Dream Life

                                You have to chase the things that ignite you. You have to do the things that bring you joy. You have to surround yourself with the people who bring you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and  embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted  and loved. You have to do the work to heal yourself, even when it hurts especially when it hurts, so that you do not continue to approach your life within the boundary of what is heavy within you. You have to put  yourself out there, and you cannot worry about what other people think,  you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness or inspiration because  you are scared of how you will be perceived. You have to unapologetic in  the way that you exist here. You have to believe that your ideas, and your  hope, and your being, deserve to take up space. You have ...

                            No one ever really understands or tries to understand you. It was always people yelling out their opinions and voicing their advices,  which eventually led you to realize that people weren't really compassionate towards you. No one ever really hears what you say, or they never insist on knowing what you were actually feeling; it was always them just yelling out their opinions at you. Maybe this is how life is, and these are the things that actually make you understand how important it is to find your own self, be your own comfort person, best friend, healer and be all you want other people to be for you. No one is going to ask you what made you to  that , what made you react like that, why did you do  that, and most importantly, how do you feel. People are just there, not wanting to go into the depths of what you feel or how you feel, but they'll always be opinionated with wh...

                                You don't need grand gestures or far-off destinations to add a bit of magic to your everyday life. Sometimes, it's about seeing the beauty in the simple, the wonder in the ordinary. It's about savoring the moments you might otherwise overlook, and finding joy in the smallest of things. Start with how you greet the day. Let the morning light be more than just the signal to start your routine-let it be a moment to pause and feel gratitude for a new beginning. Sip your coffee or tea slowly, letting its warmth fill you up, savoring each sip like its a tiny luxury. Notice the world around you. The flowers blooming on your walk, the patterns of light and shadow dancing on the walls, the laughter of strangers passing by. These are all little gifts waiting to be unwrapped, each one a reminder that life is filled with moments of quiet beauty, if only we choose to see them. Treat the ev...

  In the rush of daily life, it's easy to love sight of the present moment. Pause, take a breath, and ground yourself in the now. The present is where life unfolds, where joy resides, and where peace is found. Appreciate the simple pleasures: a smile, a gentle breeze, the warmth of the sun. These moments, though small, are the threads that weave a life of meaning and fulfillment. Let go of the past, release the future, and embrace the beauty of presence. You are here and that is enough.

  There comes a time in life where you come across a person that is a deep breath personified. Someone who knows what you're thinking simply by the look in your eyes. Someone you can laugh until you cry with. Someone you can pour your heart out to and you know they'll hold it gently and without judgement. Someone who knows how to melt away your stress. Someone wo challenges  you yet handles you with care. Someone who reminds you of your strength at your weakest points and you believe them. Someone who celebrates you and sings your praises, even when you're not around.                                  Someone who softens your heart when things get tough, but would go to war for you in a heartbeat. Someone who you can share your stories with, deepening your connection with every page. Someone who would never allow you to settle because their faith in you is unwavering. Someone you feel you've kn...

                                          Everything. Your highs. Your lows. Your happiest moments and the most painful ones. Your failures and  your success. Your losses and your gains. Just  remember-people can't come in and out of your life for no reason. The lessons you learn and the growth that you experience is never spontaneous. It's always meant to be. There's a higher purpose. A goal. A final destination; or a peal in your journey that you will have no idea of until you reach it. But for that- you need to climb the mountain. For that -you need to look for a deeper meaning . For that you need to pay attention to everything and everyone around you, especially those that love you and leave you. There are some lessons that only pain can bring out. There are some lessons that the biggest joys of your life will reveal to you. And there are some lessons that you never kne...

