Lately my life has felt like one, long, heart wrenching never ending movie. I had been thinking of what to do next after I achieved a certain goal without even giving myself time to live my dreams. It has just been "Next it's this,"

To put it simply, I don't give myself time and grace, especially when I make mistakes. My wake up call was having to end a relationship which I was very committed to, and I can't help but realise that I fear growth sometimes, I don't acknowledge it, instead I immediately look for something to distract me until I find my next distraction. I'm realising that I just keep stepping out of my comfort zone and I jump right into it.

But of course, I need time, everyone has been telling me this. To just take my time and feel each feeling, and to understand where my thooughts and emotions are coming from. Of course, I prayed a lot over whether or not to continue my relationship with this guy. Neither of us were perfect but I felt very safe around him, but for reasons I don't want to disclose- I had to end the relationship. It was weighing me down and I hated that. But moving on? I'm even scared of the thought, but of course, baby steps, taking each day step by step and trying to get better.

Aside from having to say goodbye to someone whom I dearly love, one thing that has really been stressing me out is coming to terms with the reality of adulthood. As a teenager, I thought being an adult was going to be filled with independence and good vibes, but that's not entirely true. I'm learning that I need to lean onto someone sometimes and that it's easier said than done- but the hardest thing I'm learning is prioritising myself and my needs. I have to put myself first without feeling selfish or guilty and some of the things I do are for my own good and that's okay. I know that some of us have been raised to think that we don't live for ourselves and that it's selfish to think of yourself... but it really isn't. You have to make sure that you have taken care of yourself before you go take care of others.

That's all I can say for now, I'll try posting more on here, hopefully I become consistent with my unfiltered self love journey and feel more like myself again.

Hello, I started this blog to hold myself accountable as I start my self improvement journey. I've had my ups and downs and I hope to learn from every experinece from now on. A few years ago I realised that I wasn't living up to my full potential. I was stuck in a slump and extremeley demotivated. Now, at 20 years I've had enough of being stuck in a loop of thinking if things will ever get better while doing nothing about it. I want to improve my life and start living for myself.

Through this blog I'll be focusing on achieving my goals, cultivating a positive mindset, selfcare (not just pampering myself), healthy eating and mindfulness. I hope to document this journey and bring you along with me, and to inspire others alopng the way for anyone who feels the same way.

Each week, I'll be sharing my progress, things I've learned and things that have helped me. Whether it's a quote, a book or just an epiphany, I'll share about it so we can all grow together.

I would love to build a safe community where we can all share our progress and tips as we grow into the best versions of ourselves, so feel free to join me if you'd like, use the tag #sliceofmylife if you want to be part of the journey 😊

I still have a few more posts to make, such as an introductory post, my goals, and much more!

I've been inactive for a long time, but I'm back and in the headspace to post. I recently lost a relative, and it was hard to get past that and also started clinical practice this month. My cat also died today so I'm upset about that as well.

Moving on, I had the thought to post on this blog but I wasn't sure of what exactly to post about- then I realised that I never set my goals and how I'll achieve them. So here they are:

I'll split them into my long term goals (things I want to achieve in the long run) and short term goals (things I want to do or start in a short amount of time)

My long term goals are:

1) Start learning one language before I graduate college (Arabic, German or Italian)

2) Gain 5 kilograms

3) Save a certain amount of money to put into a savings account.

4) Graduate with an average grade of 85%

5) Learn to dance and consistently work out

6) Get certified to become a cosmetologist and nail tech.

7) Minimise overly processed foods and eat healthy.

I hope to achieve these goals within the next two years since I graduate in December 2026.

My short term goals are:

1) Reduce my screentime to 6 hours a day.

2) Learn to crochet, knit, and sew.

3) Learn to plait hair

4) Walk 15k steps daily, but for sick days 5k steps minimum.

5) Start working out and learning yoga.

6) Create a linkedin profile.

7) Begin posting on my instagram blog.

8) Start sleeping at 11pm latest.

These are habits and things I want to start straight away, I am yet to strategise on HOW I'll get these things done, but I know I'll get there. For now, my main priority is to get enough sleep because being a healthcare girlie is not easy! I have to build my routine around each rotation I'm in, so it's not easy, especially for weekend shifts.

That's all for today, I hope that I can post tomorrow on both my tumblr blogs. Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a lovely day/night😊🫶🏾

Pictured are some pomegranate flowers from my old house and my desk today while I had breakfast, I started to watch Shooting Stars on Netflix, so far I'm enjoying it.

"Puisi ini berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi yang aku ceritakan sendiri Ketika menyambangi konter puisi, Bertemu langsung dengan Bang Sandi Pukul 12 malam, di hari Sabtu yang beranjak Minggu, Beliau mendengarkan kisahku Yang telah lewat dua tahun lalu Entah berapa teguk kopi dan berapa batang rokok yang beliau habiskan Untuk mencari pencerahan Agar karyanya mengesankan Dan aku hanya mampu bergumam, 'Ya Tuhan' Aku terbawa, teringat akan semua perasaan yang dulu pernah singgah dan bertahan Ku rasa tak perlu diungkapkan lagi Cukup puisi ini yang mewakili" #poem #poetry #konterpuisi #latepost #sliceofmylife #saturdaynight #words
