These Are Our Days.

I once read that everyone needs a place where there is nothing to hear but themselves. For me, that place is writing. Putting thoughts into words creates space and order in my mind. Writing is also how I process emotions. That’s why I maintain Thoughts by Thinzar on my website to create that space not just for myself, but for anyone who might find something in my words too. So, I invite you to pause and reflect with me. 

We are nearly halfway through the year. As summer draws near, I have been thinking about the seasons of life—and how closely they mirror the life cycle of flowers.

There are seasons of nurturing, blooming, stillness, and letting go. We often focus on the bloom—the visible progress, the peak moments. But we rarely talk about the beauty of the nurturing phase. It’s in these quieter, sometimes uncomfortable stretches that we care for our thoughts, emotions, and inner resilience.

I often want to skip these hard parts and rush toward the bloom, the moment where things make sense again. Maybe you feel that too. But the more I stay with discomfort, the more I uncover strength and meaning in simply being present—especially during the uncertain seasons.

We can't afford to wish this time away just because we're waiting for the next moment of bloom. Wouldn’t you agree?

Because these—right here, right now— are OUR days.
