The right time.


  Back in September, I met my neighbors for the first time, and instantly felt a connection with them! I remember it was a warm Wednesday afternoon when a few ladies from my neighborhood came over at our place for tea.

  I had school that morning and still remember how I wasn't too thrilled about meeting them because of the crazy amount of schoolwork I had to complete. Also, the fact that I was sleep deprived didn't help either.

  However, I'm glad my neighbors came over because I met 2 girls who're around my age and let's just say we became good friends by the end of the gathering. That was the beginning of our most regular and spontaneous hangouts.

  The point of this short story is that good things happen when we least expect it but certainly need the most. We might think that the situation we're facing isn't for the better or maybe isn't happening at the right time but in reality, everything that happens to us happens for a reason and the timing is usually always perfect, even though we might not see that in the midst of it.

  I sometimes wonder what it would be like, had I not met them?
I would have missed out on some really amazing people. On the other hand, what it would be like had I met them at a time that wasn't right? Or maybe trying to force the friendship? Maybe we wouldn't have felt that connection at all and we'd still be strangers today!

 What I'm trying to say is that we should really stop trying to do things perfectly, stop planning everything out from the beginning to the end and just take the time and moment we have right now, making it perfect and memorable.

  Let's just try to focus on the 24hours we have and make the most of it, the rest will all fall into place at the right time.

    I totally agree with this. Things really do happen for a reason. I remembered crying so much when I decided to move to a place I've never been to. I thought I'll never enjoy the place and the people as well but turned out that, it's one of the best decisions ever. I've met some of the best and truest people whom I can proudly call as my dearest life-long friends. Yes, we never had the perfect "friend-relationship" but at the end of the day, we always have each other's back ☺️

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
