That kind of realization hit hard, when you realized—that some random people you meet in life are living a life as complex as you are— hiding their deepest pain behind smile, and wearing laughter to masked despair.

Every person that you crossed paths may laughed at the top of their lungs but are living a life too messy, and too complicated like your own.

We all have stories we didn't share with others, and we all have versions of us we didn't show to the world .

This leaves me thinking that kindness can go a long way!

And it reminded me of the beautiful quote from Matthieu Ricard's ( a French Buddhist Monk, and author):

"When you start to think about the pain and suffering of others, you realize that you are not alone in this world."

This quote caught me off guard, and taught me a lesson of how kindness and compassion can bring hope to those who are losing it.

We live in a world where happiness are masked with lies;

We smile to hide our pain.
We laughed to hide our suffering.
We took courage to hide our fears.

Oftentimes, we're afraid of sharing our grief to others because people tend to judged us instead of choosing to listen.

To you, who's afraid of sharing their stories. I hope you find the right people who's willing to share their compassion— people who would choose to understand, instead of people who judged, and people who's interested in reading every pages of your stories like a book instead of skipping some chapters of it. And if you don't find these people, I hope you find the courage to move on, and find the strength to still be kind.

There's a profound truth that we often overlook in our pursuit of happiness and connection. It's a truth that can only be learned through experience, and it's one that has the power to transform our lives forever.

One day, you'll come to realize that the moments that truly make life worth living are the ones you share with others. It's the laughter, the sunsets, and the lazy Sundays spent with people who see you, who hear you, and who understand you.

These moments are the oxygen that our hearts and souls need to breathe. They're the reminders that we're not alone in this crazy, beautiful journey called life. They're the threads that weave our lives together, creating a pieces of memories that we'll cherish forever.

But here's the thing: not everyone deserves to be a part of these moments. Not everyone deserves to share in your laughter, your sunsets, and your Sundays.

That's why it's so important to choose wisely who you share these moments with. Surround yourself with people who uplift you, who support you, and who make you feel seen and heard. People who will laugh with you, cry with you, and explore the world with you.

Because when you share your moments with the right people, something magical happens. Your heart and soul come alive. You feel a sense of belonging, of connection, and of purpose.

So, take the time to nurture these relationships. Invest in the people who make your life richer, fuller, and more meaningful. And don't be afraid to let go of those who drain your energy, who bring you down, and who make you feel small.

Remember, your laughter, sunsets, and Sundays are precious gifts. Share them with people who will cherish them, who will honor them, and who will make them even more beautiful.

In the end, it's not about the number of people you surround yourself with, but about the quality of those relationships. It's about choosing people who will breathe life into your heart and soul, and who will make every moment feel like a gift.

Ever wonder we meet some people in our lives but eventually leave when their purpose has been served?

It took me time to realize the reason behind it until I came across the concept of "The Bridge Theory".

Some people in our lives are not meant to journey with us to reach until our destination, sometimes, they are there to stay in the middle and help us cross the bridge from our past to our future, from our old self to who we are becoming, and from our bad decisions to making things better.

They were there to accompany us to make ourselves better. But once you already crossed that bridge, they eventually disappear.

How many people in your lives you have lost connections with?

An old friend, a former coworker, a college classmate, a former teacher, or a former church mate.

I know it pains us inside that out of all the happy memories we shared, we're now moving into a different direction—sadly, some have turned into a stranger.

But I realized, not because the connection has lost, does it mean they were a bad person, they were not. They were only meant to teach you a lesson until you finally figured out who you are.

So learn to appreciate your former coworker who taught you corporate skills, a former classmate who helped complete your projects, a former teacher who taught you so much about life skills, or a former church mate who brought you closer to God.

They were there for a reason. Perhaps, they were a fragments of yourself that makes every small pieces of who you are right now. So learn to appreciate those people. They might no longer be there in your future, but they played a big part to the person that you are becoming.

After I cut ties with someone, I noticed a significant changes in my life. From the way I look, the way I dress, the way I smile, the way I take care of myself, and the way I saw the world at large. I realized that the world is so wide to explore—I met new people, I traveled to different places, found new hobbies, and lived my life into a whole new level of different perspectives.

I finally found myself again after all!

It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe again. Time has taught me a valuable lesson: forcing things only leads to suffering. When I let go of the need to control every outcome, I found peace.

I've come to realize that happiness, love, friendship, pain, betrayal and healing all unfold in their own perfect time. Life is like the changing of seasons – each phase brings its own unique experiences and lessons. With each passing day, I grow wiser and more resilient. I've learned to trust time and let things unfold as they should.

I am way better now, as I should, and I hope you are too.

Crossroads: "The grass is greener on the other side."

What if my choices are different?

Crazy how we were haunted by our "What if" and "What could have been", if we only chose the different route instead of taking the choices we made today, or if we only have the privilege to make choices for ourselves.
Life could have been different, couldn't it?

You know how sometimes you take a detour and wonder what would've happened if you'd gone the other way? Or what your life would be like if you'd chosen a different career path, went to college, or moved abroad instead. I've been there too. It's natural to wonder about the what-ifs and maybes.

But I realized, every path we take has its own twists and turns, its own lessons and rewards. And no matter which road we choose, there will always be uncertainties and challenges. The good news is that every journey has its own beauty and value, and it's up to us to appreciate the one we're on.

It's like they say, "The grass is always greener on the other side." But what about the beauty of the grass you're standing on right now? Maybe the path you're on has its own unique views, its own special moments waiting to be discovered.

So, instead of getting caught up in what could've been, let's focus on making the most of where we are. Let's appreciate the journey, with all its ups and downs.

You're in the right place ! Just learn to find your "why". And you'll realize that you're exactly where you're needed to be.
