They say nothing lasts forever but they're just scared it will last longer than they can love it.

Something that I’ve noticed is that a lot of abundance comes when you are your authentic self.... like it sounds weird but when you are emitting the frequency of joy, peace, excitement, that energy comes back to you in a thousand ways. When you are in survival mode, doing something because you think you need to etc, that’s when life feels tough and like you are struggling to progress. Try relaxing and do more of what you enjoy. I’m not saying quit your job....but try to get out of that shit energy and do something that makes you happy whether it’s just listening to good music, reading etc and celebrate how good that feels and make a big deal about how good it makes you feel.

When you realize that you were actually happy

A few days ago I was talking about getting a new job and some changes in my life.

I felt useless because my husband was always working too hard, and studying at the same time, but I was just a housewife who was also a pastry chef by profession at home and who taught singing classes at church... I wasn't enough paid for those jobs, but I actually enjoyed it.

When I finally got the job, (I have to say I had my doubts because it was a job that once I had and the experience was totally awful), I tried so hard not to get sick of it. But I hated the shift, I arrived home at 1 am every single day, and I had to work on weekends.

All the time I had to share with my family, and enjoy the simple things I used to do, just disappeared... Then I thought: it really worth it?

Is it totally necessary to change all the things that make me happy just for a job, and just because I can't handle with other's opinions about my life and what I do?

Let me tell you something, guys... I quit. Immediately, just the day after my birthday (which I worked too). But I'm glad I experienced all those things, because I realized that I was completely happy and I didn't know that.

Happy teaching my students how to sing, happily married and enjoying all the stages of my marriage, happy baking everytime I can, happy with a lot of spare time to do the things I love to, and happy being a housewife, totally given to the things I really love. The simple things and simple details of life.

Nothing worth it if you're not happy. But the good new is that you can change and take a decision today. Don't waste your time living for others, it's your life, your time, your peace. IT'S YOU. And you're the most important thing in your life.

thinking about how love doesn't need to be vocalised to be loud. It's the small intimate moments like making dinner together, sharing inside jokes, the passing glances and the eye contacts in a crowded room, the occasional brushing or arms or legs bumping against each other under the table. It's how love can be expressed in so many other ways than words.

I'm not as cool as I used to be in highschool. That's something that I had to accept after finishing my studies and becoming an adult. The friendships that I used to have stopped talking to me, they changed a lot -and so did I. I had to learn the only true friendships I made when I was a child and a teenager wouldn't be always with me because they're also busy like me... but they would always be for me in the moments that I need a friend. Yeah, I'm no the coolest girl right now, the girl who had a lot of retweets and likes in her Twitter, Facebook and Instagram posts... I lost everything that made me feel special in some way, and that way was called "Attention". But I found myself and the really important things in my family, in God, in all the details that surrounds me everyday. And now I'm the coolest person, not only for my loved ones, but also according to me. Because I understood that everything that happens in our lives is a process, is a beautiful experience, is something that we need to value in the moment, because those moments won't come back again. And I'm very thankful for all the people I met in my life, even if they are still my friends or not. I'm also thankful for all the boyfriends I had when I was younger, because I learned all the things I like or not, and my weaknesses and my strengths and everything that made me a better woman for my husband. I became more mature, I grew up with a lot of insecurities but I feel I am the person, the human being that I always wanted to be and I didn't know. I feel proud of myself.

You’re most powerful when you honor your own rhythm. If your circadian rhythm is nocturnal, don’t follow those “waking up at 4 am changed my life” routines because they’re not for you. If you function best when you focus on a single task, single job, single goal, then working half a dozen sidehustles may not be for you. Honor your own rhythm, work with it instead of against it, and you will achieve so much more than if you blindly follow what’s considered “correct” by social conventions of the time.

Today I started working again, before the pandemic, my last job was as a graphic designer for a very important company, it took a very long time for me to adapt again to social life or any job, I applied to lots of jobs but never succeed... I felt really useless all those days, all those years after COVID-19, I thought I was too old, and I'm just 25. Just imagine. I thought I lost my skills, but I feel very proud I won the battle against the thoughts I had that I wasn't good enough for life. I hope somebody just read this, I always write but never receive any comment :(

Right now I feel pretty upbeat, (that's a word that I just learned in my English classes), because I'm doing better in my life. Before, I was always depressed without any reason, perhaps because I was too perfectionist. Actually I'm still too perfectionist, I can't lie. But perfectionism started to consume all my energy, and also began to affect other aspects of my private life, for instance, my marriage. I was wasting all my time making things "perfect" just to feel approved by other people. I never liked people to help me because I thought they weren't good enough to do things like me. And if somebody helped me with something, I had to redo that thing again, you know, that's a big problem. Being too perfectionist is my weakness but I'm trying to fix that. An advice or something that I'm applying in my life nowadays, is to live day by day, step by step, and if I can't do something today, I will do it next day, or when I'm free. After all, it's my time, and my mental peace. Do you guys have to deal with the same problem? What advice could you give to solve this issue?
