Going Beyond Limits

So a lot of changes have come… I know that each one demands a different level of me… My body, my mind, my spirit, my heart, my direction, and my soul… This recent change has swept the Earth beneath me like the last few that have happened this year… It is beyond my control, all I can do is adapt and continue living my life to the fullest. The road has rough terrain ahead but I am built for this–the pain is inevitable but the suffering is temporary. I have no time to waste on silence nor mind games, I’ll find happiness where I can and prioritize my self-worth.  I’m working on healing my past wounds, cutting my cords, and strengthening my resolve. Each trial has been...

Inner rambles.

What’s the point of social media? It was created to supposedly connect people in one worldwide online community. What is it actually? A place where many call their home and others call it their hell.  ______ The way social media has gone, it’s more about images then words. It’s more about getting a hundred likes on a Instagram post or the latest Snapchat filter streak.

Its ingenuity lay in the fact that the...

Why we push people away and why it's not fine.

Why we push people away and why it's not fine.

Sometimes when we feel hurt or angry we tend to push people away. Often times, we end up hurting their feelings and destroying the relationship. Now, I have to admit that I too am guilty of this, but I have been trying to change it. It's not easy, but we'll get there :)  I came to realize that doing so, is not going to help solve the problem. In fact, it makes it worse. We want the other person to keep chasing us, but of course they're not mind readers. They don't know what you're thinking. Most of the times they will just assume that we want them out of our lives and stay away, which leaves us even more hurt cuz we think that we didn't matter enough to them. So, let's stop ruining...
