Give yourself time.

 "You're afraid because you can only measure what you will lose in the process, but you cannot see what you will gain." 

-Give yourself time. 

Note to self.

Forever and always

 Since I met you, until this day, there has not been a night on my soul that I did not love you." ♥️

From the very first moment we crossed paths, my heart found its home in you. 🌹

Each night, as the world falls silent and the stars light up the sky, my thoughts are consumed by the endless love I have for you. 🌌

Your love is not just a feeling; it's a rhythm that beats within my soul, a melody that plays softly even in my quietest moments. 🎶

Not a single night has passed without your presence filling the corners of my mind and warming my heart.

✨ You are my constant.

My first thought in the morning, and my last prayer at night.

The reason my heart races, yet feels at peace.

The one who turned ordinary days into timeless memories.

Every breath I take carries a whisper of love for you. 💖

Every moment apart deepens my longing to be with you.

And every time I close my eyes, it’s your face I see, your voice I hear, and your love I feel.

There’s something eternal about us—something that no distance, no time, and no silence can ever diminish. 🌹

I have loved you in ways words can’t describe, in moments only my heart can hold, and in dreams I never want to wake from.

Because loving you is not a choice; it’s the essence of who I am.

And as each night comes and goes, my love for you only grows deeper, stronger, and more beautiful than the last.

Forever and always, you are the light of my soul.

I'm slowly learning

I'm slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds.

Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers and don't expect people to understand where you're coming from.

I'm slowly learning that life is better lived when you don't center it on what's happening around you and center it on what's happening inside you instead.

Never again

 I will never explain my side again. you find that it was all my fault? then be it, i accept it. i'm done with explaining my side. I don't want to feel like i'm begging to be understood. never again

The older you get

 The older you get, the more quiet you become. Life humbles you so deeply as you age. You realize how much nonsense you've wasted time on. You start to accept things for what they really are. You stop forcing friendships and connections with people and you just learn to grow.

Being financially comfortable

 Being financially comfortable is enough for me. I don't have to be the richest, I just want to always be able to eat what I want, go where I want, pay my bills on time and live a good life.

I tried and tried

Before I gave up on you, I gave it my all. I tried and tried, and tried again to help you fix what was broken between us. You never cared and would shrug it off as if I was exaggerating, as if I was making a big deal out of nothing. That broke me down further. I was scared of being alone because I wasn't sure how I would function without you when you were all I was used to. And then it hit me, you gave me the best gift of all, a new perspective. I didn't want to feel disappointed, neglected and unloved anymore. I didn't want to feel as if anything I did wasn't good enough because I deserved to be happy, and that meant not settling for crumbs when I could have the whole cake. If you weren't going to make the effort, then I was going to do it for myself by walking away from someone who would never see my worth.

A new definition of self

 I had my own notion of grief.

I thought it was the sad time

That followed the death of someone you love.

And you had to push through it

To get to the other side.

But I'm learning there is no other side.

There is no pushing through.

But rather,

There is absorption.

Adjustment.

Acceptance.

And grief is not something you complete,

But rather, you endure.

Grief is not a task to finish

And move on,

But an element of yourself , 

An alteration of your being.

A new way of seeing.

A new definition of self ..

My thought

 If you’re going to fall in love with me then please love all of me. Don’t just love the side of me that’s sweet, the side of me that’s caring, gentle and happy. Fall in love with my hard edges too, with my grumpy moods, my sad nights, my jealousy attitude, my deepest insecurities. 🖤🦋

Loneliness is not being alone

 "Loneliness is not just the absence of people. It is the absence of purpose, the absence of meaning. When you find yourself in a world where everything seems alien and distant, where every connection is superficial, and every attempt at understanding is met with indifference, you realize that true loneliness is not being alone, but feeling alone in a world that no longer makes sense."

This is me

 I like eating alone, but I'm not lonely. I can be in the house whole day without wanting to go outside, but I love traveling and road trips. I can be a social person but don't like to deal with people in groups at the same time. Noises easily distracts me, but I am loud. And this is me. ✨

What to do with all this hurt

 “Everyone keeps telling me that time heals all wounds, but no one can tell me what I’m supposed to do right now. Right now I can’t sleep. It’s right now that I can’t eat. Right now I still hear his voice and sense his presence even though I know he’s not here. Right now all I seem to do is cry. I know all about time and wounds healing, but even if I had all the time in the world, I still don’t know what to do with all this hurt right now.”

As long as you have people who love you

 I've learned a lot this year.

I learned that things don't always turn out the way you planned or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or put back together the way they were before. I've learned that some broken things stay broken, and I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you.

We can make it through

I’ve learned that no matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope. I’ve learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can’t give up. We have to keep going. Even when it’s scary, even when all of our strength seems gone, we have to keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward, because whatever we’re battling in the moment, it will pass, and we will make it through. We’ve made it this far. We can make it through whatever comes next.

You think I'm angry

You think I'm angry, but you don't see,  

The weight I carry silently.  

It’s not the rage that fills my eyes,  

But tiredness in a thin disguise.

I'm not furious, but worn and torn,  

From dreams abandoned, hopes forlorn.  

I'm tired, I'm weary, I'm feeling lost,  

Paying life’s relentless cost.

I'm sinking deep in a sea of doubt,  

Crying softly, without a shout.  

Frustration builds, but not from hate

It’s the closed doors, the heavy weight.

I promised much, my dreams were bright,  

But now I battle every night.  

I want to give, to rise, to shine,  

But life’s harsh currents pull the line.

So when you see my weary stare,  

Know it’s not anger, but despair.  

I'm fighting hard to find my way,  

Hoping tomorrow’s a kinder day. 🥀🌷

I don't know what is ahead

I have lived at my lowest for a long time and even today, I still do. To be honest, my life is still circling on waking up and striving to go through the day. Each day, the universe gives me countless of patience test. Things don’t always turn out as planned and time doesn’t always go on my side. Sometimes the rain pours when I forget to bring an umbrella, the sun rises or sinks sooner than I expected, and people stay for a much shorter time than I wished they did. Most of the times tunnels seem endless making me feel like I’ll never get a glimpse of light again. But despite life’s unforgiving surprises, despite how draining a day can be, I still manage to get up the next day with a heart coated with a fresh pack of hope. 

You see, my life’s a mess; but I still know in my heart that better days will come. All the lows—heartbreaks, skipped meals, 2ams, goodbyes, all those years I’ve spent setting myself aside for others—I don’t think I’ve gone through all that for nothing. I know my suffering has a reward. I know my season will come. Until then, I’ll keep on trusting the universe.

Life is so unfair

Life is so unfair, right? people are so unfair. I mean u always think first about how they will feel if u do/say something but when it comes to you, it's okay for them to say/do everything without thinking abt your feelings.

Connection

Connection .. The energy that exists between people when they feel seen , heard and valued ; when they can give and receive without judgement ; and when they derive sustenance and strength from that relationship ...

I choose SILENCE

"I choose to love you in silence…

For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…

For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…

For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…

For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…

For in my dreams, you have no end."

Why don't others understand

 "Why does it always turn out wrong when I start consídering my feelíngs? When I start to express what bothers me? I always make them féel understood, don't I deserve a little understanding too?."

Try saying

 Try saying "I love you" instead of "love you."

Try saying "hello beautiful" when you answer the phone vs "do you need something".

Try saying "I miss you" instead of "miss you".

Try saying, "You should come with me" instead of "Come if you want."

Try saying, "I've made plans for us this evening," instead of "It doesn't matter to me, it's whatever you want to do." 

Sometimes it's not just the communication that is important ...... but it's how you communicate with the person you love that will make astronomical impacts in your relationship. 

Adulthood is hard

You know what’s the hardest part of adulting?

When you cry, sudden breakdowns, not because of lovelife, but because of responsibilities, expectations and disappointments.

When you know you're exhausted, but you can't have enough time to take a rest because there's a lot of things depending on you.

Keep on fighting!!! ❤🌻🦋

A bond that never dies.

 "And when we are old and you ask me:

How did we get here together?

I will answer you:

Because instead of yelling, we talk. Instead of running away, we seek solutions. Because everything and nothing was ours, because we cried and laughed together. Because one day we promised to be there in good times and bad, and above all, because love, over time, has grown into a bond that never dies.

