Morning rose before the sun

with warnings, noise, and heavy words.

Buses brushed past fragile space,

laughter cut where silence lived.

Hands reached when they should not,

eyes looked away when they should have stayed.

Small kindnesses came unevenly

one chocolate, one sweet, one soft voice.

My body spoke in aches and pain,

My heart kept translating the world.

I reported. I endured. I chose calm

even when calm was not offered.

And still

I walked myself home.

I cleaned the wounds.

I ate.

I rested.

This is not weakness.

This is a woman

still standing

after a day that tried very hard

to bend her.
