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.

When I'm in a crowd of strangers, I feel a sense of freedom. It's like I can be myself without the weight of others' expectations. People don't know me, so they don't judge me. I can walk with confidence, without worrying about what others think. My thoughts are private, and I can keep them to myself.

In these moments, I feel a shift within me. I shed my anxieties and insecurities, and I can be whoever I want to be. It's liberating to know that my vulnerabilities are hidden, and I can create a temporary identity. I don't have to worry about my past or what others think of me.

When I'm around strangers, I feel like I have control over how much I reveal about myself. I can choose what I share, and what I keep to myself. It's like wearing a mask that protects me from getting hurt. My imperfections and wounds are hidden, and I can present a carefully crafted version of myself.

In these anonymous spaces, I find a sense of freedom. I can be myself, without fear of judgment or rejection. It's a feeling that's hard to find in everyday life, but it's there, waiting for me, in the midst of strangers.

A random statement I read while I was scrolling on my Instagram account has gave me this much realization about life;

The line says,

"The longer you stay in the wrong train, the more expensive it gets to go home."

How many times you choose to stay with people not because you are happy but just because you wanted to save the relationship?

Or, have you ever stayed at a certain place or situation while you're hurting but can't afford to leave because you're afraid of hurting the other person?

Reading the statement above has made me realize how important to be aware of our self-worth and our own happiness. When life isn't working out, it's time to make a change. Recognizing the signs and taking action can be tough, but it's necessary for growth. Bad habits, toxic relationships, unhealthy lifestyle, unrequited love, or addictions can hold you back and prevent you from reaching your full potential.

The longer you stay in a situation that's not serving you, the more you'll lose yourself. You'll waste time, energy, and opportunities that could be used to build a better life. But when you find the courage to break free, you'll discover new possibilities and experiences that can help you grow.

It's about being aware of your needs and desires, and making choices that align with your values and goals. It's not about being perfect; it's about being brave enough to take that first step towards a better life.

If you're feeling stuck or trapped to a certain people, places, relationship, or circumstances, you must find the courage to let go of that situation. Always remind yourself that you're not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help you. Knowing when to stay and when to stop is a form of self-care to find your real happiness. You must find a way out and make better choices. You deserve better! You deserve more! You deserve happiness and fulfillment. And it's okay to sometimes prioritize your peace and choose yourself, even it means leaving a certain people, things, or places.

How will you know if it's a real love?

I must say!

When you don't beg for attention. When you don't often ask for time. When things are not forced. When there is no confusion. When conversation comes naturally. And when things are freely given without asking. That's how you know when it's real love.

You don't always ask for the bare minimum— as it is willingly given.

There is always clarity. You don't take so much time second-guessing whether the person is into you, 'cause they'll always make it clear.

So If you're in a situation right now where you're always decoding the mix signals, and you're always playing the guessing-game to know the subtle signs? You better ask yourself if it's worth your time staying, or you might better off leaving.

Until they don't make it clear. And until it isn't communicated clearly— stop romanticizing every casual interaction. Sometimes, the lingering eye contact and flirty touches doesn't mean anything. As they always say,
"Never assumed unless otherwise stated", so always make sure to make space for healthy boundaries, or else, you'll end up hurting yourself, and drag it into another cycle of heartbreak.

A friendly reminder to always protect your peace!

There's something comforting about knowing that no matter what life throws at me, I still have soft spots for certain people and things. It's like having a secret stash of joy that even the toughest days can't touch.

I'm not a fan of waiting, but I'd stand in line for hours with the right people. I don't enjoy loud music or drinking, but I'll go to crazy lengths to see my friends happy, even if it means enduring a few days of ringing ears.

I've never been a fan of walking, but with the right company or on the right night, I'll stroll through the city, getting lost in the lights and energy. It's like my heart has a special reserve of feeling that's just for them – the people and moments that make me feel alive.

My biggest fear is losing that spark, becoming numb to the world. But it's reassuring to know that despite all I've been through, I can still let my guard down and feel deeply. For some people and moments, I'm willing to be vulnerable, to let go of my need for control and just be. It's a reminder that I'm still human, still capable of feeling the full range of emotions. And that's a beautiful thing.