Gratitude

Gratitude is the confidence in life itself... As gratitude grows it gives rise to joy. We experience the courage to rejoice in our own good fortune and in the good fortune of others... We can be joyful for people we love, for moments of goodness, for sunlight and trees, and for the very breath within our lungs. Like an innocent child, we can rejoice in life itself, in being alive.

Be the person who cares

Be the person who cares. Be the person who makes the effort, the person who loves without hesitation. Be the person who bares it all, the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling, or the intensity of their hope.

Be the person who believes — in the softness of the world, in the goodness of other people, in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting.

Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide. Be the person who makes people feel seen, the person who shows up.

Trust me when I say — be the person who cares. Because the world doesn't need any more carelessness, any more disregard; because there is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn't always been kind to them.

Sometimes "sorry" isn't enough

 Sometimes "sorry" isn't enough when the damage is already done, and the wounds run too deep, leaving scars that time alone cannot erase, and the weight of betrayed trust, shattered hopes, and broken promises hangs heavy in the air, a constant reminder of what could never be undone.

Apologies lose meaning when actions repeat the same harmful patterns, and words of regret ring hollow, failing to mend the fissures in relationships, or restore the innocence lost to deception, manipulation, or neglect.

In the aftermath of hurt, forgiveness is a journey, not a destination, requiring effort, empathy, and understanding from both sides, but even then, healing is not guaranteed, and the ghosts of past pain can linger.

The fragility of human hearts demands more than just empty apologies; it demands accountability, genuine remorse, and a willingness to make amends, to rebuild what was broken, and restore what was lost.

When "sorry" isn't enough, it's time to confront the consequences of our actions, to face the mirror of our own flaws, and to strive for redemption, not just forgiveness, but true transformation.🥀🌷

I'm in it for life

 "One of the Rare Ones"

It’s becoming so hard to find someone who will actually stay. Someone who won’t just walk away when things get tough.

People see someone beautiful and think it’s enough, but no one wants to build anymore. It’s easier to dismiss someone’s progress or worth than to face their own flaws.

I guess people don’t get enough thrill from lasting love these days. There's no thrill in hearing someone out, letting them finish what they're trying to say, before you argue against it.

That’s why you can’t find a truly good soul anymore.

I don’t need to go out with a different person every other week, chasing temporary happiness. That’s not for me. I’ve always wanted something real—someone who knows they’re worth lasting a lifetime with.

Someone who understands the time and effort it takes to build a bond instead of forfeiting when things get tough, just to come back later.

The older I get, the more impossible it feels to find someone who loves with their whole heart and soul.

I guess that’s why I consider myself one of the rare ones. I’m not just in it for a season, or the fun of the moment.

I’m in it for life.

Me time

 Sometimes when we are sad

All we need is another being 

just to sit with us and say nothing.

No words are needed as company

needs no dialogue, nor questions.

Sometimes we don't have answers 

because we are struggling to 

understand and absorb our feelings.

Some things are so heavy 

we feel unable to share our burden

So we simply sit and hold it 

for a while, suspended in the moment.

The warmth of someone sitting

right next to you, yet , 

asking nothing of you is enough.

'Your're not alone ' is not uttered

As we know, in that moment ,

we aren't alone ..

And that, in itself, is enough ...

I'm still here

Sometimes you have to make yourself unavailable to everyone for a while so that you can become available to yourself. Sometimes you have to shut the whole world out so that you can tend to your inner world. Sometimes you need to quieten all the noise so that you can hear the only voice that matters . . . the whisper of Love in your heart saying, "I'm still here."

Tips from Grandma ❤

Tips from Grandma ❤

Don't go where you're not invited.

Don't talk about what you don't know.

Don't open the fridge in other people's house.

Don't call someone after nine o'clock at night.

Don't visit someone at lunch.

Don't enter other people's bedroom without permission.

Always flush the toilet when you use it.

Always, always ~ speak the truth.

Please & Thank You are good words ~ use them often.

Love the soul of people, not their physical ~ it is what is inside that matters.

Be kind to your fellow humans & all living things.

Give from the little you have, expect nothing in return.

Be conscious of your words ~ they matter!

Wake up & be grateful.

Pray daily, because prayer brings peace to our heart & soul

Sorry I am done ✔️

If one day I stop communicating with you, don't worry, I don't hate you, maybe I got tired of catching your attention. Literally asked for the bare minimum, and you made me feel like I was asking for too much.

I noticed, but I didn't speak a thing, because I always try to understand even if it will hurt me.

A very successful woman

I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. 

She smiled and said to me.. 

“I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters. 

I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me..

I stopped fighting with my in laws..

I stopped fighting for attention..

I stopped fighting to meet public expectation of me..

I stopped fighting for my rights with stupid people..

I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight..

And I started fighting for 

my vision, 

my dreams, 

my ideas and 

my destiny. 

The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful.”

Some fights are not worth your time.

Choose what you fight for wisely.

What is Love?

Sex is not love, going on a date is not love

talking to someone 24/7 is not love ,staying up all night for someone is not love

Love is someone who sees that harsh side of you and still chooses to love you, someone who makes things happen for you when you can’t, someone who holds you and calms you down as tears pour out of your eyes, it’s someone voicing all the good things about you when all you see is the bad, it’s someone who makes sure you’re okay, it’s someone who thinks about you every night and every single day, it’s someone who’s constantly pouring themselves into you, that’s what love is.

Time flies

2025 is just 5 weeks away and 2019 was 6 years ago. Time really flies so fast , we’re not getting younger anymore. I hope we all win in life. Appreciate where you are in life and how far you’ve come. Gratitude attracts more blessings. 

Why people hold hands

 I understand why people hold hands: 

It is not about possessiveness, that says 

"this is mine".   It’s about maintaining contact, an intimate connection and sharing in its warmth. It is about speaking without words. It is saying, I want you with me

Gratitude

You can have broken things inside your heart and still have room for GRATITUDE.

but i caution you -

sometimes being THANKFUL

will make the hard things a little lighter.

and sometimes joy can even make the darkness lose its power.

Being a sensitive person

Being a sensitive person costs you a lot, you always try to hide your feelings, you always pretend that nothing happened in order not to be labeled as dramatic, nobody knows how details hurt you, nobody knows how much you will overthink a word told by a beloved person, nobody will ever understand how those tiny actions matter.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

The way you speak to your partner is how they will learn to speak to them.

How you make your partner feel special, is how they will learn to make their partner feel special.

How you talk to about your partner in front of your kids will show them how they should be spoken about by their partner.

Everything matters. But how you act with your partner leaves the biggest impact.

They are learning to love, how to love, by watching you.

Life has been a roller coaster

To my husband, who everyone calls when they need something but never to check up on you:

I'm so proud of you. I appreciate you and I’m thankful to have you by my side through thick and thin.

Life has been a roller coaster and God has closed doors to open even bigger ones for us and our family.

I'm so thankful for this life we're building together, I love you. 🤍

I feel so bad

Every morning when I wake up, I find my phone because that's the closest I have to you. I want to see you at first in the morning, or hear a voice note you telling me that you still love me with a small kiss at the end, or some paragraphs shouting out the feelings you have for me, and if anything is not possible, then a simple "I love you" would work. Because that's equal to a million paragraphs, thousands of voice notes, hundreds of kisses, and one glimpse of you.

If it's me glorifying my love, then let it be. I'm not settling for less, nor am I setting a bad example of how love should feel. It should feel like this: where you are wishing every morning for someone to come out of the screen and kiss you and leave you in a puzzle that can only be solved with them. This is what I believe in.

So remember, every morning when you wake up, there is someone out there waiting for your text, call, voice notes, and kisses to start their days. My days will be incomplete without having you either by side or you continuously making me feel loved through the only closest thing I have to you—this phone. 💕

"Modern love is all about wishing for technology to solve the issues for us to come together every day." ❤️

People who are by your side

At the end of the day, it's about the people who are by your side when life gets hard. It's about the people who are there when you need them the most.

It's about the people who say "we've got this" when you are facing challenges. It's about the people who notice when you're not yourself. It's about the people who check in on you when you have been more quiet than usual.

It's about the people you'd rather sit in comfortable silence with than make small talk with. It's about the people who raise an eyebrow and know you're lying when you say you are okay when you're not.

