Being a pessimistic person really puts a dent in being excited about the future.
I want big things in the future but the focus and determination to achieve it often fades away after a few hours.
Since I don’t make the effort it obvious enough that I won’t actually reach my goals. I always think if I make all the effort and fail I would be upset more so instead I procrastinate.
I am learning to be hopeful again about my future and maybe soon I will also learn to be excited about it as well. 😊
As a woman, I was always taught that we must sacrifice things for my family’s sake. To maintain the peace in the family.
It took me some time to figure out the difference between the two. I realized that pride is to feel superior to the others. And in most cases pride destroys everything. You tend to loose yourself in the battle to assert yourself as being better. The moment you let go of that pride you learn to accept things and people. Letting go of the pride needs to come from within it does not come from another’s advice. It happens when you realize that there is something more valuable that you will gain and letting go of your pride feels like freedom.
On the other hand, I also realized that not everything considered pride tends to be pride. Protecting your honor is not wrong. Honoring yourself is the truest form of self-love and though it is quite difficult to do, one must always try. Giving up your honor today, may not rock the boat today, but for the rest of your life you would have no harmony within yourself.
Standing at crossroads Where did we go wrong? Things were all mayhem But we promised we’d stay strong Everything that ever happened Seems like a haze of a time long forgotten.
Every step is breaking us down Life is charting a path that we hate What was, is not what is anymore Things that made us smile bring now despair.
Missing you is something I never wanted to know Cause being with you was my forever story The choices we made and the chances we took Made us reach where we are today
A destiny that was never imagined A future apart With solitude and a broken heart.
Not a big fan of the world-altering romance. I think something like that would just overwhelm me.
I believe in the small actions that people do.
Like pretending to look at the phone just to give you time to catch up and walk together. Or switching the restaurant to one of your favorites.
Even though they seem like small insignificant things I think they have profound meaning. They are not done to be appreciated instead they are done out of habit. As if it’s the most normal thing for them to do.
I believe being part of someone’s normal is my kind of romantic. It almost feels like you share a world of your own with that person even though there are a billion people around you.
I am unfortunately not a person with much of an idea when it comes to food and even lesser when it comes to chocolates.
But over the course of my life I have identified some flavors that work well with my limited palate. I love the taste of hazelnut in chocolate and I also love the taste of dark chocolate. I should mention that the chocolate that has always been close to my heart is “Kit-Kat”.
If I were to to describe my dream chocolate it would be the Kit Kat wafers with Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut cream! 🙂
I am not one for conversations. I choose to brood over things in my solitude.
It took me sometime but the only time I do “talk” to people is when I want a distraction. Random empty conversations might not add to anything useful in my life but they stop my mind from attacking me. Even if it is just for a short duration in that moment all my worries go to the back of my mind.
On rare occasions that I have a “heart-to-heart” conversations with someone it helps me realize that my life is much better than most people. It gives me a perspective other from my own and I get will to fight a little longer.
So contradictory to most people’s opinion, in my opinion empty conversations do have value.
I prefer to not try rather than fail and I use that as an excuse every time I slip up.
I have huge plans of what to achieve in my future and I realize that to get there what I need more than anything is to keep pushing forward. It’s okay for those days where I just want to be lazy and waste time. All I need to learn is to get up and keep moving forward.
“One step backward two step forward.” I need learn to keep chipping at that block. Here’s to phase 2 of Year 2024.

I know that corruption in politics always deters us to vote. We may end up thinking “What is the point? Nothing is going to change.” And in most case it is true.

In my opinion, we cannot complain about something if we do not do anything for it. Politics is a difficult career to pursue and one really needs the talent and skill to stay in it. Personally, I feel that I would not be able to handle it and so I choose to vote for the person who I think would be best out of the options I have.
I believe it is my right and responsibility to vote and if I do not do that I should not expect others to perform their responsibility.
I am most productive when everyone is asleep. I feel the quiet of the night makes me more focused on what I am doing.
I do feel sleepy at 10 pm but when I push through that sleep I can keep on working till dawn. Time passing doesn’t even come to mind. Only when my house wakes up again in the morning do I realize that I have skipped bed time all together.
