As a human being, I consider being open-minded extremely relevant . Too many times us humans will be stuck in one mindset and refuse to move on and change. I am a stubborn person at times, I get annoyed and even angry if someone tells me I’m wrong or shouldn’t be doing something . Thankfully, I’ll calm down afterwards and apologize to them, knowing my mistakes. I’ve become more open minded and chill, that now I’m able to brush off the times where people say a negative comment about me. It’s one of those things where it’s out of your control. That’s why when something that’s not within your control go “ your” way, you become really happy! Although for some other cases, things will not go your way and the only thing that’s within your control are your own emotions.
     The first step to finding the true meaning of life is to accept the way things already are. That’s because we tend to have expectations and when they’re not meet up we get upset and frustrated. Just recently, I found a method on how to deal with that. A young YouTuber I found said, “set a 5 minute timer and in those periods, allow yourself to feel angry and upset.” This I found really interesting and helpful because, you know how you’ll be angry at maybe one of your siblings but then forget why you were so mad at them? Yeah, it’s hard to remain mad at someone than to love and forgive them. No one likes to dwell in the toxic mindset all the time, and it’s your choice to either be happy or waste time being negative. Meaning don’t let one little thing ruin the rest of your day. I found out how much time we can waste on being petty and negative. It’s quite funny to me because yeah sure, it’s easier to stay mad at someone than to apologize, but mostly you’ll be the one suffering the most for being stubborn and childish.
You start to feel uneasy, your palm starts to sweat, you start to worry, and the next thing you know… you are having anxiety. That’s a place where everyone has been through. You don’t know what to do, and the more you think the worse it gets. You see, nine out of ten of the times, the things we feel anxious about don’t even happen. But why do we stress over about it? Our mind is the number one killer to destroying our happiness. I’ll always question myself, why was I going crazy over something that hasn’t even happen yet? It won’t change anything anyways so why? Honestly I don’t have a straight forward answer to that but what I do know is; I have no control on what the future will throw at me, I cannot predict anything, and most importantly I’ll be missing out on the present. Now, what I do have control over are, I can decide to exercise and distract myself from it, I can train myself to be more mindful, etc. Every time you find yourself in that mindset count backwards from 5 and shift your thoughts to the present. You don’t want to be losing the happiness you have now to something that’s not even happening. Also if you’re really going to wonder off, why not picture your life full of hope and desires that could be fulfilled? It’s not only fun and interesting when you act like life is a gift but you’ll also feel more thrilled and excited for life! I have started this little method a long time ago even before I know what this was and it really made me feel like life is a blessing. Full with joy and goals I could reach one day. It’s all about the state of mind you put yourself in. The more powerful your desires and hopes are, the higher chance of the universe responding to that. Now good luck with your own journey and enjoy every bits of it.
     We all have bad days. Rather it was with our coworkers, family members,or just a stranger even, little things can come after us and ruin our day. But why surrender to that? We are way more stronger than that and should not allow little, petty situations get to us. Everyday can feel like fighting a battle and sometimes it is, but we pick ourselves right back up and continue with our day. When you can master that and train your emotions not to get tagged along with other people’s opinions, you’ll be so much more happier and less stressed. Remember, we have control over our own emotions. We are the only ones responsible for that. Do not expect from others and get yourself to the level where you don’t give a crap about other people’s opinions and accept yourself for the way you are. Because there’s only one of YOU here on this earth and you should do whatever that makes you happy.
While it’s good to keep your mental mind in check, it’s also crucial to keep your body in shape. By staying in shape doesn’t necessarily mean to be as skinny as possible(ladies), it’s to find a balance in what you eat and how often you workout. Everyday we need protein, dairy, vegetable, fruits, water, and exercise to stay strong. Why it is important is because to put into consideration when your body is not functioning well, your mind wouldn’t be functioning normally. And when your mind isn’t at its best state then how will your mentality be good? When you treat your body the way it’s supposed be treated, you’ll feel so much happier. Lastly, manage, prioritize, work, keep it consistent; these are only a few little things that is going to do big tasks for you and your future.

     Looking back from when I was a tiny child to a young adult now, it’s incredible on how much I’ve changed and developed through the years. I use to be so afraid to talk to people and make friends; now not only I have so many of my supportive friends around me I also feel excited and eager to meet new people! It’s amazing how things have changed within 10 years and I’m really glad I’m slowly developing into the person I want to be. That’s when you find the meaning in life; anything that makes you smile and lift you up is taking you to the right path in life. Life is too short to be crying over someone or hating on silly things. Just let the insignificant person or object go and you’ll actually find true happiness. Remember happiness is within you, let me repeat again, happiness IS WITHIN YOU and you’re the only one on this earth that knows what YOU truly wants.
