To Me, Love Me

It's not enough to love everyone, but not yourself. It's not right to doll up glam for someone, but not for yourself. It's not good to love yourself, because of someone.

You have to love you!

Be confident, because of you, and it's for you!
Get into style, beauty, and fashion, because you have confidence! And it's for no one else but you!

Don't wait around for compliments, love, and respect. Start yourself! For your own eyes, and then the world! Love yourself, and the world will too.

Work on that self-esteem girl, feel stronger, dress up anytime you want, pamper the skin, do things for you- and you'll be glowing like a star.

See Saw of Life

"I am a Nobody. And Nobody is perfect. Therefore I must be perfect."

At different points in time, we will encounter a tumble and stumble, a slip and trip, that block us from our goals and objectives- to make us tougher and wiser.

Stumbling blocks are chances that we can take as stepping stones, and wounds can be translated into wisdom, if we will. Humans stray easily, and therefore need constant reminders, to keep our movements consistent. Don't kill yourself each time you fall.

When it's all too hard, it's so easy to give in. Declare failure, and dismiss change. The test is in implementing maintenance; despite the many uninviting events that twist our conditions and trial us again. We are examined to see whether we can walk the talk, bounce back up, climb out, and try once more.

Mistakes are healthy; wrongs in a lifetime will eventually lead you to the right. Be honorable, and stand up after each blow. We learn, change, and develop, after the guilt, and bad. Don't be scared to seek comfort from loved ones. Ask for a hand to get out of the quicksand. Reverse the wrongs, and revert back to the right.

This Thing Called Love

If you love someone because you think that he is really gorgeous, then it's not love, it's Infatuation.

If you love someone because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't, then it's not love, it's Compromise.

If you love someone because you think that you cannot live without his touch, then it's not love, it's Lust.

If you love someone because you have been kissed by him, then it's not love, it's Inferiority Complex.

If you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings, then it's not love, it's Charity.

If you love someone because you did everything with him, then it's not love, it's Friendship.

But if you feel the pain of the other person more than him, even when he is stable, and you cry for him, that's Love.

If you get attracted to other people, but stay with him without any regrets, that's Love.

If you let him go knowing that he has to go, but deep inside you don't want to, that's Love.

Sea Shells On The Sea Shore

Life is like the beach.

We are all mere wanderers, strolling along the water, bending down to pick up shells of unique carve and mold, which are like experiences in disguise.

Everyday we stumble across a memory of sort, an experience, and lesson, to learn from, and keep in our box of collections, as we slowly walk through this journey.

The shells we collect can represent the new people we meet, the discoveries we make, the odd characters we learn about, the knowledge bank we widened, the values and qualities we strive to embody, and the life we try to make meaning of.

Smile while you encounter the scattered shells on the sand, with optimism and faith that it is all meant to be, with reasons from the Above, while only more await.

Love is ?!

Who loves us, hurts us.
But why then do we stay and continue taking the pain?
Is it the power of them or the power of love?

There is pain, but also love. And hate, but then care.
When we try to weigh the ends, in search for a balance, we may find it we may not.
So do we still stay, or should we leave?

An experience of the highest highs and the lowest lows.
From incredible, over-the-top joy, to ouch! breakdown of the unbelievable- I want to pull the plug now!
Lots of trying and crying, but that's love; because the pain wasn't meant to stop.

Hard Work All The Way

"Smooth roads never make good drivers. Calm seas never make good sailors. Clear skies never make good pilots. A problem free life never makes a strong person."
 
"At times the ladder of success appears insurmountable. Just remember that the field of flowers was started seed by seed, blossom by blossom, step by step."

The best of success comes not overnight. Don't take the highway, if you want sweet gratification. Victory is an uphill climb; where willpower matters. Working hard for what you yearn, makes the ending special.

What comes easily to us, is what we will forget first, and value less.Without the investment of effort and time, we shouldn't deserve praise for our names. We attach highest importance for the achievements we work the hardest for. Be determined, disciplined, and train that brain to believe. There will be obstacles to challenge your strength and ability; but don't quit, just overcome them, they happen because it's normal!

Good luck :)

Misconception of The Fairy Tale

Wrapped up in plenty fantasy, leads you quite ignorant of reality. Many girls, like myself, must have been living with the wrong impression of the fairy tale storyline. The happy ending, kiss of forever, and Prince Charming concept was given such heavy emphasis, that the parts where each protagonist struggled and suffered was never highlighted.

How sneaky and unhealthy is that!

All along I bet you've been comparing your love life to your Disney favourite (to name a few- Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty), and expecting your relationship to resemble crystal perfect and problem free as theirs! When that's all not true!

Of course, the entire movie is a fantasy fabrication, but there are great lessons to learn! Not all immaculate, and therefore similar to lovers in reality, characters in these folk tales too were pained and tested, in such creative ways.
 
Ariel of Little Mermaid sacrificed her voice for the love of her life, Snow White ate the poisoned apple for her forever love, Cinderella suffered shame and ill-treatment by her family to have Prince Charming at her feet, while Princess Aurora was blocked by the evil witch.

Do you feel better now? A little more hopeful? 

There's a battle we all face, to make it to the end. The hardship is a fight, but the ending will be enchanting :)

Time Waits For No Man

Did you know it's a sin to waste time?
To let time pass you without using it for good use?

Could just be the reason why time's flying now. It probably doesn't want to wait for those who don't care.

Every clock is programmed to make you catch up with it, time doesn't stand still. You can't rewind, or fast forward, you only have the present. So be wise and maximize!

Fill hours with constructive and productive activities. Things like work, exercise, working, fostering good relationships, entertainment, religion, and sleep. Prioritizing time engineers us to be disciplined, punctual, respectful, and mindful of limits. 

Home Sweet Home

Your sweetest residence. The place you go out from and come back to, in the morning, in the day, in the night. An atmosphere of warmth and comfort created specially for you.  

Private and personal space, utilized to execute any wish,  from living and relaxing, to slacking and expressing. A carved shelter for the precious moments of kick-back, lie-down, sleep and cuddle, talk and laugh.

Your safest place, sanctuary from the outside, and own little cave where you title as king or queen. No place in the world more snug and convenient, to curl up and rest cozy. Rosy and cushy, your exclusive heaven on earth.
