The year is new!

Another year rolled out, and you are still fidgeting with your dreams, aren't you?

Life changes year after year. Some disappointments you faced, some challenges you dealt with and you even achieved small goals. But, you aren't proud of yourself, all because "IT'S NOT THE LIFE YOU WANTED", eh?

Life is what is happening to you, right now. Even if you like it or not.
If you have to change something, step up.
If you want to be happy, embrace the niceness that is already around you.

How long would you keep fighting with yourself, for the chances you didn't take, for the mistakes you made?

STOP. Take a deep breath. Be proud of what you have. Proud of what you did.
Give a last look at the year you lived. Embrace the realizations you had.
If there is a decision to make, listen to your gut feeling. You ALWAYS know what is best for you. It's only self-doubt and fear that keeps you away from doing things that you want. The best advice somebody gave me this year was, "Believe that nobody else is above you." and trust me, nothing else will help you have self-confidence, other than this notion. After all, it is Your life and YOU are supposed to be a hero.
Living in the past? DON'T. It left you, long ago. 
The year is new. And opportunities will be new.
Seize them, before the year ends again. 

Depression? Well, KILL it. 
And really, have a HAPPY New Year, because if it isn't happy, what's the point?

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

Why Solo Travel might be Overrated

There are people who claim to love travelling alone. They claim that it helps them know themselves "better" and have some me-time. But, I live in a city where I face language barrier and have to spend a lot of time alone. Thus, when it comes to travelling, I doubt if I would ever want to go to another place far away and wish to do the same. Roam around alone with no one to giggle with. It is hard to accept that you don't enjoy me-time, as other people have this opinion that "intelligent" people would always love to do the same. There are billion intelligent, shit-crazy thoughts that pass through their mind when they are travelling and they can manage everything all by themselves. Why would you want to spend time alone, when you rarely get to enjoy a family time? Where is the world taking you? When you are out there on the beach all by yourself, won't you miss your funny friend who makes you giggle all the time? Won't you want to be with a partner ...

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but ...