     Now I’m sure I’m not the only one on this planet earth that has felt empty or dreaded before when finding the meaning in life. I find it really important that you need to find the core of the reason you’re feeling a certain way. Rather it be a toxic relationship or you just simply feel lonely, find the reason behind it. For me I’ll feel that way when im lonely even when I have friends. It’s probably because I felt like they couldn’t understand me so that’s why I didn’t want to talk to them about it. Times like this, I’ll go to music and it’ll always cheer me up. I’ll start dancing to different types of songs and find myself in a better place. I think the reason behind this is do to the fact that I connected with myself, my soul. It’s so important that you need to be happy with yourself first and be okay to spend some time alone. Friends can’t always be there for you or understand how you feel so enjoy your own time. Plus, you can’t rely on others to make you feel good about yourself, you have to be able to learn on how to cope with your own emotions and depend only on yourself sometimes.
One very important factor I found on this journey of self growth and key happiness is that, you need to know very specifically what you like and dislike. What do you enjoy doing? What gives you happiness? Do you like bright, warm or dark colors? Just like how relevant it is to know what your significant other’s favors are, you need to also know more about yourself. This way, you can put yourself in more of these scenarios than to be in a place where you don’t like. Moreover you need to ask yourself, “am I putting myself in first priority or others?”; this will narrow down many factors on how you treat yourself. Many people tend to put others before themselves and sometimes that can be a problem. We need to be happy first rather than trying to help others. Because if you’re not feeling yourself first, then how can you truly support others around you? You’ll be put in unpleasant situations sooner or later and no one wants that. Aside from that, you’ll be exhausted and drained to a point where you cant take it anymore. If you’re like me, you can be too nice sometimes and end up getting yourself hurt. The focus point here is, know who you are and put yourself in a position where you want to be.
     Everyday we are keeping up with our busy schedules, one second we need to finish our schoolwork, next second we need to go to work. Or for other cases it’s balancing work and taking care of the kids at the same time. Nonetheless when are we going to have the time for ourselves? One huge advantage is if you are racing with the time, you’ll have to make some time. You can do that in many ways. For instance, some people get use to waking up earlier than usual; this allows them to finish their tasks faster. Other individuals will make a plan and manage their time better. Whatever you do, just remember to take good care of yourself first and start from here. Moreover, get enough sleep because this highly effects your mood. Studies have shown that people who are sleep deprived increases in negative moods such as anger, frustration, irritability, and sadness; this decreases your positive moods. When you’re stressed from not getting enough sleep, it’s really easy to say things you don’t mean and hurt others. One tip is to set a time where you’re disconnecting from the world and calm your mind down. This helped me sleep better and definitely improved my memory.
     The meaning of life isn’t defined simply with what you have now or what you don’t have. It’s more about the future, what’s in front of you, and what motivates you to keep going. Everyday you learn new things, amazed by it. Curiosity comes and it calls for you. It urges you to the future and you subconsciously follows it. I think that’s what makes life so great, it doesn’t just end with one story but rather, introduces you to new ones each day, each year. This is probably why things like “ New Year’s Resolution” and “bucket list” exist. It shows what you want to achieve in life, what makes you feel worthy. There is a saying that goes, “ action speaks louder than words” and I couldn’t agree more. Deep down you wish you’ve done what’s on the list, you wish you’ve made better choices, you wish you didn’t have given up so easily. So why? What had caused you to stop going? Was it because it was unbearable? No. It was not. Out of all the reasons on this world, it was because of You. You’re the only one that can take control for what you do. If it had become too difficult then why didn’t you make some adjustments or try something else? You were the only one that CHOSE to stop, no one else. You may take breaks, you can have cheat days( if your goal was to lose some weight), you can talk to your friends or a trusted adult for advice; not just giving up and feeling sorry for yourself afterwards. No one wants that. Now, reset your mindset, breathe in,and out. Have faith in you and just start over again. Tell yourself you can do it. Tell your scared and vulnerable self that you don’t need that side anymore. No more excuses. Only determinations, power, trust, belief, and simply YOU. You won’t believe how much you are capable of. And you’ll be shocked and proud when you look back one year from now…
In this small world, many of us struggle with being productive or don’t really have anything to do. When we do have the time, music and old shows can bring us back in time. Nostalgia kicks in and below our heart are a sense of warmth and comfort. You see our feelings can do so much for us. It’s a proof to us that we were here before. The memories, emotions we’ve felt then are still alive very strongly, with us. We may not be able to see what’s in the future but we have the power to look back in time. Knowing this we can all learn from our past mistakes, failures, successes; every bits of us stays with us in the future. Imagine yourself 10 years from now. Where are you? What goals have you achieved by then? How are you like? Are you happy? Asking yourself these questions will really guide you to your dream place and making them come true. You got to really think what’ll you have to fight for in order to get there. That way when you get older in the upcoming decade you can look back and tell yourself, “ I did that!”. You had showed yourself how you pushed through, and by then, you already know how to live the life you have always wanted it to be. The value of life is simply finding what you’re passionate about while slowly discovering more about yourself through the progress.
