1 Corinthians 13: 7-8 Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. ♡

I never ask for more.

When the truth hurts, it makes you shiver. The pain flows within and it hurts you so badly that you can actually feel it physically.

An Epiphany

I hope you and your loved ones are fine. These lines circulate for a couple of weeks now due to novel coronavirus, the virus that causes Covid-19. Lives have been lost. People are gravely ill. Many have been quarantined for weeks. This situation, I saw it as a challenge and as an opportunity to do better in life.

It is as if the earth stopped spinning, everyone stopped doing everything and this gave me the time to reflect. I have categorized three main topics - government, profession and self discovery.

First off, the government officials are now highly required to act for the betterment of their people. They are badly needed at this moment of crisis. It’s not just another day in the office but a real battle where their suits of leadership will be tested. And so, this is also the chance that outstanding leaders will be known for their passion, commitment and empathy. Alongside with that, we - the citizens will hopefully realize the worth of our votes.

I have read in some columns circulating online, “When this is over, let’s remember that it wasn't the CEOs and billionaires who saved us. It was the janitors, doctors, nurses, scientists, grocery and food workers”. And fair enough, it was to seemingly pay gratitude to the hard work of essential workers. These workers should realize that everyone is needed and any noble work is something to be proud of. I salute the policemen and military people who have gained my respect. During this calamity, they've actioned beyond leading troops and solving criminal activities.

Being in this situation might bring up the life we had before and the life moving forward. And I am speaking in general I believe. People might now actually realize the time they’ve spent on worthless doings versus what they should be doing for a higher purpose - for having true happiness. People might know each and everyone close to them during a bad situation - a friend, workmate or someone you look up to. On how they think, how they posted through social media, how they react and what do they do. Good or bad, I’m glad you have known them for real. I am also amazed at how companies or organizations can operate in this disastrous time. That we, the employee, can prove to our big boss that work from home is a possible way. That good act and help can be delivered in many ways. And lastly, I think that people will be more cautious about their health, to become fully aware that being healthy is a lifestyle.

Life is an everyday gift from God and every time you wake up, utter a praise of thanks. It won’t take even a second of your time.

After all the fireworks.

It is messy. It’s showing the parts of yourself that aren’t beautiful. The nights after all the romance. All the embarrassing things that have done. The frustration and error. It includes cursing and damn arguments.

But even after all the fireworks, when the bright sparkles are over, you still choose to stick around. And that is the most rewarding part, more festive than the beautiful moments we had beacuse you still choose to stay in this love.

Thank you.

Twenty Six Self

You’re officially on the tail-end of your mid-twenties. You’re a verified adult and everything are in between.

No one talks about how confusing this part of your life is. And for all the wondering, you just do not know the answer. But still you let the days go by knowing you lived and experienced everything you could.

Twenty-six should be celebrated. You’ve accomplished so much and you are empowered to be better than ever with the experiences you’ve had thus far. You love hard and want to love harder. You’ve been hurt, you’ve been happy, you’ve been confused, broken, lonely, all to get you to this place. This place where you should be prepared for the road and relationships ahead.

You are doing great, self. ♥️

Why most of the time I have such a hard time expressing myself in words?

I’ve used too many words when one would do.

Extra words are clutter which results to addition of words and feelings that are not needed.

They say, self expression doesn’t have to be difficult and so it seems that I’m covering some of my true feelings.

It requires that the person you’re talking to understands you.

No doubt.

It’s OK To Not Be OK

Someone was insulting my broad shoulders today. His terribly saying mean things about it and for him, it was just a totally joke sesh which is normal with this circle of people. But, for me, it feels like he touched a nerve on that moment. It’s a mix emotions since it is actually a sensitive subject for me. Body weight, vital statistics or to sum it all up - body issues. Most of the time I just brush off the bullying and be cool about it. But today was really not my best day and I am simply swept in the moment. I feel less confident, hurt, weak and annoyed.

Hear this — You look how you look. Be comfortable in your own skin. What you have inside is much more beautiful. Start to live with the way you are. You are no less valuable at a size. —These positive thoughts, I know it all. I am fully oriented of these inspirations and I admit, most of the time it really helps. But sometimes, it’s OK to not be OK. To allow yourself to feel every part of yourself. Be in touch with your emotions. Like what I believe, it doesn't make you less of a person.

I just want to share few words before I end this mind opening piece. You’ll never look good trying to make someone else look bad. And please take note, we are not perfect, you are not perfect and that is fine. Always try to be kind, for everyone you meet might be fighting a hard battle.

(1) I got promoted (2) You make me in the morning shift (3) I’m doing a new tech for a new project

What can I ask for? You have balance it perfectly. I’ve asked all of it last year yet you make me wait. It seems that I still survived last year just fine. And now, you pour all these best things when I need it the most. When I need to feel loved. When I need to feel that I am important. When I have doubts on my self. When I think twice on my self worth. When I am struggling to feel enough. You always make sure to fill my cup. You always make sure I feel Your hugs. You make it just right. You are always on time. Not gone and never late - You never let me walk alone.

I am not worthy and still you pour me with Your love Lord. Thank you.

[chocohoneydipdonut]

I want to do things because I want it for myself and not because of someone else or for something else. I want to have the most precious thing in this world - love for me beacuse it’s freely mine and not because I have earned it. I wanted it to be mine beacuse it was given naturally.

[chocohoneydipdonut]

Thank you for your hellos ☺️☀️

“I have called you by name, and you are mine.” 📖 Isaiah 43:1 📆 May 06, 2018

There are people I know that are doing things that seems to be improper for others. And there is this someone I know who just follow her heart and gave everything away. Who could have thought that it will bring a blessing? However, she always confess what others thought to be wrong. I know and I’m sure that she is already aware and honest for the fault she have done but what I notice is she always mention the outrage to the point that she is degrading herself like, “Maaga kasi kong lumandi”. It comes to me that it is enough that you have admitted to yourself that you have done wrong doings here on earth. But you do not need to lower yourself for others. To make any act or say anything that will make you undignified, unworthy, or dishonorable. Really, are the things improper to the eyes of the people are also unacceptable to His love? I strongly disagree. Whatever mistake you have done, know that He already forgives you. And that His love is enough to forgive yourself. Focus on the good things you have done and you can make. Remeber, someone loves you up there. 🙂