It's about the people who know your coffee order off by heart, and when you need one. It's about the people who text you to say they are thinking of you on the days that are difficult for you.

Put simply, it's about the people who think of you. It's about the people who notice. It's about the people who show up in the smallest but most meaningful ways. It's about the people who stay, through it all.

A mother

 A mother is always a mother. Her heart is forever bound to her children, no matter how many years have passed or how far life takes them from her. She worries when they’re young and helpless, and even more as they grow, stepping into a world that sometimes feels too big and too harsh.

Even when her children have families of their own, her instinct to protect, to care, never fades. She watches them navigate life’s challenges, often silently carrying their burdens, wishing she could ease every worry, every pain. Her heart aches with their disappointments and rejoices with their joys, as though they were still the little ones who looked to her for comfort and guidance.

Through every stage of their lives, a mother’s love remains constant, fierce, and unconditional. She may let go, but she never stops holding on, in her heart, to the precious souls she brought into this world.

Wisdom for Husbands! 💝😊

Dear husband, you have the power to make your wife the most loving, romantic, admirable, and beautiful woman on earth. Always take the time to ask her what you can do to make her happy. This simple question can have a profound impact on your relationship.

Shower her with your love and pamper her. Treat her with the utmost respect and dignity, always making sure that you are a source of joy, not pain. Make her happy, ensuring she never regrets marrying you. Remember, never compare her to anyone else, living or dead, as every person is unique and deserves to be loved for who they are.

Stay faithful to her. Cheating is never the answer. Everything you desire in another woman, your wife possesses as well. Don’t risk your marriage for a fleeting moment of pleasure. Violence should never be an option. Never hit her, no matter what happens. Real men do not beat women.

Take the time to understand her love language. Whether it’s through words of affirmation, gifts, physical touch, acts of service, or quality time, make sure you express your love in the way she best receives it. Always be her defender, never allowing anyone, even family members, to insult her or make life difficult for her.

Treat her with gentleness and tenderness. Make her your priority and be 100% committed to her. Keep her in your prayers always, and create a joyful, playful environment at home. Listen to her attentively, putting down your phone and truly engaging with what she has to say.

Be ready to forgive her, no matter the offense, because love forgives. Support her visions and dreams, never stifling her aspirations because of your marriage. Be her biggest cheerleader and supporter. Protect her from harm, both physical and spiritual, and fulfill her sexual needs, never denying her your intimacy.

Always remind her how beautiful she is. Celebrate her achievements and presence both online and offline. Invest in her, spending money on things that make her feel special and beautiful. Treat her as your beauty queen and give her thoughtful gifts regularly. Consider items like new undies, bags, shoes, clothes, creams, perfume, chocolate, fruits, cakes, ice cream, shortbread biscuits, or other snacks she loves.

Take my advice, follow these principles, you will nurture a loving, joyful, and strong marriage. Your wife will feel cherished and valued, and your relationship will thrive.

Silence is precious gift

In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.

My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.

So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.

Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.

Appreciate the effort of others

 Appreciate the effort when someone gives their all to make you feel special and cared for.

Not everyone will go above and beyond to show you love and make you feel valued.

Efforts like that are rare, and they deserve recognition before they begin to fade. Because no matter how much someone cares, if their constant efforts go unappreciated, it can slowly push them away.

Just feel love

"My best friend once asked me,

“How can you tell if a person genuinely loves you?”

I replied,

“Maybe you just feel it. Maybe through the effort they put in your bond”

He said,

“Time. You know that a person loves you by how much time they give you.

When a person decides to sit and see you cry for hours rather than being somewhere else.

The phone calls,

The long conversations, 

The texts.

No one would voluntarily invest their time in you over and over if they didn’t genuinely love you.”

And that has been one of my major standards for love ever since." 

YOU CAN’T BE EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA OR COFFEE:

There will always be someone in this life who just doesn’t like you, no matter how hard you try to please them.

There will always be something that you say, or do, which causes offence or division.

Whether you meant to or not.

There will always be someone who finds fault in you, your life or your words.

You may never find out why, please don’t waste your precious time trying to.

You can’t be everyone’s cup of tea or coffee.

Then there will be those who like you on impact.

A little fizz of energy that passes between you.

Silently, unseen, bonding.

Those people will not only like you but they will like you fiercely.

They are your people.

Whatever spare time you have, spend it on them.

You can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but you can be someone’s first sip of a cold drink on a sunny day…

Or a warming hot chocolate when you come in from the rain

or the pop of a long awaited champagne cork

or a stiff shot of tequila when things go awry

Find your people,

love them hard.

Your partner should give you peace of mind and reassurance, not constant little heart attacks and high anxiety.

BE YOURSELF and JUST BE

 “You are never meant to fit in. YOU are a messenger of LOVE. Its ok if others can not understand you. you are not responsible for what others think about you. You are responsible only for you and your own peace. do not let others own your peace and happiness. BE YOURSELF and JUST BE.”

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?

Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting tendencies?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

You chose to let me go

You chose to let me go,

Ignoring my needs, disregarding my soul.

Your actions spoke louder than words,

Leaving me no choice but to distance and heal.

Don't come crawling back,

With regretful tears and sorrowful sighs.

You can't miss what you didn't value,

What you carelessly discarded, like a fading light.

You're not entitled to my presence,

After tearing our connection, leaving only silence.

You can't long for what you broke,

What you shattered, leaving my heart to ache.

Your choices had consequences,

Leaving me no option but to move on.

I won't be your convenience,

Your emotional crutch, your safety net gone.

Respect my boundaries,

Let me heal without your guilt.

You had your chance,

But chose to let me go, into the night.

I'm moving forward,

Leaving the past, where you'll remain.

Memories fade,

And I won't look back.

I've found my strength,

My voice, my way.

You're just a memory,

Fading away.

Closure is mine,

This is goodbye.

A chapter closed,

A new life to apply.

At the end

At the end of the day, it’s more important to live a happy life than to chase society’s idea of success. Success looks different for everyone, and sometimes, just finding peace and joy in your own life is the greatest success of all. 

People change

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Demanding world

When the world is too demanding.

And people are too harsh.

Your heart may feel heavy, but you cannot shut out the love still burning inside. Your light will keep shining. Don't be discouraged, keep sharing your love. The world needs you to make a difference. 

May you get loved the way you've always wanted

May you find someone who texts you in the middle of a busy day not only when they're free.

May you find someone who calls you beautiful even when you don't feel that yourself.

May you find someone who calls you when they are around people not only when they are lonely.

May you find someone who pushes you to be better even if you'll be better than them.

May you find someone who sees you the best person even in your lowest states.

May you find someone who loves you in all your phases and moods.

May you get loved the way you've always wanted. 

Imperfect

Imperfect  ... that's us and the world. 

So, don't be scared to admit your mistakes.

Take ownership that you will try and do better.

Don't stay down, miserable and hopeless. 

Keep trying to be a better version of yourself. 

Offer kindness to everyone. 

In doing that, you are giving others hope to carry on.

Start with smiling face 🌝

As the stars begin their glow,

I let the day's last moments flow.

Watch over me, this heart, this mind,

For in this rest, I hope to find

A little more of life’s grand grace,

To greet tomorrow with a smiling face.

Joy

Joy is the quiet glow that lives in the heart, waiting to be discovered. It’s not found in grand achievements or perfect moments, but in the simple beauty of the everyday—a child’s laughter, sunlight through the trees, the first sip of morning tea.

Joy doesn’t demand perfection or ask for conditions; it invites you to pause, breathe, and see the world as it is—a gift unfolding, moment by moment. It’s the warmth of connection, the spark of gratitude, and the whisper of life reminding you, “This, right now, is enough.”

Let joy guide you like a gentle melody, even in the hardest times. Seek it in the small things, and it will grow, filling your life with light.

Wealth isn't measured

There are people you will meet in this life that will leave that everlasting impact in your life.

I don't know why but life always make them come at our lowest and lift us up.

Maybe it's because that's when life chooses to give us another chance, or maybe it's the time destiny had planned for them to come into our lives so we can see and better appreciate the change they will bring.

They might not necessarily bring money, but they can bring a whole new beginning. 