     Every second, each moment, many things can go wrong. At times, there will be a random feeling of frustration or sadness that overwhelms you for absolutely no reason. It’s one absurd thing life offers you. Nonetheless it proves to you that you can handle them and that you’re strong enough to deal with the situation. In life, you’ll have many obstacles thrown at you. This trains you for what the future will present you. For the stronger you. The you that you want to become. The you that you want to transform yourself into. It’s possible because we’re all very determined, independent in our own ways, and good enough to make that come true. It all starts with your mindset, what you tell yourself you can do. “You can do it”, “you’re a powerful, invincible being”, “you’re so much more capable than you can ever imagine”; tell yourself these things everyday, your mind will start to believe them. When you’re put in the right mindset, trust me, you’ll be shocked by how different you can see things. You’ll think to yourself how stupid you were to not live this way before. How happy you can be with yourself. You’ll look back and laugh at why you were acting like the way you were before. Your heart will be so at ease and everything just seems great. Don’t suppress the negative emotions you have. It’s a way of showing you they need your help, they need to cry out loud. Rather, get close to them and act like you’re comforting a friend. Ask your heart, “ what’s wrong, why are you feeling this way?”, and they’ll respond back. Treat yourself with kindness and forgive, learn to let go. It’s how you love yourself and get in touch with your deepest self. Eventually, those feelings will be healed and you will be okay.
Each and individual one of us have a different point of view for people and situations. In your own eyes perhaps you’re not that attractive or intelligent but there’ll be other people who sees you completely different. In your own view, you may not feel content with your life, but for others they’ll die to be in your place. Therefore, embrace yourself and be grateful for what you already have. At times, we all have tried to dress up more and feel attractive , allowing ourselves to be able to feel more charming and impress people. The key here is though, we got to first learn how to feel good with ourselves from the inside. Because no matter how much we change our appearances, we are still the same person deep down. In order to fully feel good with ourselves and love who we truly are, we’ve got to take time to figure out what we want and work towards that goal. When we can see ourselves as beautiful as how others portray us, that’s when we truly win this silly messed up game we play in our heads. Afterwards, other people’s opinions about us won’t even matter by then. The sense of validation is gone because it’s no longer needed anymore. It’s now replaced with our self confidence and real charm.
Feelings, emotions, boundaries, values, goals, dreams, the way of thinking; these are all important factors in life. Often times people may feel guilty or bad for acting or thinking a certain way. They will tell themselves, “no, this is not how I should feel or do”. But the real question is, why not? What is restricting them to not be honest with their true feelings? Is it because the way they’re feeling now may effect other people around them? Or is it because they’re afraid to disappoint or hurt someone? These are some questions people should ask themselves and really figure out what they want. Because in order to truly understand life and feel content, it’s critical to be honest with one’s true feelings. When people can’t be honest with themselves, they wouldn’t be able to figure out what they want out of life. Yes it may hurt themselves in some way, but with time things do get better. For example, I recently just learned that I am not as honest as I thought I was going to be in many places. In order to make myself feel better, I’ll fake myself through it with excuses.In reality, I don’t feel good about it. I wasn’t true with myself and felt horrible. But I’m happy because I know how I truly feel and more excited to learn and grow from this. I am happy and glad to be able to express myself and accept how my heart truly felt. I am proud and not ashamed for being honest with myself. I was not in a happy place when I told myself this is okay, I’m feeling that way, when in reality I am not. Point being, please be true to yourself and you should not feel ashamed of your real emotions.