                                   The truth is, life will amaze you in the most stunning ways, and it will also break  your heart. Life will gift you the kinds of lessons that grow you and build you and help for you to bloom into the person you have always hoped to be, but it will also carry within it the kinds of losses that stay with you, that change you and mold you in uncomfortable ways. Life will demand for you to do the work, for you to understand  yourself, for you to heal even when it hurts. For you to be brave, for you to fight for yourself. At the end of the day, bravery isn't a battlefield. It isn't fast cars, or stunned risk. Bravery is the quietest thing you will ever know. Bravery is getting up in the morning  when your bones are heavy and heart does not want the light to crack within it. Bravery is leaning into what aches, it is looking it in the face, giving it a nam...

                                         You are still becoming who you were meant to be and this is also true: what if you don't always have to worry about becoming more of who you are? What is who you are right now is more than enough and it's just a matter of slowing down and realizing your worth? Learning to be still long enough to notice the grace that has always  been there? Forward movement is a beautiful thing. Many of us are desperate for a beautiful future and there is nothing wrong with that. And this is also true: there is nothing wrong with slowness. All around you in nature, a billion different things move at a slow pace, just as they are supposed to. No flower is rushing to be somewhere else. No wave is pushing its way to the shore before before  its time. Even when the rain pours down quickly, it took  time for that level of force to build up. Wherever ...

 I want you to know what it feels like to be in love with the life that you are living. I want you to know what it feel like to wake up in the morning and be grateful for another day, every day. I want you to have all of the energy you need to live the life you want to live. I don't want you to be scared of the unknown--I want you to see the unknown as a beautiful puzzle that you will be able to build on your own. You are capable of building your dream life--one that you look back on in the future and are completely in awe of. I don't want you to look back and regret not making the move you doubted you could do. You can do  anything. Start by believing in what you don't believe you are capable of. Start by letting go of the strings attached to your past. Start slowly. It won't happen all at once but it will happen as it needs to. Please, don't doubt yourself and remember you don't need anyone else to believe in you for your dreams to come true. You deserve to be...

  At the end of the day, I just want to be proud of the person I have become.  I want to be proud of the love I gave-of the way in which I risked my heart despite being hurt. I want to be proud of the effort I showed those I cared about; I want to know with a ruthless certainty that I showed up as much as I could, that I made people feel seen, that I made those around me feel less alone in this chaotic world. I want to be proud of my life-of the way I healed, of the way I made mistakes and learned from them, of the way I felt every thing even when it wasn't convenient or comfortable. I want to  be proud of the way I get, of the way I let go, of the way I pushed myself to be a better person. At the end of the day, I just want to be a able to say without hesitation that I lived my life, that I did not just take a back seat to my pain, or to my flaws, or to whatever hardships came my way. I want to be able to say that I am proud of the way I survived. I want too be able to s...

                                       There is a reason the sky gets dark at night. We were not meant to see everything all the time. We are meant to rest and trust under this bold, full dark sky. Because no matter how heavy the shadow fill the night, in time, we will see morning sunlight. We will see that even though we were tired, weary, and we could not see the ground beneath our feet, somehow, we still moved forward. We still pushed through. And it might take years to see how all of this comes together. We might not always see the pieces fall in place in the timeframe in which we desired. But this does not have to stop us from resting, and trusting that we will not always be here. We are not stuck at this  stage. As terrifying as they may be, our present uncertainties will not last forever. The pieces will come together in their time. We will grow in the way we were  meant ...

                                                                        Find a guy who calls you  beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty witjout makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you...The one who turns to his friends and says, ' that's her".

                                                     Release me From the prison, I've created, I wasn't forced to participate I entered of my own free will, But little did I know, How my life would go I've been stumbling uphill, Unable to find self-control, I swallow poison, And I know, I'm slowly killing myself, There's no one to blame, I look in the mirror, I am ashamed of my reflection, I want to explain, Everything I've done, My every wrong, I need to tell someone, But no one cares, They're too scared, I will outburst and swear, Here I am, At the doctors, Filling out a questionnaire, My last hope, Such despair, Asking for help, Release me, Please.

Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally.  Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. Even when a situation seems so personal,  it has nothing to do with you. What they say, what they do,  and the opinions they give are projections of their own  internal thoughts. Everyone has their own reality. When  we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our reality. When we take  something personally, we make the assumption that they  know what is in our reality, and we try to impose our  reality onto theirs. When we don't take things personally, if gives us more power over our thoughts, feelings, and  actions. When we don't take things personally, we  recognize the individuality of others and we can accept  that other people are different from us. We have little control over how others view us and relate to us. We  have more control over how we respond to...

                                           You haven't wasted time when things don't work out. Yes, time has passed, and you can't get it back, but now, everything that happened taught you: you are worth so much more than that. You have started to see that even though letting go was one of the hardest things you have ever had to do, now, you can focus on the path before you. Now, you can focus on the path before you. Now, you can now take  deep breaths knowing that the mere fact that you're here means your story isn't over yet. Today may look different from what you planned a year ago, and this is also true: through every change, now you know, the morning sun still shines. The moon still illuminates the evening sky. And every day, you are starting to see: love is still boundless and so much greater than you imagined it to be. You've had to say goodbye to so many things, and...

                                       You have come so far. You have learned to let go of what was not right for you. You have learned to step out of the boundaries of your worries, believing that in time, it all would be woven together beautifully. It has not been an easy road, but it has opened your eyes to all of the possibilities of what this life could be, even in your uncertainty. So continue to give your all. In all things great and small, continue to see that even in your thankless, unnoticed work, you are still sowing seed. You are still making mindful and intentional steps towards where you were meant to be. You are still living a life filled with  meaning. There might be days where you feel that your work is in vain, and there might be moments where you do not know what to do with all of  the sudden change, but you are wrapped in  endless, boundless grace all th...

  Most of my life has been spent trying to shrink myself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less me. Because I didn't want to be a burden. I didn't want to be too much or push people away. I wanted  people to like me. I wanted to be cared for and valued. I wanted to be wanted. So for years, I sacrificed myself for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, I suffered. But I'm tired of suffering, and I'm done shrinking. It's not my job to change who I am in order to become someone else's ides of a worthwhile human being. I am worthwhile. Not because other people think I am, but because I exist, and therefore I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. My voice matters. And with or without anyone's permission or approval, I will continue to be who I am and speak my truth. Even if it makes people angry. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave. I choose honor my feelings. I...

                                                                        The most attractive thing about you should have less to do with your face and body, and more to do with your heart and how you treat other people. Let's face it, we see an appearance first and have our first impression based on an appearance. Our appearance is where we can hide behind. But an appearance does not say anything about a character. Nowadays it seems that we judge each other on our appearance, who we are and what we stand for does not seem to matter. No effort is made to get to know the person behind an appearance. It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. Not our eyes. The whole world is in our minds. Learn to see things in prop...

                                               Everyone you meet is your mirror. Why is that? We come to understand ourselves best through our relationships with other people. We can only be triggered by something we have experienced  ourselves. The traits we tend to dislike in others are usually  the traits we do not like about ourselves. We then tend to judge and criticize these characteristics. This calls to mind the  analogy of pointing a blaming finger at someone. One finger is  pointing at another person, and three are pointing back to ourselves. When certain characteristics in someone's personality trigger a negative reaction from you, there is something within you that is coming up because it is ready to be healed. Usually, it represents issues from your past that have gone unresolved. An example of this would be constantly attracting people...

                                       I hope you know that you are deserving of everything you want in life. You deserve to fall in love with some- one who cares for you in the softest way, someone who drives you and believes in you and is always in your corner -- not just when it easy, but when it is  hard, too. You deserve to be that person for yourself as well. You deserve to be surrounded by people who grow your mind, people who make you better because  they push you to be better. You deserve that anything is  possible, the kind that empowers your voice and your ideas and your capacity to seek out the things that you desire. You deserve moments of pure and intense hap- piness, the kind that make you feel your heart beating against your chest, the kind that dizzy you and make you realize that everything will be okay. Because it will be. It will be. You deserve to be cho...
