Calming souls through writing and doodling

“After all, soul mates always end up together.”

“Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”

— Finn Butler, From The Wreckage

“I am thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled upon my strength.”

“Life is meant to be lived. Chase after what you feel called to do. Does it make you happy? Yes? Then do it. Live in a way that feels right to you.”

Everything feels suffocating.

Each day is becoming a series of constant reassurance that things will be ok. When does it end tho? Kasi ang hirap na.

You glow when you grow, you grow when you let go.

[charwrote]

Sometimes the greatest force for change is realizing you don’t like the person you’re seeing in the mirror anymore.

[charwrote]

I was proud of myself when I finally had the courage to let you go even when I knew I didn’t want to. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt though.

[charwrote]

Sometimes all we need is a little compassion from ourselves

[charwrote]

I’m a firm believer of you should always do your best, but you should assess where that best is not only most needed, moreover where it is appreciated.

[charwrote]

If you’re crying for the past 2 years for the same reason, for the same person… then maybe it’s just better to move on,

[charwrote]

Sorry. I can’t be there for you anymore. Because I need to be here for me, too.

[charwrote]

For some reason I always find my way back to you.

[charwrote]

Somehow, when something is meant for you they always come back even if it feels impossible.

Six months ago I was learning about self love and decided to expound my knowledge on financial literacy, a year ago I was in my lowest, 5 years ago I was preparing for the end of my 2nd year in college, 10 years ago I was probably at my grandmother’s house enjoying the remaining days of Summer with my cousins. So much has changed.. so much has progressed. I never imagined I’d be where I’m at now. I’m in awe on what the past 6 months has done for me or how I was in such a different emotional and mental state since last year. It’s also funny how 10 years ago I thought I’d be a CEO of a large company, 5 years ago I was sure I’d marry the person I was with, a year ago I thought I won’t be in this city anymore. It came to my senses that I will never be able to tell and control what time has for me; and that’s beautiful. Life is full of surprises — what you believed then could be something you don’t believe now, the people you were with then could just be a stranger now, the dreams you had then could be totally different with what you’re wanting to be now, the wounds you had then, hopefully, already healed by now. One thing I know for sure is that everything is happening for us, we just have to wait on how life will unfold through time. So right now, I try to be mindful with where I am, with the persons I’m with, and with all the feelings I have because I don’t know if I’ll be able to experience these the 2nd time around. I’m grateful for my past, contented with my present, and excited for what the futures has in store for me. To answer the question, to be honest I don’t know and I don’t want to think about it — maybe I’ll just let time tell me.