Bring you true love, loyalty, faithfulness, peace, Goodluck, positive energy, support, trust, believe, understanding, connection, happiness, recommendations, hope, and a whole lot more.

These are the type of people that makes you feel rich, even when you have zero account balance. After all, wealth isn't measured only by the amount in your account but by the type of people you have around you.

You are not broken

 Always remember 

‘When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently. 

Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning. 

Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in. And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness. 

We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong.

You are not broken; you are breaking through.’

Be aware

Be aware of the people you surround yourself with.  Don't let jealousy steal your joy.  Focus on building genuine connections, and you'll find the true friends who celebrate your success.

LIFE IS SHORT, SO ENJOY IT!

The day barely starts, and suddenly it’s evening. Monday turns into Friday, and before we know it, the year is almost over. Time flies, and we lose loved ones—parents, friends—until we realize it’s too late to turn back.

So, let’s make the most of the time we have left. Find joy in the things we love, add color to our grey days, and appreciate the small moments that fill our hearts with love.

Let’s stop putting things off. Waiting for “later” means missing the best moments—family time, friendships, experiences. "Later" isn't guaranteed. 

Life moves fast: priorities shift, health fades, kids grow, parents age, promises are forgotten. One day, it’s too late to do what we should have done or said.

The time is now. The day is today. Life is a short trip—so live it fully while you can, because there’s no turning back.

Being strong

❤️😊

Being strong is not something that is always clear to me. It is something that I learned along the way, in moments where I had no other option. 

I remember when everything seemed to fall apart. The expectations I had for life were not met, and the people I trusted the most disappointed me. It was there that I understood that I couldn't depend on others to feel complete or safe. I learned that true strength is born when you face loneliness, and instead of feeling weak, you decide to turn that loneliness into your ally. 

Life taught me that pain is not an enemy. He taught me that crying does not make you less strong. On the contrary, it gives you the ability to feel deeply and heal. In every tear lies a lesson, a reminder that, after the storm, calm always comes. 

Being strong is not about keeping quiet about what hurts you. It is about speaking firmly about your fears and accepting them. It's not about pretending that everything is fine. It's about accepting that there are bad days, but not letting those days define you. 

I have learned that it is not about not falling, but about how you get up. And you don't always do it immediately. Sometimes, it takes time, but the important thing is not to stay on the ground. I have fallen many times, and I have stumbled over my own mistakes and the difficulties that life has put in front of me, but each time, I have gotten up more confident in who I am. 

Being strong is understanding that self-love is the basis of everything. You can't expect others to fill the gaps that only you can fill. I learned to be my best friend, to be kind to myself on my worst days, and to celebrate every little achievement because it's those moments that remind me how much I've grown.

What taught me to be strong was life itself, with all its imperfections and challenges. Although I still have a lot to learn, I know that as long as I maintain that inner strength, I can handle anything that comes.😊😊☺️☺️🌼😊🌹🌹🥀🥀

Best friends

Best friends are the ones who stay when the crowd thins, who listen when no one else hears, and who lift you up when you feel like falling. They're not just there for the good times—they’re the light in your darkest moments.

Choose people who treat you like a priority

Let November be the month when you stop forcing people to choose you. If someone thinks they can get better elsewhere - let them.

Choose people who treat you like a priority, not an option.

Embrace the freedom and potential

If you can’t find true love, focus on working hard, earning money, and enjoying the peace of single life. No one has ever died from being single, but many have suffered for staying with the wrong partner. Life is too short to waste on the wrong relationships. 

Prioritize your happiness and peace over forcing something that isn’t right. Embrace the freedom and potential that comes with being on your own.🥀🌹

Find a healthy balance and enjoy your life

Take some time to rest and recover. You don't always have to be so busy or pushing yourself so hard. Step back and take care of yourself. Those moments of rest will add value, energy, purpose, and creativity to everything you do. Find a healthy balance and enjoy your life.

Grand hall of life

We all dance through the grand hall of life, never knowing when the music will fade. Yet, one thing is certain—it won’t play forever. Every step we take, every twirl we make, is singular, never to be repeated.

So make each dance meaningful.

Find joy in the simple moments.

Be kind, generous, and thoughtful.

Let love be the rhythm that guides your every move.

Forgive swiftly, love deeply.

Recognize the impact you leave on the world and on those around you.

Though the dance may be fleeting, it can be filled with grace and purpose. Live each day with passion, and ensure your final dance is a celebration of a life beautifully lived.

Quote

 Someone told me "whenever your life is feeling stagnant or as if nothing is happening, that means you're being given the time & space to heal & release the baggage that you cannot carry to where you're meant to go soon." & I haven't looked at shit the same since.

To the people who are emotionally sensitive

To the people who are emotionally sensitive, who care so much about everything no matter how hard they try not to, who notice even the smallest things and take everything to the heart, the struggle is valid. I hope you get surrounded with people who are kind enough to understand you and even if you can't expect everyone to adjust for you, I hope you get extra patience from this world.

I no longer want to understand everything

 I no longer want to understand everything and pretend that it's okay. I'm tired of hating myself. I no longer want to care about the bad things that people say to me, then hate myself after that. I've come to realize that what matters most is what I think about myself. I believe that I am a good person. I am loving and kind, and there is nothing to be ashamed of about myself. I'm done being selfless. I want to care about myself too. I'm tired of trying to understand everything and trying to care for everyone. I get hurt too easily. I wish I could stop caring too much. I'd like to take care of myself too and find reasons to love myself again.

To older people

"And when we are old and you ask me:

How did we get here together?

I will answer you:

Because instead of yelling, we talk. Instead of running away, we seek solutions. Because everything and nothing was ours, because we cried and laughed together. Because one day we promised to be there in good times and bad, and above all, because love, over time, has grown into a bond that never dies.

Choice wisely 👌

I understand people who choose to keep all their problems to themselves instead of reaching out to others for help. I understand them for choosing to be alone instead of being around with people. Some people might never understand, but I know that they don't want to reach out because they are afraid to be invalidated. What people don't know is that they've already heard enough from toxic people. They've already been told that their problems are nothing compared to those of other people. They've already been told that it's just in their heads. That what they feel is not even a big deal because some people are going through the same thing. You see, some people are secretly dying inside, but they still continue to hide it because not everyone will understand them. You can't really blame those people who chose to keep their feelings to themselves because I know somehow that they've tried to talk about their feelings to someone, yet some people made them feel like their feelings were so unimportant. It's sad to think that some people have to face all their battles alone because they do not receive the support that they need. And it's sadder because the ones that we are hoping to understand us better are sometimes the first to make us feel invalidated.

No one changes unless they want to

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There's only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to do it. And there's only one time it will happen: when they decide they're ready.

Be kind to yourself every day

Be kind to yourself because sometimes, the world will not treat you the way you want to be treated. Sometimes, the world will never adjust for you. You have to treat yourself right, especially when no one else can do it for you. You have to stop expecting people to return the kindness that you show them, and you have to keep in mind that not everyone can appreciate you. Be kind to yourself on the days where you feel like the world has forgotten you. Be kind to yourself on the days where you feel like no one in this world cares for you. And finally, be kind to yourself on the days where other people are treating you poorly. Not everyone can be kind to you, but at least you try to be kind to yourself every day.

Embrace the unnoticed moments

Sometimes, the happiest moments in life are the quiet, unnoticed ones. In the rush of our daily routines, it's easy to overlook the simple joys that make life extraordinary. Whether it's the warmth of a morning sunbeam, the comfort of a shared smile, or the calm of a peaceful evening, these subtle experiences often hold the key to our deepest contentment. 

Pause and take a moment to truly see these small but significant aspects of your life. By appreciating the little things, you can find a profound sense of happiness and fulfillment. Embrace the unnoticed moments—they may just turn out to be the most treasured parts of your journey.

Dedicated to all lucky fathers blessed with daughters

A Pregnant Woman to her husband:

 What you are expecting - 

will it be a boy or girl?

Husband- "If we have a boy, I'll teach him maths, we will go for sports, I will teach him fishing and so on."

Wife - "Ha.. Ha.. And what if its a girl?"

Husband - If we have a girl.. I'll not have to teach her anything. Because she will be the one who will teach me all the things, again..like how to dress, how to eat, what to say, what not to say.. In short, she will be my second mom and She will consider me as her hero even if I do not do anything special, she'll always understand when I'll refuse her for something. She'll always compare her husband to be me.. No matter how old she will be, she'll always want that I should treat her like my baby doll.. She'll fight with the world for me and if someone will hurt me, she will never forgive that person.