Whenever the person is your friend or someone close to us, we will feel guilty or wrong to stand up for ourselves. That is, for a fact, not good. Simply because they’re close to us doesn’t give them the right to violate your right. The purpose in life isn’t simply be happy and content with ourselves, but more so to stand up for ourselves and know where are our limits. We are all born with equal rights and treatments, under the same sky. In order to live out our meaning of life, we have to first learn how to protect ourselves. Many things may not go into place if we have no self-right or a sense of pride. Peer pressure, expectations, family members, these all DO NOT and SHOULD NOT have any right to control our true emotions and how we should feel. Set priorities, live up to them. If we don’t, I can guarantee you 100% that we won’t be happy with ourselves . In certain situations we may find it difficult to reject our friends or people we love, but that will mean we are REJECTING our own feelings. Remember, you are your first priority and no one should change that. Because if we’re unable to please ourselves first then how is it possible to please other people around us? When we know we’re obviously not okay with how he is treating us or how disrespectful she is to us, what are we waiting for? For the perfect timing to hit back and stand up for ourselves? When we know the best timing is right now, it’s our choice to either do something about it or just ignore our problem. Overtime the issue will no, not go away but instead, grow. Grow deeper and stronger on our chest. We will be suffering and we know we don’t want that. Therefore open your mouth, speak up for yourselves, stay away from people who do not enhance your life, figure out what your heart want, change things, take action, and start moving!

Success isn’t defined with a person’s age, color, or background. It’s anyone with a dream, with a strong desire to do the thing they find impossible to do. You don’t have to wait, the best time is right now. We all make excuses and waste too much time on what might go wrong; it’s time to start now. Why not make up the times you’ve wasted thinking and fearing you can’t do it and actually start working hard towards your passion? Rather than being stuck in the same place, let’s move forward and take one step closer towards our goals.
     One thing I’ve fell in love with is dance. I remember when I first tried copying a girl group’s choreography it was so hard. I gave up thinking I was a little girl and didn’t think I could ever dance like them. When I know I should of tried harder and have more faith in me. Now years later, my younger brother, Jonny, introduced me into a genre of music, Kpop. Ironically the members he showed me all looked the same to me which I find really ridiculous now; but when he first try to teach me how to dance to a song, I was intrigued on how incredible it had made me felt. The body motions, control in my arms and legs while tilting my head to the left were not as simple as I thought it was. He kept on telling me to lift my right foot up and THEN left foot, but I just stupidly couldn’t comprehend that, physically or mentally. Therefore, we’re standing in the same place for over an hour trying to do this quick 5 seconds move. When I finally “kind of” got it, we tried it with the music and have a little blast on my progress. While laughing and screaming at this moment I thought, wow how the heck did I turn this sort of complicated move into something so difficult to learn, Jonny will ask the same thing and I must say, he’s a way better dancer than me. Ever since then I knew for sure I can’t live without dance and will continue pursuing more advanced dance. Point of this story is, my brother didn’t care how young he was, he just liked to dance and started it. Me thinking and putting this into action changed everything! This told me that the small things we do change the way we see the world. Hence, don’t be afraid to try new things. It may be hard at first but with time that will turn into something great!
     In life, we tend to be too hard on ourselves. We will blame ourselves for not having to take initiative or should have done something that’s considered” wrong”. Plenty of people have more regret when they didn’t give something a chance so I really want more of us here to go chase that dream of yours. And don’t be too harsh on yourself if it didn’t work out the way you anticipated. All you need to do at times like this is to take a break and relax. It’s not as bad as you imagined it like. When you feel like you’re ready again, stand up and go for it! Good things takes time and patience is key. Forgive yourself for the times you should or should not have taken the action and move on from it. We all fail in life and that’s totally normal. What’s important here is though you need to learn from each lesson and grow into a better version of yourself. Tell yourself you trust you, have faith, keep pursuing, and your effort will pay back.

     The next step I find really helpful is, you need a clean and tidy environment in order to perform your best in everyday of your lifetime. When you have a organized room to work in, you’ll not get distracted easily and will stay more focused. Another great tip is to write down the things you need to get done today. This way you’ll be able to finish all your tasks. Moreover it’s also very important to take good care of your appearance. Appearance says a lot about a person an addition to a person’s personality. Do you help those in need, or do you just ignore them ? When a person has a kind heart and know what’s right and wrong, it shows more charm and good vibe. Not only that, you’ll feel good and proud of who you are, inside and out. What’s inside of you will reflect on other people and allows other to know who you are. Strangers can judge you from your appearance but what’s inside of you will change a lot. Plus, all the things you do for others will come back to you. It’s not only a habit but a benefit to yourself.
