´bout life and stuff

[shineofsoph]

Just a little note for the holidays coming your way: Dreams do come true.

Merry Christmas, I hope you spend them with those who are closest to you. Sending love xx

Life without difficulties would be too easy, and to be honest, even boring. Sometimes you make a mistake, sometimes everything goes pear-shaped and sometimes it seems like everyone is trying to put you down. But in the end, you are much more likely to learn from a mistake than from doing everything as it 'should' be. And if they think that you can't do it ? Just show them that you can! Because, in reality, you do be able of anything you set on your mind.

Things to do when you are feeling low:

read a book

listen to the music

go for a walk

spend time surrounded by nature

hang out with your friends

prepare yourself a food that you like

stay hydrated

use less technologies and social medias

dance in your own rhytm

sing your favorite songs

move your body a bit

spend time with your family

get a proper sleep

wear comfy clothes

watch the stars

read a poemliwrite sonething

draw a random picture

observe monuments and architecture

take notice of the details

listen to the sounds of nature

enjoy every moment.

[shineofsoph]

Just be.

Do you ever feel the pressure of not making something in time? Do you ever feel that you are “behind”, that you should do something and if you don´t make it, you just won´t be worth living on this planet?

Well, you might be shocked, but we actually make this pressure ourselfes. You don´t really have to do anything. Seriously. You don´t. It´s just in your head.

Before people strived for surviving. That was their only aim. To survive. And they spent hours looking for some food, for a place where to sleep, surrounded by their loved ones and enjoying every moment of their short lives.

With time, the idea of having something more to live for arised. People had more possibilities, more security and more time. And they kept chasing their dreams.

I´m definitely not saying it is bad to have some dream, something big you want to achieve. No! I do have mine, too. But you don´t need to be productive all the time. Allow yourself to have a rest. To do nothing. To spend time in the nature. To just be.

Because – you never know. What might happen tomorrow?

[shineofsoph]

It´s all up to YOU.

If you feel lost, desperated and unmotivated from all the events of the previous year, this is for you.

I know, things seem to get only worse, you are already exhausted from the endlessly repeating time loop and that called “normal life” seems to be just a distant memory you will never actually expierence again. Shall we all die? Is this the end of the world?

I´m not gonna give you answer to these questions but I can advise you in case you feel unmotivated to do your stuff because you just simply think it lacks of sense when we are all gonna die anyway.

Do you want to give up and just wait for the Death to come to you? Will you give all your previous effort up?

Or you´ll try despite the circumstances because you simply love it and you´ll enjoy the rest of your life (no matter how long) to the fullest?

It´s up to you, I guess.

It´s all up to you.

One place – thousand worlds

Recently, I have found out how divergent can be one single place at different times. It is all dependent upon what you do and with who. You can have so many memories from one room, yet they are all so different that you would never say they all come from one space. I guess it is just the way how to travel in time – because when you start doing the one exact thing (with your friends or just alone) which is connected to the memory, suddenly the memory will arise, you´ll get the same feelings and it will feel completely like in the past. Let´s just say that time is not linear but more like cyclical – right?

[shineofsoph]

When you aren't able to do suicide because you just find the life too beautiful, you are on a good way.

[shineofsoph]

They say youth is the most beautiful time of your life. But I couldn´t disagree more. The most wonderful time is always the one you are experiencing now - the present. Not the past nor the future - just now. And after all, now you have it all, now you have everything you really need, but later only memories will remain.

[shineofsoph]

Life lessons - always worth it.

It is definitely that sometimes we just have to lose what we had in order to find out how lucky we used to be. I could say we should always appreciate what we have and try to look on the bright side of everything rather than complain about the dark and try to change it. Because then it seriously changes and you´ll realise that you have more likely stepped out of the frying pan into the fire.

But - you know what? Even if that happens, it is exactly the way it should be. Mistakes happen and this is just another life lesson for you. You don´t have to feel guilty for that. And who knows, maybe things will turn out diferently than they seem to be in the beginning...

[shineofsoph]

A bit late, but Merry Christmas and happy New Year guys! It's so beautiful to see that even now, in the 21st century and in the end of the intriguing year 2020, true love still exists and people still tend to spend time with their loved ones and celebrate Christmas together. How Aphrodite said: 'Love conquers all.'

[shineofsoph]

There are actually no mistakes. What happens is always right at the moment. And who defines what's bad and good, after all?

[shineofsoph]

The simpler it is, the harder it gets.

[shineofsoph]

Repeat after me and repeat that every day:

Today is the best day in my life.

[shineofsoph]

Plans are good, but the best things in life always happen spontaneously. If you aren't sure what is the next step you should make - just keep calm and take a deep breath. It will find you ;).

[shineofsoph]

I guess it is a good sign when my home city reminds me of my dream city? Anyway, sunsets are love and a living proof that you can always find something positive in your day, no matter what. Keep that in mind ;).

[shineofsoph]

If you feel that it doesn´t work no matter how hard you try, if you feel disappointed and lost - this is for you. Never lose your hope. Things will get better, it just takes time. Don´t compare your path to anyone´s other´s because your story is unique and even if it feels worse or somehow not correct - trust the process. Everything is absolutely as it should be.

[shineofsoph]

There´s always room for improvement.