Wife - "So you mean to say that your daughter will do all those things but your son will not?"

Husband - "No.. no! May be he will do the same but he will learn to do them. But daughters are born with it. Being the father of a daughter is the pride for any man."

Wife - "But, she will not be with us forever."

Husband - "Yes, but we will be with her, in her heart, forever. So it really doesn't make a difference where she goes."

Daughters are Angels... Born with Unconditional Love & Care...Forever. ❤️ 💞✨

Treasure

Treasure what's before you now in this moment, because in the end this is what you have, what you share, what you take with you ... a lifetime of exquisite, sometimes tough, often tender, yet unimaginable moments. 

Time and attention are beautiful blessings to hold dear to your heart and honor with your soul. 

Choose your partner wisely 😉

Choose your partner wisely and know your worth.

Choose someone who brings you peace of mind and happiness, not someone who adds stress with constant lies and excuses.

Choose someone who values your time, making an effort to show you that you’re important and ensuring you never feel lonely in the relationship.

Choose someone who keeps their promises, honoring their words to make you feel safe and secure in their presence.

Above all, choose someone who stays;a partner who is committed and ready to share the rest of life’s journey with you.

Quotes

If someone treats you badly, just remember that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don’t go around destroying other human beings.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗡𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗳𝗲

There is no such thing as a perfect wife. Every woman brings her own strengths, and choosing the right partner means accepting her unique qualities, along with the compromises that come with them.

If you choose a working woman, you must understand that she cannot dedicate all her time to managing the household. Her career requires attention and energy, and balance is key. On the other hand, if you choose a housewife, who takes full care of you and the home, you must accept that she is not contributing financially.

If you choose a submissive woman, you need to recognize that she may rely on you more for decision-making and guidance. But if you prefer a brave, independent woman, you must accept that she has her own thoughts, is strong-willed, and may not always conform to traditional roles.

If you choose a beautiful woman, it often comes with the reality that maintaining that appearance can be costly. Likewise, if you choose to be with a great woman, one who is driven and confident, you must understand that she will be firm and unyielding in her beliefs.

No woman is perfect. Every woman has her own strengths and flaws, and these qualities define who she is and make her unique. Instead of seeking perfection, embrace the individuality of the woman you love and appreciate the beauty in her imperfections.  ✨️ 

Real Talk...

Let Them Talk—You’ve Got a Show to Run

Let’s face it: People are going to judge, misinterpret, and gossip about you no matter what. It doesn’t matter if you’re living your best life or just minding your business—someone will always have something to say. So why stress about it? Why not give them a show to talk about?

Here’s the thing: The more you try to play it safe or cater to others’ expectations, the more miserable you’re going to be. You can’t control what people think, but you can control how you show up. So, why not make it worth their gossip? Live fully as yourself, with all your quirks, flaws, and fabulousness, and let them watch.

People are going to talk either way. Might as well give them something worth talking about. Dance like no one’s watching, wear that bold outfit, speak your mind, and live your life on your terms. The haters? Well, they’ll be too busy trying to figure you out, and you’ll be too busy living your best life to care.

Remember, it’s your life, not a performance for other people’s approval. So, turn the spotlight on you, make your own rules, and enjoy the show. Let them talk. You’ve got a show-stopping life to live, and they’re just lucky to have front-row seats.

And, look good doing it! ❤️💋

I do not hate

 ...I don't hate. I do not poison my soul by hating someone. I prefer indifference. It is cleaner, more comfortable, more effective. And I choose the smile. It is more elegant, more striking, wiser. I'd rather walk away, not complain, shut up, learn my lesson. And not to forget. Because I am a strong woman, I tell myself: tomorrow I cry, today I have work.❤ 

Believe them both

 There’s a man who might say she’s crazy, emotionally unstable, and aggressive. Yet, another man will tell you he’s never felt more appreciated and respected, that she’s created the safest space for him, and that being with her makes him feel nurtured, cared for, and at peace.

Believe them both! 💯

The woman you see is a reflection of how she’s treated. If you approach her with confusion, gaslighting, or inconsistency, it’s no wonder she might seem erratic. But if you come with clarity, and leadership, and create a safe space, you’ll see a completely different side of her.

May you

May you find someone who texts you in the middle of a busy day not only when they're free.

May you find someone who calls you beautiful even when you don't feel that yourself.

May you find someone who calls you when they are around people not only when they are lonely.

May you find someone who pushes you to be better even if you'll be better than them.

May you find someone who sees you the best person even in your lowest states.

May you find someone who loves you in all your phases and moods.

May you get loved the way you've always wanted. 

Quote for the day ✨️

 When someone asks me, "Why are you always appreciative and grateful for the little things?" I answer, "I grew up eating what was on my plate and wearing what my parents could afford. That's how I learned to be grateful and appreciative."

If i had a chance to change my past

"If I had the chance to go back in time and see the people I'd love to see again, I'd want to see my YOUNGER SELF. I want to hug and tell that little me that it's okay to be imperfect. Thank you for being resilient, thank you for being joyful despite lacking many things. You may not have everything, but what you have is precious. Because of you, I've succeeded and become happy, with a FAMILY I never thought I'd have."❣️❣️❣️

Things that you should know

Important things to remember when you are married or in a serious relationship:

Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved.

Date nights are a must.

Doesn’t matter if you go out, or stay in.

Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.

Learn each others love language.

We all don’t perceive love the same way.

Go to bed mad sometimes.

Don’t force a resolution.

Sleeping on it does help.

When you get into a fight, don’t just say “I’m sorry”. Say what you are sorry for, and how you will react differently next time.

It will get boring sometimes.

Every couple goes through the “boring” stage.

It’s normal.

It will fade.

This is the time in your relationship you will have to put the most effort in.

Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.

It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.

It’s okay to go to couples counselling.

It helps.

It doesn’t mean you two are ending, or failing.

Talk about money.

Talk about your financial goals.

Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.

Turn off the phones an hour before bedtime and just talk to each other.

Ask questions like

“What do you need to see more of from me?”

“How can we understand each other better?”

And most importantly, be kind to each other.

Love each other.

Fight for each other.

Remember, love is never easy, and it’s one hell of a ride.

But damn, is it ever beautiful, and worth it. ❤️

The older we get

The older we get, the more we realize the importance of true friendships. As we grow, meaningful friendships become even more valuable. We naturally become more selective, prioritizing genuine friendships that add value to our lives. Over time, our social circle may get smaller, but the quality of friendships matters more than ever. 

It's not about how many friends you have—it's about surrounding yourself with people who uplift you, support your growth, and genuinely care. ❤🌻🦋

Life may never be as easy

There are days when all you want is to disappear, when the weight of everything feels too heavy to carry. 

But then, out of nowhere, you catch yourself laughing at a friend’s story, savoring the comfort of your favorite meal, or simply breathing in the calm of the evening air as you walk home. It’s in these fleeting, almost unnoticed moments that life gently nudges you, reminding you that even in the darkest times, there are still tiny glimmers of light that make holding on worth it.

Life may never be as easy as we hope, and its challenges can feel relentless, but sometimes, it’s the smallest joys that breathe life back into you. A kind word, a shared laugh, or the quiet peace of a sunset—they have a way of reminding you just how good life can still be, even when everything feels like it’s falling apart. 

And maybe, that’s the beauty of it: knowing that no matter how lost you feel, these moments will always be there to pull you back.

Relationships come and go

After all these years, I've learned that sometimes life doesn't revolve around love and relationships. It's about finding your own path, your own purpose. Sure, love is great, but it's not everything. There's more to life than chasing after someone else's affection. It's about discovering who you are, what you want, and what makes you tick. 

Relationships come and go, but the relationship you have with yourself is the one constant. Focus on your own growth, your own happiness. Love will find its place, but don't let it be the center of your universe. There's a whole world out there waiting for you.

