20 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO EVERYDAY 1. Wake up earlier. Not only does this improve productivity but it also gives you more time to make a good, hearty breakfast. 2. Make your bed. Let’s be real, being welcomed to a tidy bed after a long day at work/school (or a long day in general) is probably the best feeling anyone will ever experience. 3. If you want, spend a little more time on your appearance. Take some time choosing an outfit, applying make up or whatever. Do what helps you boost your confidence and self-esteem. 4. Stay hydrated, folks. Keep a bottle of water with you wherever you go. 5. Stretch everyday or start yoga (or do both, why not?) 6. Create a playlist consisting of songs that make you happy and listen to it. Listen to songs for the mood you want to be in, instead of the mood you are in. 7. Compliment at least one person per day. This could be an acquaintance, co-worker, class mate, stranger, whoever! 8. Use your manners. If someone holds the door for you, lets you go first etc, they did it voluntarily and didn’t have to do it, so a “thank you” wouldn’t hurt. 9. Eat your fruit and vegetables and always choose the healthy version over the junk food. 10. Have a good laugh. Catch up with friends, watch some ‘Parks and Recreation’, go see some stand-up comedy, reminisce about funny moments that have happened to you. You don’t need to be a doctor to know that humour has many benefits. 11. Be optimistic. Always look at the positives. There’s no point on focusing on the negatives because that isn’t going to help anyones mood at all. 12. Exercise. It doesn’t have to be anything to intense. A run around the block, a walk with your dog or even a ‘Just Dance’ session will do the job. 13.Bring a book/magazine or collect the daily newspaper with you. Spend you spare time reading. 14. Try and learn something new everyday. This can either be an interesting fact you saw online or a new skill someone taught you. 15. Help others when you are able to. Help your classmates with school work or offer to help you struggling neighbour lift those heavy objects. 16. Stop procrastinating. No matter how unmotivated you are to, push yourself and complete what you need to complete. Do what you gotta do. You know you’ll love yourself for doing it. 17. Drink some tea, because that stuff is goooooood (and also beneficial). 18.Make time to do things that help you relax, whether that’s painting, having baths, doing you nails or going for a run. 19. Don’t dwell on your mistakes, but instead grow and learn from them. 20. And lastly, be kind to yourself. If you love who you are, everyone else will

most importantly love like it’s the only thing you know how at the end of the day all this means nothing this page where you’re sitting your degree your job your money nothing even matters except love and human connection who you loved and how deeply you loved them how you touched the people around you and how much you gave them milk and honey

Melancholic tears washed the moon dust on my cheek As I listen to my heart beating with despair Looking for footprints as I embrace the solitude of my desolateness
Torn between giving up and holding on.

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”
— Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image.”
— Thomas Merton, The Way of Chuang Tzu
“Feelings aren’t sensible. Sometimes you fall in love with people who don’t make sense. And the ones who do make sense turn out to be the wrong ones.”
— Danielle Steel, Legacy
“And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.”
— Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

Going 8 Years
Amazed. That's how every other person I encounter tells me when they knew I have been single for so long. I myself wonder how come I managed to stay away from being in a relationship. Not that I planned it this way. I couldn't find a proper excuse. I don't want to explain myself because that would mean I'd have to start from the very beginning.
Now I'm turning 28 years old a few days from today. I still couldn't wrap it up - how did I manage to be so alone? I could only think of a few things that may justify every curious acquaintance's question.
Circa 2010. I found love I thought would last - but it didn't. It was as if I had a very nice dream until someone woke me up. He's not for me. Maybe because the happiness was so short lived I always thought there'd be more of us. So I waited. Yes, I did for so long. I never really admitted it until 2015 when I found out he's not gonna come back. Someone told me he's going to be a father.
Everytime someone comes up to me, I always try to see a piece of him in every single guy I meet. Which I know is wrong. There had been multiple attempts but I just didn't see myself with any of them. Perhaps they got tired of me. I lost interest in dating. Partly because I'm afraid. I'm afraid to go through the same pain.
It felt like he was the reason, but I know it's not just him. I focused in helping my family. I tried to know myself better. I met a few good people who helped me grow. I let my heart heal on it's own. Until I could think of him without feeling any pain. It was a long, painful, but worth every lesson process.
At this moment in life, a part of me knows I'm ready to love again. However I've made up my mind not to settle for anything less. I look for genuineness and sincerity. Something exceptional, not just physically but something else I couldn't explain. I just know that with God's guidance I'll recognize him in a heartbeat.
Until then, I'll continue to be myself or maybe more. I couldn't wait for a warm tight hug. For I know I'll be able to give more this time. So, please hurry and come find me. I'm just here - waiting. 💛

Wide arms. Broad shoulders. Warm tight hug. These sums up what my soul needs.
Elleb
Maybe I'm not easy to love. But could you atleast just try?
Elleb
I'm not chasing love. Nor am I running away from it. I just need it to come spontaneously as if I wasn't expecting it my entire life.
