Making the most of life

So today, my friend and I decided to go out for breakfast and to be honest, in the midst of having a good time, I realized how valuable and precious these moments are. We tend to realize the worth after it's over.

I'm one of those people that takes a billion pictures and videos for 2 main reasons:

I love photography whether it's photography of nature, food or people. AND
I love looking back to videos and pictures only to realize the importance of those moments and feel nostalgic.

We all know how Snapchat and Facebook bring up memories from previous years and to be honest, the most bittersweet feeling I've ever had is going through those memories only to realize, that's all they'll ever be now, just memories.

It allows us to stop for a moment and reminisce those perfectly imperfect memories whether it's a video of you and your friends singing along to your favorite songs or listening to a really boring lecture in class, with people who may or may not still be a part of your life.

I've had so many previous year's memories with people I have no contact with anymore and although that makes me sorrowful, I also wonder what it would be like if those people were still part of my life and a bigger part of me believes, I'm better off without them because after all, everything happens for a reason right?

So this small thought got me thinking how we should really make the most of the little time we have, filling ourselves with happiness, removing all the negativity and bitterness we've built up over the years.

I mean if you think about it, 5 years....or even 10 years from now, you're gonna think about the memories where you couldn't breathe because you were laughing hard at something that you probably didn't even think was that humorous , not how that one person broke your heart or how you failed that one test back in 10th grade.

You control your mind and your thoughts, it's all in your hands, whether you choose to let the negativity and sadness enter you, weighing you down or you allow yourself some time to hurt but then pick yourself back up and be the wonderful person you are who's happy and content with what you've achieved, how you've achieved it and most importantly the people that stuck by you through those times.

We can't expect happiness from others when there isn't any happiness within us which is why it's so important to surround ourselves with good vibes and happy thoughts. That doesn't mean you won't feel negativity creeping up on you, it just means you'll deal with it in a healthy way.

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