Jealousy

 Jealousy is a funny thing. It sneaks in quietly, making you compare yourself to others and question your own worth. ⁣

⁣

⁣

But let’s pause for a moment. Have you ever stopped to ask why you feel jealous?⁣

⁣

⁣

Let's be real, jealousy often isn’t about the other person. It’s a sign that you’re not fully stepping into your own unique strengths and gifts. ⁣

⁣

⁣

It’s like planting a seed but never watering it, then getting upset when someone else’s garden starts to bloom.⁣

⁣

⁣

Let me paint a scenario to help you better understand this complex emotion. ⁣

⁣

⁣

There are two female bakers at a community fair. One is known for her perfectly decorated cakes, and everyone seems to rave about them. ⁣

⁣

⁣The other baker, watching from the sidelines, feels a twinge of envy. “Why is everyone talking about her cakes?” she wonder, feeling overlooked.⁣

⁣

⁣

But here’s the catch, the second baker isn’t even passionate about cake decorating. She makes the best pies in town, so flaky and flavourful that people would drive miles to get one. ⁣

⁣

⁣

Yet, instead of focusing on what she does best, she's caught comparing her cake to someone else’s.⁣

⁣

⁣

Sound familiar?⁣

⁣

⁣

Jealousy is often a sign that you’re looking at someone else’s lane instead of focusing on your own. ⁣

⁣

⁣

The more you embrace your authentic self - your unique skills, passions, and strengths - the less room there is for envy. ⁣

⁣

⁣

Why? Because when you operate in your full, authentic self, you’re too busy thriving to feel threatened by someone else’s success.⁣

⁣

⁣

It’s not about outshining anyone; it’s about being so confident in your light that you’re not even checking who’s holding the brightest torch. ⁣

⁣

⁣

Remember, no one can do you better than you. You’re uniquely wired for the impact you’re meant to make.⁣

⁣

⁣

So, the next time jealousy tries to creep in, stop and ask yourself, “Am I fully showing up as my authentic self?” ⁣

⁣

⁣

If not, it’s time to shift the focus back to nurturing your own gifts. That’s where your magic lies.⁣

⁣

⁣

Dear friend, stay true to yourself, and let the world catch up!⁣

Reassuring than knowing

There is nothing more reassuring than knowing that however the day turns out, no matter how messed up you look and how much baggage you carry, there will be arms waiting to welcome you with warmth. There will be hands that’ll gently pat your back to tell you that you did a great job. A tight hug to keep you together, a long mark on your forehead to kiss your tangled thoughts goodbye.

There’s nothing more reassuring than coming home to someone. Knowing at the end of the day, even when you didn’t feel like your best and everything just feels too much, there’s a home that’s waiting for you. There’s a small space where you are safe and loved.

Just open up

Most of us can't openly tell our problems to people because we’re afraid. We’re afraid for them to think that we are just being dramatic. We never reach out for help because we fear for someone to invalidate our feelings. We don't want to be called as someone who only needs pity. That's the last thing we want to hear.

Most of us never talk about how not okay we are because we never want to see that people just listen, but never really care. So most of us always choose to keep it all inside. Most of us struggle alone. Most of us have so much pain to suffer, but never ever dared to talk about it to anyone.

Learn not to wait

 Learn not to wait for a phone call, a message, a glance, a smile. 

Learn not to wait for someone who slowed down because they wanted to lose you.

Learn not to wait for someone who forgets where they left you.

We wait for trains, planes, buses. We wait for vacations, the release of a new movie. We even wait for rain. But not for someone who doesn’t want to be there.

Because, you see, by waiting for those who have forgotten us, you lose those who are truly seeking only you.”

To my Husband

 To my husband,

I know you’re tired, i know you’re stressed out about work and the responsibilities of providing for our family, but i need you to know that we are so proud of you. 

I want you to know that i see you. i see everything you do for us and our family. i choose you and forever will every single day and i’m proud to call you mine. 

Feelings for you

I will never change my feelings for you. 💖

Through every storm and sunshine, every high and low, my love for you remains unwavering. No matter where life takes us, my heart will always beat for you, with a love that’s deep, true, and everlasting.

It’s a promise sealed within my soul. A vow that no matter how much we grow, how much we learn, or where the roads of our journey may lead, my feelings for you will stay the same—constant, unchanging, and full of affection.

You are my forever. You are my always. And this love, this beautiful connection we share, is something I will hold onto and cherish every single day of my life. Because loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done, and my heart could never wish for anything different.

As the years pass

As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.

The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life that are the real ones, after all.

Wait for the person who is kind

Wait for the person who is kind, not just when everything is going well, but when life gets tough too. Wait for someone who respects your boundaries and never pushes you to do things you're not comfortable with. Someone who doesn’t keep score of their good deeds, who challenges you to think deeper and grow, and inspires you to be better. Find the one who takes time to understand you and is consistent in showing how much they care. Wait for the one who wants to share their life with you and invites you to be part of theirs.

Want to feel that somebody cares for me

I just want to feel that somebody cares for me. Sometimes I just need some kind people to survive the day. I need people who will make me feel loved and valued. Life is tough, and sometimes all I need is someone who will make me feel that I still matter in this world. That I still need to stay and be alive. That I still need to continue chasing my dreams. Sometimes, I just want to feel that I am enough. I just want to feel that I am worthy. Because most of the time, I hate myself and feel like I am a failure. I just want to learn to accept and love myself. And someday, I hope I'll learn to be happy too. I wish all the bad things that I say to myself would be forgotten too.

Suddenly you realize that you are not really Okay

 Sometimes, you will suddenly realize that you are not really okay; you are just busy distracting yourself from the things that make you sad. Some nights, you will just lie awake in bed and cry silently. You will find yourself feeling tired of everything. You suddenly think about the things that hurt you before, which you thought you'd already forgotten and healed. Your heart will ache again, even though you've already tried your best to heal it for so long. And then it hits you— you are still that fragile person who has long forgotten how to be happy.

My favorite person

To my favorite person,

I know that a person like me is sometimes hard to love. A person like me needs someone who can be patient with me. A person like me needs someone who can understand me constantly. But thank you for staying with me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally.

Sometimes I thought I am the worst and most worthless person, but you came to me and made me feel loved. I've seen it with my eyes, you know how to treasure me without forcing you to do it. You constantly remind me with your love. Thank you for simply existing in my life. You never fail to make me feel valued. I am always grateful to have you by my side.

My favorite person, you are the most beautiful gift that I've received from God. I want to take care of you and keep you forever. I hope you will always stay. I hope you never change. And I hope your love will never fade.

Appreciate the person who believed in you

If you truly value the person who stood by your side when you had nothing, stop taking their loyalty for granted.

Stop seeking excitement or attention from those who don’t know your struggles, while neglecting the one who stayed through the tough times. A partner who loves you for who you are, not for what you can offer, deserves your full appreciation. They’re not asking for riches or status, they just want your time, attention, and effort, the things that truly matter.

Appreciate the person who believed in you when no one else did. The praise or attention you might receive from others may feel thrilling in the moment, but it’s fleeting. It quickly fades, while the person who was there during your hardest days is still offering you something real and enduring.

This is someone who loves the real you; flaws, imperfections, and all; not just the image you project to the world. They’ve seen your vulnerabilities, your challenges, and your fears, and yet, they chose to stay. That kind of devotion is rare, and if you don’t recognize its value now, you may come to regret it when it’s gone.

Don’t let distractions or temporary temptations take you away from the one who was there when you had nothing. Value and appreciate the person who’s always had your back, because someone like that is hard to find, and even harder to replace.

Work on yourself

 "I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.

I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead.

Work on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life."

Relationship policy

How to keep a relationship:

Be honest.

Build trusts.

leave the past.

Communicate.

Appreciate flaws.

Become best friends.

Be there for one another.

Talk about good and bad.

Make time for one another.

You won't always be happy.

Having arguments are normal.

Love each other unconditionally.

Be unavailable

 Sometimes you have to make yourself unavailable to everyone for a while so that you can become available to yourself. Sometimes you have to shut the whole world out so that you can tend to your inner world. Sometimes you need to quieten all the noise so that you can hear the only voice that matters . . . the whisper of Love in your heart saying, "I'm still here."

Women

 Women can deal with stress, and carry heavy burdens. They smile when they feel like screaming, they sing when they feel like crying. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they afraid. Their love is unconditional. There's only one thing wrong, they sometimes forget what they are worth...❤️

Show kindness

 Every time you show kindness to someone else, you send a beautiful message to them ~

that they are worthy; 

that they are seen, 

and that there is still love in this world! 