     You know when we were all a kid once? How everything is so pure and stress free ?We and our little friend group will go “best friends forever “ and love each other to death. Unfortunately when we grow up, we’ll notice that it’s not always like that. People can betray us, even the ones that we thought were close to us once. They can hurt us without even blinking. And within a second, the friendship disappears, before our eyes. This teaches a lesson that we need to be careful who we choose to associate with. Too many times people will subconsciously try to please their friends and slowly drift away from people who actually care about them. We all deserve to be loved and treated right. When we surround ourselves with the right group of people, it’ll not only benefit ourselves but also direct us in the  right path.
     Why is it so important to surround yourself with more positive people? Does it really matter if you’re in the wrong group? Let me tell you, YES IT IS! Who you choose to be around effects your mood and emotions. You know that feeling when you’re turning into the person that you hate or are close with? Yeah, that’ll play a major role in your life and it won’t be good if you’re around unpleasant people. Simply having a optimistic friend talking to you can make your crappy day so much better. I believe everyone can agree with me on this. Whenever it gets too hard to maintain my cool and just be positive for the day, a light-hearted conversation with my friend restores my energy. As you can see, that’s the power people around you withholds. Therefore, appreciate those that are always there for you to make your day better and be careful not to put yourself in the toxic group.
     People lie, betray,hurt, hate, criticizes each other. In fact, too often than it suppose to be. It may come from jealousy, pain,miserableness, and other reasons. But this never justify them for treating anyone wrongly. At the end of the day, only those that truly love and know you will be on your side. It’s a cliché way to know who the real ones are when you have to go through that experiment. It involves pain and strength, but it’ll always allow you to grow and have more courage to face the future beyond you. We lose friends or companions in our lives in absurd and unreasonable ways, but it takes us to better places. A place where we can grow and heal. In life we can learn many things and have new beliefs each day; people around us has partial effect on that. It influences what we see in life, interprets how we define life. Hence it’s so significant to have the right people beside you. Many things are not within our control and who we surround with may effect our dreams, goals and beliefs; it changes our mindset and even our behaviors. We learn from our past mistakes and bad choices, we learn to not let our guard down easily and trust people, it’s sad and also has a little bit bittersweet in it. What’s important is we learn to trust people again, have faith in humanity and know who’ll always be there for us. It lends us hope, courage, and support. Thus gives us more reason to appreciate those that are always there for us. We thank them and give them the same care that they deserve also. It’s beautiful when people show love for one another and truly care for each other. So even though we should be aware with who we have in our lives but also be grateful for the real ones. What’s more important is that we should all remember who we are deep down and where we want to be surrounded with.

 
     The value and meaning of life is not isolated with only one idea, everyone is different. For example, Madeline may want to stay home and research on some plants but Kara will be traveling around the world, learning new things everyday. She’ll be feeling fulfilled and excited on her journey while Madeline will feel productive and motivated to mess with her plants. Making scientific experiments and putting them into action. Each and every individual one of us have something we find excitement in which makes life so refreshing.
     In my case Ive dreamed of my whole life getting a bachelors degree and getting accepted into a high-advanced baking class . It’s something that makes my heart pump and boil my passion. I can just feel so happy thinking about it now. To be honest I have no idea if it’s even worth it to go to college ; sure it’ll look good on my resume and maybe provide me with greater opportunities in the future but I can’t help but still question about it sometimes. Either way I want to see how’s it like to live on campus and how it helps me grow more independently by myself. I’ll probably go out a lot, party, make new friends , the typical college life. Many years later I’ll look back and remember all the memories I’ve made in my childhood life and think to myself, “ Wow I would of regretted it if I’ve never gone to college”. For now it’s all a mystery, I’ll have my pros and cons for college but more of me feel like it’s worth it and I want to try it .
