If You Can Change One Thing In Your Life...

These days, I figured that we have the tendency of dreaming of things we don't have and take what we have for granted too often.
Well maybe its simply in our DNA to never be satisfied.

Not long ago, I asked the simple question of "if you can change one thing in your life, what would it be" on Instagram using the ever famous feature of "ask me question" sticker.
It turns out that some of the answers I received somehow broke my heart.

A boy wished to not let himself get overweight for so long
A girl wished to have a different kind of 17th birthday celebration
A boy wished to start looking for his passion sooner
A girl wished to never let go of a special someone that meant a lot in her life
A boy wished to muster better confidence
A girl wished to be blessed with a "smarter" brain
A boy wished to never fell in love with the wrong person
A girl wished to have a slimmer body and prettier face
A boy wished to be able to cut his laziness
A girl wished to stop trusting people too easily
A boy wished to have the strength to cut his "evil" character
A girl wished to un-quit ballet
A boy wished to change his "self"
A girl wished to have a different kind of past
A boy wished to be given a chance to love his mother more
And another wished to be born in a more resourceful condition
Out of all responses, only one dare to say that he would change nothing

Why can't we all be like that one last friend?
(I won't go through regret since I've done that before)
To just be content with the things we had, the moments we've been through, the mistakes we've done, the achievements we've received.
We all need to learn the science of be grateful, don't we?

In my opinion, the ability to let yourself know that what you have is enough, your mistakes forgiven, your weaknesses tolerable, lies within your head alone.
There's no one simple solution or medicine for the tortured soul but I wish for you to find it soon.

A dear friend once taught me that people's path of happiness are different one another and it is the truth.
The most important is for you to love yourself for who you are.
You have been created perfect with all your imperfections and you are you for a beautiful reason

After all, if you don't love yourself, who will?
At the end of the day, I believe that deep down people never care about what happened to others, they care about what happened to them if something happened to that someone.

So after you read this, I truly hope that you find it in you to be grateful for the life you have been blessed with including all the little imperfections here and there considered.

Things Taken For Granted

"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...

We Are Who We Are

"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...

Making a Difference (?)

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...
