The Power of Words

"We are who we are,” A line of one of my current ongoing tv series good doctor that suddenly become a jolt of inspiration to reflect, to write once again. We are who we are and indeed we are all different. One very introvert and need her own space, one never runs out of the so called social battery. One likes to cook and bake and paint, one, on the other hand, likes to do math and statistic and accounting. One is very practical and energy conscious, the other one very in the moment and living life to the fullest. These differences, it sometimes feel like the barrier of us getting along. It sometimes feel like with each differences, the further away we become from creating a long-lasting friendship filled with “unconditional” love. Sometimes too, these differences create a heavy burden of expectation. Expectation to be slightly less different, expectation to change who you are for the sake of being “belong” in a group of people, expectation to di...

Looking at the million stars above me, wondering how far they all are, how wide this universe is, there's only one way this brain can go, "how on earth is the little insignificant me is supposed to make a change in this world?". There were some points in my life when I dreamed to be inspiring. Inspiring enough to be heard by millions, inspiring enough for thousands of people to follow me on social media, and inspiring enough for hundreds of people to read my blog posts. The dream to inspire was based on the hope that my life could mean something, could bring a change, could make this world just a little bit better. But then there were moments like these. When I realised that no matter how "inspiring" or not I am, it's kind of making zero difference in this world. I mean who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy says Adam Levine's lost stars. How impactful should one be to change the world? Being a president? Being a miss universe? Being...

"The things we take for granted are the things we long for the most when they're gone" After bringing up the idea to my instagram story, I learnt from friends' kind responses that most of us have that little things that we have been taking for granted in this life. Things that worth so much more than we realise but we kind of forget just because we got them by grace, we got them already, and we got them without sacrificing much of ourselves. Little do we know, these things we take for granted, they are not going to be there forever and always and that is exactly why I wish for us all to take a moment to embrace it all and give these things more credit that we gave them for these things deserves so much more than this. Life. How often is it we forget that each day when we are able to open up our eyes to the bright sunlight is a grace in itself. It doesn't matter how hard, how miserable, how boring, how lonely you might feel your days currently are, the very b...

Hey there, this post is dedicated to all of you who needs a kind reminder that it is okay not to be fine sometimes. I too was once needing this reminder and it comes through one of my favourite tv series so I am sharing this with you. It is also meant for you who needs to know right now that all of us makes mistakes and that too is okay. Mistakes are there as a part of our life to teach us a lesson. Mistakes too are what eventually makes us humans. So its okay, your life is not over just because of one stupid mistake you made. We've all been there, tho none the exact same. Well darling, if you are not fine by the time you read this post, or that if you are currently regretting some of your presumably wrong decisions, I just want to say that you don't get to give up. Keep fighting, will you? Because we know that eventually you'll be fine again. Remember those moments when you felt truly happy? You'll get there sooner or later. Yeah I know that for some p...

Have you ever wonder whether honesty is overrated? I mean, you can't always be honest, right? At least not 100%, wait let's pull it back a bit. What does honesty mean to you? Letting everything out in the open? Saying everything that you think and feel including all the prejudices? If you're not 100% honest you're not really honest, don't you think? The problem is, Some of those honesty could hurt people you know. And they say, what you don't know can't hurt you. So do you really need to? Be honest all the time? Part of growing up is to better your filter so that you're not brutally honest like a little kid. You know what, those people that you think are nice, It's not that they never think of bad things about other people especially when they're mad, they just know better to shut up until it passes. If anyone tells you every single ugly things that are going on in her mind with no filter at all, you'll realise that she's...

Go ahead, it's your life. Do whatever your heart believe is right. Go stay home or explore the town Go read another chapter of that book or don't Go to the church or continue your sleep Go treat that person with respect or make your own judgement Go try having the night out drunk or spend your time knitting Go buy that dress or save your money Go say those bad words just for instant relieve or stay silent Go help someone or just pray for them Go loose your virginity now or wait Go let that high-school sweetheart go or hold on to them Go surround yourself with the right people or go be one Go defend that friend of yours for his wrongdoings or speak up for justice I could go on forever but you get the point. Darling, it's you, your decision, and your life. All I want to say is that you owe it to yourself to be sure that 5 years from now, when you look back, you regret nothing. 10 years from now, when you look back, I do wish that you can give yourself a ...