     When I talk to other people, they’ll tell me what their plans are for the future but none will really give me their value and how their future mean to them. I think throughout life we all have to explore and find out the purpose and how much life weighs. We all know what we’re going to do in a week from now, but what about in 1 year ? The factors of money, family, fame. No there are so much more to life than just the surface of it. We need money to make a living, we need a family to support us through tough times, and fame is only temporary. What do we truly want and need for ourselves? Deep down, what do our heart thirsts and wish for? I don’t know, it’s something we all have to find out for ourselves. I tend to binge on my phone and use that as a way to escape reality but it just make me feel even more purposeless. I believe we all have to set boundaries with our relationship with electronics , and learn how to be present for the moment. Because in order to feel content and happy with ourselves, we have to learn to face the reality and solve the problems right now. There’s no way things just going to fall into place if we just stay on our phones all day long. We need to really figure out what’s causing us to feel this way in order to be able to fix it. This taught me courage. The courage to face the problem face on and solve it. The meaning of life can be really hard to define but I believe everyday we learn something. We learn that the meaning of life can change overtime and that we need patience and faith to keep going. Day by day, we can figure out many things and that’s what makes life fun and challenging. Life is meant to challenge us, allowing us to grow and find out what we want in life. It’s a long progress and we will fall apart someday, but we all will get up and pick ourselves back up!
     Life is pretty simple, people just make it seem more complicated than it really is. All you got to do is find the thing that can make you smile and be happy. Of course there are many other factors that contributes to your happiness. For example not every kid were able to be born into a happy and healthy family. Many things may not have start out right but sometimes that’s how life works. We have to keep pushing and know that life have so much more to offer us. Maybe it’s not at this moment but I’m sure it’s in your future. A great example is me. I never knew I’ll be writing this or even started to like reading. I’ve always despise the idea of reading in the first place, but I’ve found that some books are intriguing to read. The stories and places in a book can be so creative. It brings me to a totally different world and I’m just so glad I had the chance to fall in love with reading. Thus, things change overtime and just PLEASE, keep your dreams and have hope for your future. It’s hard but there are so many role models out there that can prove to you life has meaning.

     Babies are cute. Not because they’re newborn creatures but they are so innocent and adorable in nature. They laugh at the smallest thing ever and I think that’s what makes them so attractive and effortlessly cute! I imagine them as the happiest creatures on this world. This taught me a short lesson that’s so simple yet complicated. When you can be happy with the little things in life and live as a person with no filter, it can create so much more positive energy around you. Just thinking about this makes me want to smile and be happy. When you show more appreciation for what you have right now, you’ll not have to be sad over the things you don’t have in the presence. This practice of gratitude provides great reminder of what you do have and it’ll most likely cheer you up! Whenever I finish writing in my “daily appreciation journal” I’ll want to write more. And it’s really crazy on how much great things I’ve taken for granted in my life. I feel the happiest when I laugh at the stupidest thing ever. It’s so small but the amount of joy coming out of it is overwhelmingly great! It brings me back to when I was a toddler and I love it. The little things in life are what makes life great and you should look more closely on good things around you.
     I’ve learned many things in life. One of them is, life may be hard but you have to keep going. Because someday you’ll look back and notice that there were good memories. You would miss out on too many important days in life if you just give up everything here. You wouldn’t have been able to discover different versions of yourself. You wouldn’t have been able to attend your favorite band’s concert. You wouldn’t have met so many more positive and supportive people in your life. There are too many,hours,mornings, nights, days,events, years for phenomenal things to happen to you and it’ll all go to waste if you decide to throw all of it away. Life is truly a beautiful gift to human beings. I believe everyone should cherish everything in your life right now. Your parents, friends, every breathe you take, every meal you eat, the list goes on. Always remember how would you feel if you lose the people you have now? How different will things be if you’re not put in the same position you’re in now? It’ll definitely effect so many factors in your life so, look around you. And go thank all the friends you have, how caring your parents are to you, and little things you have already.
     Have you ever wonder to yourself, “how did I get here, how did these people enter my life and now I can’t let go?”Well you’re not alone here. I’ve been there many times and I can tell you how I feel with this situation. It’s a rush of emotion flowing in my heart that is coming from both fear and love. I fear that my life is too good to be true and that something bad is going to happen. I fear that I’m too blessed to have all these people in my life that I could lose anytime. Yet I’m still going to love them and treasure every moment with them. For what the future sees I don’t see, and I’m just going to be more courageous and live these moments with them to the fullest. I love them and appreciate them very much that I can’t even put them into words to express them. So what I’m trying to imply here is, I want you to understand that we are all blessed with people we love around us even if they’re not your family. They are blessed to have YOU with them here! DO NOT belittle your existence and live out your best life for yourself and for those who love you so deeply.