The ripple effect of one act of kindness, can never be accurately measured. You may have done something small in your own eyes. 

You might feel it's so insignificant, but the effect it may have where you can't see or know, might be huge in their life!

That smile you give the tired shop assistant may change the mood she's in, fetching her children later ...

That bottle of water you gave the beggar, may give him hope to walk a little further to find a job ...

Helping that elderly man across the street, may save his life ...

Don't underestimate a little kindness done with pure love and intent.

Its okay to fall apart

 It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there’s no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either. Cry if you must. It’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again

Believe in yourself

 "Believe in yourself, even when your plans change. The courage to keep going, to embrace the unknown, is the greatest strength you possess. Remember, the path to success is rarely straight. Embrace the twists and turns, learn from your experiences, and never stop believing in yourself. Your journey is your story, and it's worth telling."

We remember them

At the rising of the sun and at its going down

We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter

We remember them.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring

We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer

We remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn

We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends

We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live;

for they are now a part of us

as we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength

We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart

We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share

We remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make

We remember them.

When we have achievements that are based on theirs

We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live;

for they are now a part of us

as we remember them.

Being Positive

Being positive doesn't mean you live in Candyland. Positive people have real problems. They get angry. They challenge people and fight hard for what they believe in. Positivity is not about wearing rose-colored glasses and rolling over when the going gets tough. It's about being strong. It's about being self-aware and accountable for your emotional state.

Trying to be a right person

 No matter how well you treat a man, if you're not the one he truly wants, he won't appreciate your efforts.

The worst feeling is trying to be the right woman for the wrong man. Even at your best, you won't be enough for him.

Stop trying to make something work that isn't meant to. When the right man comes into your life, you won't have to force communication or attention.

You'll be valued and respected without trying so hard.

Desire to walk

 "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right."

Nothing feels better 😌

Nothing feels better than being loved by a calm man. Someone who communicates properly, who talks to you with a gentle voice. Someone who listens (like really listens) and tells you how he feels without blame. And finally someone who makes you feel seen/heard in a way that no one else does.

❤️❤️❤️

Be her companion

Do not put your "WIFE" in a position that makes her feel that you are even more SIDES with others than her.

Protect your wife against family, relatives, friends who say something bad about her.

You should be the shield. You should set boundaries between her and your co-worker or friend's family.

Defend her.  Make her feel like you are her ally and not her enemy because no one else will do that but you, her Husband.

Garden of life

No matter how long it has been, there will be days when you will simply feel fragile,

just as there will be days when you will feel a little stronger.

On these fragile days, treat  yourself with the care of a small seedling, 

just beginning to push up through the earth

to catch the nourishing rays of the morning sun.

Feed yourself with 

tenderness, love and understanding.

Water the garden of your soul with affection.

Look for and lean on the support around you.

Just as the gardener may plant a stick 

to help the emerging sapling,

we too, need this kind of support

until we are strong enough to stand firmly

on our own once again.

And when we ARE strong enough

and standing firmly....

we can reach out and be a support for others ...like us,

who are also in the healing place, 

in this great garden of life.

Let kindness guide your voice

Let kindness guide your voice today,

For harsh words leave wounds that stay.

Speak with love to those who're small,

Their hearts are pure, they hear it all.

To youth whose path is steep and long,

Offer words that make them strong.

Life gives them battles yet to face;

Let your voice be their safe place.

For those whose twilight years draw near,

Whose stories deserve a gentle ear,

Speak softly of the life they've known,

Each word a comfort freely shown.

And to those who've lost their way,

Remember mercy as you say

The words that might just lead them home—

No soul should wander lost, alone.

For gentle words, like morning dew,

Touch hearts and make the world anew.

These whispers soft, these moments kind,

Leave ripples in the streams of time.

𝓙𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓷𝓮𝔂 𝓸𝓯 𝓛𝓲𝓯𝓮

Sometimes, tears are the only voice,

When words fail, and heartache rejoices.

Eyes speak louder than silent lips,

As sorrow's depths, in droplets, drip.

When the heart's too heavy to express,

Tears flow, a melancholy caress.

In moments of shattered dreams,

Crying out, the heart's extreme.

The mouth may stumble, lost for words,

But tears, a language, the heart endears.

I hate to admit it

 I hate to admit it.

You didn’t love me because you want to, but you did love me because of how I made you feel.

That’s why you love those sunshine and rainbows I used to give you, but you hate how I turned into a hurricane. You hate it whenever we turned into a disastrous storm, you always ran away.

You love those random reassurance, motivation, poems and compliments I gave you but you hate whenever I expressed why I’m hurt.

You love the way I made you laugh and smile, but you hate for the fact that I cried.

I hate to admit it... you didn’t love me, you just love the fact that I loved you.

Life give chances don't ruin it

When you lose someone who brought light into your life, it’s often because you didn’t see the beauty they tried to share with you. She gave warmth, color, and love while waiting for you to care as deeply as she did. But indifference turned her bright moments into shadows, and distance replaced the connection she longed for. When someone offers you their heart, cherish it. Let their love in, or one day, you'll realize what you've lost when it’s already gone.✨

Their Light Shines On

 Our loved ones leave behind a light

That will never dim or fade

It’s kept bright by the love we feel

And the memories we made

 It can warm us like a candle’s glow

And help bring comfort too

And no matter where you go you’ll find

It’s always close to you

 And in the darkest times remember

In our hearts their light is strong

So every time we think of them

Their memory shines on.

~ 'Their Light Shines On' 

It’s never too late to accept yourself

 When we are young, we want to look older.

And when we are old, we want to look younger.

And there is a window in the middle of it all when we’re supposed to look as we wish.

But we waste that time wishing

we were taller or thinner or curvier,

our hair was longer or shinier, curlier,

parts of our body were firmer and perkier

and we’d started to use anti-wrinkle cream earlier.

And by the time we realise we were perfect just as we were,

the window has closed. It is too late.

Too late to realise that all those things never really mattered in the first place.

But it’s never too late to start letting go.

To stop wanting, stop wishing.

It’s never too late to accept yourself.

To look in the mirror and realise that all along, you never needed to look older or younger or anything else.

You just needed to look like you.

I'm not Blind

 I'M NOT BLIND, I NOTICE EVERYTHING.

I notice

...when people treat me differently.

...when others tell lies thinking I'd be too dumb to realize.

...when I'm not part of the plan.

...when some people act weird towards me.

...when I'm just an option.

...when I'm being used for someone else's gain.

...when kindness has another meaning.

...when people connive.

I notice everything.

So don't mistake my silence for naivety.

I'm too keen for that.

I'M NOT BLIND, I NOTICE EVERYTHING.

If you’re going to love, then mean it

"If you’re going to love, love like you mean it. Tell that person you care. Look them in the eyes. Kiss them with passion and a fearlessness that bubbles up from your chest. Don’t stress over what you have right now, and whether it will grow. Don’t be afraid of the way life is imperfect and fragile. Just love.

If you’re going to love, love like tomorrow won’t come. Like this next day, next hour, next second is all you have. Like the person standing in front of you is the best damn thing you’ve ever seen.

If you’re going to love, love like there’s no one else. Like you can’t get enough of their touch, their smile, their laughter mixing with yours. Love like you’ve never even considered a life without them.

If you’re going to love, love like you’ve never been hurt. Like you’ve never experienced the pain of a broken heart, or the dishonesty in someone’s voice. Like you’ve never watched a relationship fall apart, or two people who once had passion for one another fade into strangers.

If you’re going to love, love with a ferocity. Love like it’s all you’re meant to do, because in all honesty, what else is there? Give the person you care for your whole heart. Show them who you are beyond the layers. Get vulnerable. Get messy.

If you’re going to love, love with purpose. Love with all that you have, all that you are. Love, even when the world makes it difficult or says you should give up. Love through your actions, your words, your choices. Choose to love your person, no matter the ups and downs.

If you’re going to love—damn it, love with intention. Don’t half-love. Don’t ‘almost,’ or ‘kind of’ commit. Don’t waste time giving only portions of yourself so you both miss out on the real thing.

If you’re going to love, just do it. 

Just love and love and love. And never stop." 

