Adapt (to) Change

  Life goes on, which means nothing lasts forever. Whether you’re currently in a paradise you want to stay forever or in a dark place you want to get out, you won’t be there forever. Not sure if it's a good or bad news for you, but you will not be in this situation forever. Life keeps changing, and life wants you to change too. Change is something inevitable, so change should be something we all expect, in both yourself and things around you. Life doesn't want you to stay the same forever. Life expects you to change, because life knows it will be harder for you to fit in if you doesn't. Life expects you to keep adjusting and adapting too, because life wants you to go along with it so you will not get left behind. Life keeps moving on, so should you.

Twenty Twenty (One)

  Twenty twenty. Thank God 2020 is over. Twenty twenty will be one of the legendary years. Perhaps in the previous year, none of us would predict what would happen in 2020. The world suddenly changed significantly, just like that. I would say it was the year of losing . So many things we lost. Many people lost their jobs. Many people lost opportunities. Many people lost their mental health. Many people even lost their simple reasons to smile. And the worst is, many people lost their lives and lives of people they love. But after all, if you're still here today, congratulations. You just survived 2020. It's such an achievement. For me, 2020 wasn't really the year to achieve more or set higher goals. It was simply the year to survive, to feel enough, and to be grateful and appreciate what you have. It was the year that life taught us to be stronger, to accept the uncontrollable, to prepare for the worst yet still be hopeful and faithful for the best. Twenty twenty one. Now we

Rain and Rainbow

People say there's rainbow after rain, but aren't you tired to just sit, do nothing, and wait for the rain to stop? Especially when you're in a situation that makes you feel like the rain just never stops and the rainbow is unreachable. I think the best we can do is to dance in the rain and embrace the present moment even when it's not perfect.   The rainbow may come later. It's not impossible. But there are so much to do in your life right now than just waiting for the rainbow to come.   The goal is not to meet the rainbow. Perhaps someday it will be here. But right now it's not here yet. There's not much to do with the rainbow right now.   Why don't you try to be friends with the rain? The rain is here with you right now. It's true that the rain can be upsetting to you, or even painful.   Tha rain may seem like your biggest enemy, but it just wants to be your friend too. It wants to be part of your life journey. It wants to be some chapters in yo

World Mental Health Day

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I want to talk a bit about this issue as it is something that always matters to me. I know (and experienced it myself) how painful it can be when you're trapped in sadness, depression, anxiety, fear, or any unwanted feelings and emotions. And the worst part is when you want to get out of it but you just feel trapped and there's nothing you can do, like you have no power and control over it. We never know how those feelings can hit anyone for any reason, especially this year when everything is fragile and full of uncertainties. It can happen to anyone in any situation. If you're someone who's currently struggling with it, remember that you're not alone. Never give up on yourself, because you do matter, and I believe this is not for forever and one day you will beat this. It's ok not to be ok for now. Embrace those feelings, knowing we're all human beings with all the imperfections and weaknesses. If you'

There Will Always Be

There will always be people who dislike you, no matter how good and adorable you are. There will always be people who underestimates you and see you as someone annoying to them, no matter how kind and amazing you are. It is important to know that, so you remember the world you are living in is imperfect, crazy, unfair, and demanding. It is important to know that, so you remember that perfection does not exist and you don’t need to chase for it. You don’t need to frustrate yourself just because you will meet a lot of situations where you feel rejected, unloved, and left behind. At the same time, there will always be people who love you and accept you as who you are, no matter how difficult you are. There will always be people who see you as someone precious and someone who means so much to them, no matter how imperfect you are. It is important to know that, so you know that in this crazy world, your life is still world living. You are always loved, not by every

Deep Down...

Deep down we all know life is not easy. Deep down we know it's impossible for everything to go just the way we want it to. Deep down we know pain, hurt, and suffering are inevitable parts of life. Deep down we can see there is still downside of happy things we keep in our pockets. Deep down we realize that sooner or later, happiness we celebrate can change into sadness we grieve just in unexpected ways. But deep down we all also know life is not that hard. Deep down we know life brings good things too. Deep down we can still find many things to be thankful for. Deep down we know those bad stuffs that life throws at us can somehow bring strength, level up ourselves, and make good stories in the end. Deep down we know we can still find hope, joy, and happiness even in places where everything seems wrong.

Perfectly Imperfect Life

Not few times I heard people calling me "quoter". Just a little bit sharing, I've been writing quotes around the internet for more than 5 years, and if you really pay attention to my writing, mostly it all talks about the same thing to deliver the same message: accepting life with all your imperfections, weaknesses, and flaws but still living it in the right way. I believe that's the key of life to make it easier and happier, because before you can live it right, you have to accept it first. Nobody's life is perfect. I know yours is not perfect, neither is mine. But the best thing is, in the end, it all depends on the way you see and live it no matter what life throws at you. It's not determined by your situation but your attitude and perspective. Easier said than done, but that's the first step we need to keep in mind. The bad news is, your life will never be perfect. The good news, we don't need a perfect life to be happy.
