In My Own World

I read it somewhere on the internet that death isn't the opposite of life. Instead, death is a part of life. I couldn't agree more. One day we're all going to die. It's inevitable. But when the time comes, how do you want people to remember you? Or what reaction/s do you expect from people once they receive the news that you have passed away? I don't have any inheritance that I can leave nor I have published a well-written book (yet) that would make people remember my name. I've never even  invented anything that could contribute to the welfare of humanity. So basically, I'm just a nobody. But when the time comes that I'll be leaving this world, I want to be remembered as someone who brings sunshine to someone's life. I want to help other people in the best way that I can. I want to be remembered as someone who is capable of doing good deeds. I want to spread kindness to the people I meet. When I'm gone I want other people to remember me as someo...

Life isn't perfect. It's not always easy and it's not always happy. Difficulties and sadness are necessary for our growth. We have to be hurt every once in a while. We have to experience pain and disappointments. At times, we have to experience them through people who we've thought would never hurt us. We have to experience days that we thought we could never survive.  One of the best things about the worst days of our life is that we learn a lot. Hadn't we experience these bad days, we would never realize a lot of things. Lesson learned the hard way, you could say. Bad days in our life serve as an eye opener to us. They make us see things that we often overlook during the good days. At times, tough times had to happen to teach us something. Like when we are sick, it teaches us how to be more cautious with our health. Because often times we don't mind what we eat, what time we sleep, how badly we need to rest, or that we should exercise at least once in a while....

Quiet people are not silent cause they don't have anything to say. Instead, their minds are full of thoughts. They're just not the type to say what's in their mind.  There is power in being silent. You make people wonder what's going on in your head. They would lose their mind wondering what your're thinking, but they could never guess it. Unless they ask you, and even if they ask you, it's still up to you whether you're going to tell them the truth or make up some lies. You could already be murdering them in your head and they are still clueless. 😆 The power of being silent is you remain a mystery to other people.  Quiet people are more of thinkers and observers. They notice things. They keep quiet about it. They'll mull over it for a time and consider whether they'll disclose what they found out or not. Only to decide that they shouldn't. They let other people discover about it on their own. Quiet people aren't easy to fool since they are ...

They say that, "Time flies when you're having fun." But how come that I am not having fun, and yet time moves pretty fast? How is it that half the year is already gone?  It's so weird how the past 6 months seemed to happen only for 3 seconds. It's like earlier this morning I was thinking of what to post on social media as a "year-ender" post. And now I am already thinking of what to wear on Halloween party. Not that I attend a Halloween party. It's just fun to think of a costume and pretend to be someone I am not.  Anyway, the past six months. Before the year started I told myself that I shouldn't let 2023 pass just like the other years. I have to do something for myself. I have mentally listed my to-do list for this year. Now, it's already second half of the year and I still haven't ticked any on my to-do list. During the first half of the year I think all I did was get annoyed with a lot of things. I didn't plan it. It just happene...

Pain is probably the worst thing a person could ever feel. The word itself is hurtful enough. The worst kind of pain would have to be emotional. Pain from a wound is somehow still bearable and can be mend. You know that it will only last for a few days. Then your wound will turn into a scar. Then one day the scar will fade away like nothing happened. But when you are hurt emotionally, you don't know until when it will last. There's no pain killer that can that could stop the pain. There's no bandage that could help stop the bleeding. There's no ointment you could put to easily remove the scar.  There's no exact formula on how a person should deal with an emotional pain. We all have different ways on how we handle it and how we get over from something that deeply hurt us. At the same time, we have different tolerance when it comes to pain. Some could appear very resilient. It seems like nothing could hurt them. They seem to be tough as steel. On the other hand, there...