Spend your quality time

“Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

Forgive the person who broke your heart

This is how you forgive the person who broke your heart. 

You forgive them by giving yourself time to heal. This doesn’t happen all at once. This doesn't happen overnight. It’s a slow progression. You take two steps forward and four steps back. Sometimes it won't make sense. But you grow a bit stronger, a bit more resilient, every single day. Even if you don’t always see it. 

You forgive them by focusing on yourself. Stop pouring your energy into toxicity. You unplug. You unfollow. Practice self-care. Reread your favorite books and go out with your best friends, laughing and remembering how good things can be when you surround yourself with positivity. Tell your broken heart it’s okay to take a break to remember how to smile again. 

You forgive them by removing yourself from the situation. The longer you dwell in it, in the heartache, the more it festers. It's difficult, but you have to leave it alone. Honor your emotions. Honor your feelings. But don't keep circling back. Don't keep obsessing over what occurred. Imagine it like a balloon. Let it float away. Tell it goodbye. It can't hurt you now. 

You forgive them by accepting what they did. That doesn't mean the pain is erased. That doesn’t mean you suddenly think it’s okay or you've let them off the hook. It doesn't mean they aren't responsible for their actions or that you've forgotten what happened. It just means accepting what's done is done. It means admitting there is no rewind button. You can only move forward. 

You forgive them by regaining your life. Because there is so much more than just one person who broke your heart.

Glimmer of Hope

Sending the warmest of hugs to those who feel sad, tired, lonely, drained and empty!

To those who carry the weight of sadness, the weariness of exhaustion, the ache of loneliness, and the emptiness of despair, I send a wave of warmth and compassion. 

May this virtual embrace bring a flicker of comfort, a whisper of hope, and a reminder that you are not alone. 

Know that you are loved, that you are worthy, and that brighter days are on the horizon. Hold onto that glimmer of hope, and let it guide you towards healing and peace.

I want to be...

 I want to be kind. I want to be unwaveringly and relentlessly kind. I want my genuine adoration for everything to roll off of me in waves and embed itself into the souls of everyone around me. I want to wake up everyday knowing that I'm going to make someone's day better.

I want to roll out of bed, knowing that l'm going to choose love and kindness yet again, despite all the bitterness and the hatred in the world. I want to fall in love with humanity, and propagate it. I want to be kind.

Peace of mind and reassurance 😌

 “Once you grow up, you realize you don’t want to be crazy in love. 

You want to be calm in love,

stable in love, patient in love, 

understood in love, safe in love. 

Your partner should give you peace of mind and reassurance, not constant little heart attacks and high anxiety.”

I'm slowly learning

 "I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.

I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead.

Work on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life."

A real man never lets the woman in his life feel uncertain

 A real man never lets the woman in his life feel uncertain about what her role is or should be in his life.

 He shows her that she matters and makes her feel valued, secure, and thus worthy of love. 

She doesn't have to fight for his time, attention, or respect because he is willing to give them to her.

 A relationship is not just a one-way commitment, for he is fully committed to it.

A man who is serious about his woman lets her know where she stands. 

He involves her in all his plans, listens to her thoughts, and will always be there for her in every way that a man can be.

 She does not ever have to guess whether she holds an important place in his heart; he proves it through his actions.

She has to believe that she belongs, is an absolute part of the man's life, and not some querulous applicant scrambling for his attention. That's how she feels safe, loved, and respected. 

A real man knows love is a source for his partner to go about her days serenely and not filled with dread. This is what sets him apart from any other man. 

Often, when a woman ends a long-term relationship

Often, when a woman ends a long-term relationship, the man’s first thoughts are:

She must have found someone else” or “How could she just leave after all these years?”

What many men don’t consider are the countless nights she went to bed feeling worthless because of his disrespect or broken promises to change.

They don’t remember all the times she stood by his side when no one else did, or how she prayed for him to become a better person. 

They don’t think about how she always put everyone else’s needs before her own.

They don’t acknowledge how her friends and family urged her to leave, yet she stayed.

No, all that many men can focus on is, “How could she just walk away?”

The truth is, women don’t suddenly wake up one day and decide to leave. 

A man’s actions, his words, and the way he makes her feel gradually add up, and eventually, the burden becomes too heavy to bear.

When she stops expressing her frustrations, stops pushing you to understand her perspective, it’s not because she’s given in ~ it’s because she’s planning her way out of the toxic situation.

She didn’t leave to find someone else; 

SHE LEFT TO REDISCOVER HERSELF

Stay strong to all the women building the courage to know your worth, 🥀🌷

Stay true to yourself.

 Stay true to yourself.

Don't worry about what people think of you or about the way they try to make you feel. If people want to see you as a good person, they will. If they want to see you as a bad person, absolutely nothing you do will stop them. Ironically, the more you try to show them your good intentions, the more reason you give them to knock you down if they are commited to misunderstanding you. Keep your head up high and be confident in what you do. Be confident in your intentions and keep your eyes ahead instead of wasting your time on those who want to drag you back. Because you can't change people's views, you have to believe that true change for yourself comes from within you, not from anyone else.

Bottom line nobody feels for you but yourself

- Your family doesn't know how much difficulties and pressure you go through in your daily life or in your job.

- And your work doesn't know the circumstances of your life and your home.

- Your colleagues, your friends and loved ones will not understand the size of the new and old responsibilities that are above you.

Bottom line nobody feels for you but yourself. No one will understand what you're really going through and they most likely don't appreciate efforts.

Just keep on keeping on... Fight... take care of yourself.

Forgive the person who broke your heart

This is how you forgive the person who broke your heart. 

You forgive them by giving yourself time to heal. This doesn’t happen all at once. This doesn't happen overnight. It’s a slow progression. You take two steps forward and four steps back.

It is okay

The biggest lesson I've learned is:

It is okay.

It's okay for me to be kind to myself. It's okay to be wrong. It's okay to get mad. It's okay to be flawed. It's okay to be happy. It's okay to move on.

No need to be perfect in Love

 In the end, I don’t think love comes from trying to be perfect.

We spend a lot of time trying to look better or do things that make us seem more impressive.

But I’ve learned two things:

The people who truly love us see us with their hearts. They look beyond what we show on the outside.

And those who don’t want to love us won’t change their minds, no matter how hard we try.

So, yes, I think it’s okay to leave our flaws as they are.

They help us find the ones who see us with their hearts. 🤍🕊️🖤

We love and are loved, everyday.

That we experience LOVE every single day, if we’re paying attention. It doesn’t have to be chocolates and flowers and a fancy dinner with a partner. Love is what turns the mundane into something special. Love is being there for each other. Love is a text from a loved one. Love is patient and kind and forgiving. Love is a song that takes us someplace beautiful. Love is a memory that brings us smiles. Love is when your differences make no difference. Love is a quiet moment of PEACE and contentment. We love and are loved, everyday.

To my Old Self

To my old self,

I'm sorry for allowing people to hurt you so many times. I'm sorry for all the wrong decisions that you've made because you were not wise enough before. I hope you'll learn to forgive yourself someday. I hope you'll heal from all your trauma. And I hope you've learned from all the mistakes that you've made in your past.

Someday, I hope you'll learn to love yourself after all the heartbreaks that you've been through. I know sometimes it's hard to forget the painful things that happened to you, but it takes time to heal. I hope one day you'll learn to find your worth again. You were too hard on yourself and you forgot that you are worth it too. One day, I hope you find the happiness that you always deserve.

I want you to know that your past mistakes and traumas doesn't define who you are. You are more than your wounds and scars. You are more than the number of your heartbreaks. And I hope you always remember that I am so proud of you for being brave enough to stay alive. You are loved, and you are always enough. ♥️

What's Happiness

One day you will realize that happiness is not what your house looks like, but how you love the people within its walls.

Happiness is not finding success at a certain time, but finding something you love so much that the time itself seems to be slipping away.

Happiness is not thinking you have the world’s approval, but waking up every day and feeling so at peace in your own skin, quietly anticipating the day ahead, no matter how you feel.

Happiness is not having the best of everything, but being able to make the best of everything.

Happiness is knowing that you did what you could with what you were given.

Happiness is not something that comes to us when every problem is solved and everything falls into place perfectly, but in the shining silver lining that reminds us that the light of day is always there, if we just slow down enough to notice.
