You're enough!


  I recently heard a song called "perfect to me" by Anne-Marie and I think it's an amazing song because it talks about how it's okay to feel comfortable in your own skin, and not have to constantly worry about what people think. It's a direct and hopeful message to people going through an insecure phase, especially teens.

  I don't think it's fair to say it's our fault for having insecurities, when we're constantly surrounded by all types of unrealistic standards and goals, whether it's beauty or the idea of always having to be perfect and unflawed.

  There are alot of people that say girls are more insecure than boys which quite frankly isn't true. While girls are taught to be "perfect" , boys are taught not to show their emotions and "man up" which I think is the root of all problems.

  Unless we realize our own mistakes, it's not going to get any better or simpler, it's just going to get more complicated with each day that passes.

  While we're told by our parents on how to be confident and prioritize ourselves , we're also constantly criticized by society on everything. From not having the perfect skin color, to not being slim enough or tall enough , to not getting the perfect grades or just generaly not being good enough, there is no way to satisfy them, and we don't have to satisfy them because the list is never ending. Those people aren't worth our time, they love feeding off other people's insecurities , it makes them feel better about themselves which says alot about them as a person.

  We should set our own standards and work hard to achieve those, be happy and comfortable in our own skin because we really are extraordinary beings!
Lets stop trying to meet other people's standards and for once , meet our own standards, do things because it makes us happy and not care if it's going to raise eyebrows and doubts because at the end of the day, it's our life and we get to choose how to live it.

 There's already so many people trying to bring us down, why do WE need to do that to ourselves as well? That's called self-doubt and self-hate and the faster we recognize it, the better we'll get at replacing that with self-love and self-care!

Life as we know it.

 The term YOLO sounds so simple yet so particularly deep. Sure, we live only once but we also experience each day once which sounds bizarre considering we live every day in the same pattern.  Every day that we live, every minute that passes by never comes back almost like we’ll never relive today again even if tomorrow feels the same!   This makes me wonder how a small improvement to a 24 hour day can change the way we live it. I sometimes find myself pondering life. How it’s the perfect balance of consistency and inconsistency, how one decision made today can completely alter the route of your life the next day. It’s the perception of realizing that there are so many people in this world who we’ll never know, who will never have any impact on us or whose life we’ll never be a part of.   It’s the notion that no matter how slow or fast time flies, it’s always somehow moving forward and never stationary. It’s the awareness that happiness can be attained if we’re pleased with all

Feelings ~ 5/9/23

Isn't life truly fascinating? It's remarkable how a single moment in a person's life can alter what seems predetermined as fate and destiny, yet in our eyes, it's merely a moment of interchangeable paths – that instance when life takes an unexpected yet incredibly beautiful turn. These are the moments that, once entered, leave us forever changed. Perhaps it's destiny gently guiding events towards a perfect ending. There's a yearning for home and belonging, even in places that no longer hold that feeling. Not because of sad events, but because moments evolve into cherished memories, and life has ushered us along a different path. These are the moments that beckon reflection. As you sit in that exact spot, in the same seat, you can't help but wonder how those moments have transformed into memories, sometimes overlooked as life's hustle takes center stage. Isn't it beautiful how one ordinary step on an average day, at the most ordinary time, can become

A writing discovery.

So I've been having difficulties coming up with a blog topic, then I figured why not talk about that? When I initially started writing, I had this idea in my head that the things I write should always have a purpose and be of an excellent caliber, but as time passed, I realized that wasn't always the case. Blogging does not always have to be about discussing things that need to be heard by the majority. To be realistic, it can be as straightforward as writing about your day. Blogging, in my perspective, is essentially open-access journaling.  We express our feelings simply by talking about them, and we receive a response that usually goes something like "I can absolutely empathize with this". There's something restorative about writing, even if it's about the most illogical of subjects.  It's the human connection we feel while discussing significant moments in our lives that might have a completely different impact on someone else depending on where that m
