- Open Up -      Caught between a strong mind, and a fragile heart. When it is the train of thought that causes you not to give up and keep courage, but the heart that does not dare to trust after being wronged. That which stays out of balance, but continues to fight.      How strong a person is, has nothing to do with the gap of incomprehension. If we could look into each other's heart and understand the unique challenges each of us faces. I think we would treat each other more gently, with more love, tolerance and care.      This gap will show itself in solitude. As long as we do not listen to each other, we have no understanding and respect for each other, there is nothing that can bridge this distance. Not until they learn to open up and act with pure and sincere intentions.

- Expectations -      Just always be the better person. And make your intentions pure. What and who you are is what will be remembered. Pain is inevitable and it will always exist, but if you focus on understanding what you are and what you are feeling, and why you are feeling it, you will overcome it.      The expectations we have often do not correspond with reality, we are disappointed every time this happens. We become disappointed when we expect to be treated as we treat others. When you start to realize that everyone is living at a different stage, thinking differently and making their choices, then you can only accept the fact that people do not share the same mind and heart. When you want to be happy, you have to let go of that and start with yourself, be the person you can be proud of, be an example, show respect and understanding. Others may not change, but know that it is not up to you and be proud of how you are.      You've got so much soul to be handled by someone who has never been passionate.

- Learn to See -      The most attractive thing about you should have less to do with your face and body, and more to do with your heart and how you treat other people.      Let's face it, we see an appearance first and have our first impression based on an appearance. Our appearance is where we can hide behind. But an appearance does not say anything about a character. Nowadays it seems that we judge each other on our appearance, who we are and what we stand for does not seem to matter. No effort is made to get to know the person behind an appearance.      It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. Not our eyes. The whole world is in our minds. Learn to see things in proper light. Learn to see souls instead of bodies, by using your mind instead of your eyes.

- Uncertainties - Uncertainties, a feeling of incomprehension and doubt. You crave confirmation, you want to be seen, be heard, and maybe even be understood. There was a time when I felt insecure. The uncertainties were caused by a lonely feeling, a piece of misunderstanding. For a while I have done my best to meet other people's expectations, to get confirmation, recognition. I thought it was important how other people saw me, what they thought of me. I was your comfort, your help and your distraction. I was there for you, but where were you for me?? I wanted to help you, see you, listen to you. Was it my mistake to expect the same from you?? In my uncertainties, I wondered, what can I do, to be seen, to understand for once?? And it remained silent. I felt used, I felt inferior and unimportant. My insecurities faded when I realized that I have always remained myself. I was there for you, I had respect and understanding. I let myself be used. And you showed me how I do not want to be. I found my strength where I lost it. The uncertainties are a thing of the past. I have found enough respect in myself, pride and understanding. I am here for you, always. But I no longer doubt myself, because of your shortcomings.

- Support - One of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing halfway through how much you enjoy them and their existence. Your whole life, things are expected of you, you are expected to make a career, that you score well and have achieved a certain status. But life is not about status and work. These are extras. What matters is that you can develop as a person. That you simply learn, discover and enjoy your journey. So instead of worrying about the numbers and status, you have to enjoy the journey and the small moments that can mean so much more. I want to be around people that do things. I don't want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things.

- Live - It is important to know who you are, what you stand for and how you want to see yourself. You have your whole life for you, and you determine what you do with it and how you will experience your journey. There is no one who can tell you who you are, because you decide for yourself. You make your own choices, you choose you own direction and you determine your own steps. Think about who you are, think about how you position yourself against others. Think of your qualities and your intentions. See yourself as the person you want to be, without thinking about your status, your score, your ability or the people around you. Nothing or nobody should affect who you are as a person, who you are in terms of thinking, who you are in your actions. The life you have for you is your chance to follow your dreams, to discover, to develop and to enjoy yourself. Imagine a life in which you are completely yourself, in which you fulfill your dreams. Live your life.
