two minds two voices.: April 2016

I am now at the point where most people my age know what they want to do with their lives and I know quite a handful that are going towards the direction they have always dreamed of. These people are often the ones who make a lot of sacrifices, who work while others are asleep, who turn down meaningless hangout offers just to do things that they love to do and these people are the ones I adore most.

You know when these people are genuinely happy with what they’re doing when you hear the excitement from their voices to how their faces light up along with those twinkles in their eyes and yet, they are still humble through all the things they have accomplished. These human beings are my favorite type of people!

They have no idea how constantly motivated and inspired I am by them and I personally think that everyone needs to acknowledge their talents. These people are crazily talented and yet they still work hard towards everything that they want. Which in the end, I am positive that they will always get! But I know even when they don’t; they won’t give up that easily. They will always get back up and continue to strive for the best.

So here’s a random post for you guys, hats off for being so amazing and I hope you guys will keep doing what you love, even when people try to shoot you down.; stand your ground and show everyone your worth. Keep inspiring others like how you’ve inspired me!

So the other day I met a friend from high school and seeing that we haven’t seen each other for a while we both had the courtesy to ask how we were and one of her question caught me off guard and that was; “Why are you doing the same thing as others? Why start a blog? Everyone’s doing that now, what makes you think that you’ll have readers?”

I was speechless.

I knew that she meant it in a nice way but I did not expect her to ask me that kind of question. I didn’t know what to answer back then so I just said, “I don’t know, because I like it.”

And its true, I do, I like blogging a lot.

I may not write as frequent as other people and our blog may not be as fancy as others but that doesn’t mean that I should stop doing what I love to do. I love sharing stories, I love to inspire people with my words, I love to express myself in a way that people can easily understand and I love writing; even when I know my level is below most people.

I see a lot of people are starting to get into blogging, fashion, and honestly, I never once felt demotivated or discouraged because of that; for, my sole intention for creating a blog is to share - never to compete. I embarked on this journey in hopes for one day, I could change someone’s life and that hope is still there. I may not have a lot of “followers” or “readers” and people may not like the way I write but it doesn’t matter. I like what I do, and no one can change my feelings towards something that I like (or someone. Epp).

So friend, this is my answer. I know your intentions were good so I’m not at all mad at you, in fact, thank you for giving me something to write about! Haha.

It's that time of that semester where everything gets out of hand and things crumble down piece by piece. I panic almost every minute of everyday while I try to put on a composed face. As usual, I don't get things done one by one. I let everything flood me and test my patience. Most of the times, trying to be composed doesn't work anymore. I hate knowing that I did not give my best in the things I do and I let that haunt me.

However, I feel like this year could be better (in terms of handling my stress). I want it to be. I need it to be. I've been telling myself some things to get myself through each and everyday. If I stick with it for a while, it might actually really work.

1. Positive thoughts
It's been said that your thoughts shape your reality so I decided to put it to the test. I've been trying to mould my thoughts and shift them into something more positive and brighter in hopes that it'll lessen the pain of everything. Every waking day, I force myself into the positive zone even though sometimes, it's a tough battle. It's a work in progress but If I believe, I can.

2. Not everything deserves a reaction
I react to everything and that's not necessarily a good thing. When something bad happens, I'm like a chemical reaction that doesn't just fizzle, I explode! In chemistry class, I thought that inert gasses were useless. Why do they even exist anyway? But if you think about it, if all gasses reacted, wouldn't we be living our lives on our tiptoes hoping nothing explodes on us? Sometimes, inert is good after all.

3. Those who matter don't mind, those who mind don't matter.
I'm sure this phrase is more than well known and a lot of people probably live by this quote. But it's true. The only opinions you should take into account are of those who are dearest to you because if they really are on your side, anything they say is just for your best interests. I've had my fair share of rude comments and harsh words thrown at me, and yes it hurts! But in relation to my second point, reacting to it is probably not the wisest thing to do. Not everyone will understand your journey and everyone will have an opinion on everything you do but that's okay! You do you, you do you.

These things I tell myself are slowly working, I hope it works for you too.

Keep on being amazing, folks.

and may God bless us all.
