LOVE

They say distance gives a reason to love harder, but I say love should be a constant factor in our lives, one that doesn’t increase nor decrease because of distance, humps, times or anything else.

'The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.' Morrie Schwartz. 

We tend to think that the people in our lives are there because they should be there, that it’s how life should be but it’s not! The community we live in, the relationships and friendships we all got, they are what we choose and nurture, not an entitlement of life. 

Sometimes we see the value of the people we have when they are gone, we write love words on our socials, dedicate songs, express our gratitude and love to the people that can no longer see it! Life is a circle of on and offs, let’s not keep the off switch going around for long. It is a circle of push and pull, let’s not push to achieve things and forget to pull love and people closer.

May we not take what we have for granted because the future is not ours to plan. May it never be too late to say I love you again, too late to hold those we love, too late to show appreciation and affection to them or too late to recognize that what we have is a gift like no other.

 “The greatest gift you can give someone is your time because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back.” Morrie Schwartz.

Let us dedicate our time to loving and cherishing the people around us when we still can. Tomorrow is not guaranteed so live in love and avoid the what “if I had done, said or showed” regrets.

Love, hold and care for the people in your life, it’s the only meaningful way one can live.

Emotions

Ever thought about how your emotions impact those around you? A book I'm reading, What You Feel You Can Heal , compared emotional expression to the physics of a see-saw, and it got me thinking. When you suppress your feelings, someone close to you might unknowingly pick up on them and express those emotions instead. Picture it: you’re sitting on one end of the see-saw, holding down your feelings, and the person on the other end gets pulled up, reflecting what you’ve been trying to push down. I can’t help but remember how, as a child, I would worry(I guess I still do) when my mom seemed uneasy, even though she'd always say, "Everything's fine." The more I worried, the more she tried to calm me, which only made me feel more anxious. This is exactly the phenomenon the book describes: “The people close to you will act like mirrors, reflecting back to you a perfect image of yourself, including the parts of yourself you would rather not look at or deal with.” This isn’t...

Forgiveness

It is said that forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself, but again, isn't it the hardest thing to do? But who said we shouldn't do hard things? Why should it be more easier to forgive others than ourselves?  We tend to think that forgiving ourselves is excusing our mistakes or forgetting the past, but it's not! When we forgive ourselves, we are just embracing our imperfect journey, we are acknowledging that we are humans, that we will stumble, that our mistakes don't define us, and that however much we may fall short, we are still worth of compassion, still worth of love, and that we deserve a fresh start. Forgiving yourself is not running away from whatever you might have done. It's a brave act of letting go of the heavy burden of guilt, shame, and regrets that you always carry around. It is a quiet, rebellion against your inner voice that always whispers how you ain't good enough, how you're such a bad person beyond repair, how you're a ...

Firsts

We all tend to live by the saying “live every day as your last” I read in a book that we shouldn’t actually say that! that lasts are tragic and we should instead live every day as our first since firsts are exciting and I couldn’t agree more! Imagine being told that you only have few days left to live… would you really laugh genuinely, would you be able to go to places or talk to people with enthusiasm? Would you boldly say that’s it?! That you did it all? that you laughed your hardest, helped others, enjoyed life, and loved yourself and others fully in your time here?  Now think of how exciting it is to do something, be somewhere or meet someone for the first time. Think of how each day would be a celebration and an accomplishment, think of how at the end of the day you’d be happy to recall how exciting and satisfying the day was, and think of how if that day was to actually be the last you’d smile and say oh I’ve definitely lived!  Lasts are indeed tragic and sometimes full ...
