Time passes; You grow older and the people in your life do too. But we don’t realize it until their behaviour changes. It may start with the oldest generation you are in contact with; your grandparents for instance. Then you notice your own parents are getting older and changing in many ways. All of a sudden you look around and it seems that everybody had gotten older; even yourself. But where were you Continue reading

Divided Attention
We all have things in our lives that we focus on more than others. And naturally so. You could be after accomplishing a goal or after the person of your dreams or after obtaining the best the world has to offer. And while it’s totally fine that you pursue your dreams and go after your goals, don’t loose sight of what’s truly important in your life; what you do have. Don’t allow your attention to get so divided that you can’t seem to appreciate the little things, the present moment and the current people in your life, for the bigger things, the future and the people you wish to have in your life.
What’s left
I sit here on my bed surrounded by papers, cards, envelopes and letters. Organizing my mess, looking through years of accumulated memories. My life as far as I can remember. From the late stage of my childhood into my adulthood and through several stages of my life. What’s left of that life I lived so far? Continue reading
Travelling Spoils and Humbles
I admit that my experience of travelling has spoiled me dramatically. Yet, among the things I have seen and moments I lived, it humbled me more than I could ever imagine. Truly, it’s amazing that one thing can have two opposite effects at the same time. Travelling for me; it enriched me with many valuable lessons. In the end, I conclude that it spoiled me a lot yet humbled me to the highest degree. Continue reading
Types of people
I have read a few articles on the different kinds of people in the world. Some were written from the angle of psychology while some relating to zodiac signs. Some articles discuss types of people based on social status and business related comparisons. Some say there are 9 types of people while some say there are 5 and others say there are 3. Numbers are being thrown around as a title to their articles to prove their thesis or point of view based on their expertise. But here I am, without any Continue reading
Gedo
How do I start to express how I feel right now. I’m speechless. How do I explain the pain I feel in my heart. There are no words really. This pain is like your organs are being twisted inside your body to the point you can’t breath. Even when you cry, you do it from deep inside. Tears fall down uncontrollably. You don’t know how to stop it. You don’t wanna stop it. It doesn’t really make you feel better. But you can’t help it. You just have to release whatever you feel. Holding it in would be the worst thing you can do. Continue reading
The wait is over
So you plan for something and it seems like there is lots of time until the moment you have waited for. There is anticipation, anxiety and some expectation. But nothing happens the way you imagine it. Events unfold in ways you never thought it could. You wait and you wait and sometimes you think there is still lots of time to do this and say that. Little did you know, time is passing while you are not paying attention. It’s actually faster than you thought. The moment comes and the moment goes. You only realize it after it had passed. And the wait is finally over. Continue reading
AFRAID
Sometimes what you need is not what you want. And what you want is not what you need. To solve this puzzle is to search within yourself to understand who you truly are. Same statement, same words, different meaning. What you understand out of this statement may very well be a whole different thing from what another understands. Why is that? Continue reading
Ways to Learn
It’s no secret that every individual has their own method to learn and retain information. Learning is an ongoing fact of life. Learning never stops. We are constantly seeking knowledge. We are endlessly asking questions. We are eagerly trying to feel safe in our environment and that can only come from the confidence of knowing. Continue reading
Desires
Is it wrong to desire? Desiring can be for many things including but not limited to: food, sex, finest materials (clothes, shoes, cars, houses … Etc). Is there a fine line we reach when our desires turn into obsessions? Is there a good desire and a bad desire? Who decides?? Let’s think. Continue reading
It is all about the method
“It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.” A very well-known statement we heard time and time again. And as we go through life, the meaning of those words become more apparent. It may sound as a cliché. But the context is ever true. And as life takes us on many excursions, we get to apply what we know. It is about the method in the end. Continue reading
I Know I AM
Just because I have shown my strength doesn’t mean I can’t have moments of weakness. Just because I am showing resilience doesn’t mean I can’t fall apart sometimes. Who said you can’t have both at the same time. Who said there was a wrong or right for being weak or losing your balance for a while. It’s totally fine. Continue reading
If you knew today was your last day
We have seen movies with those stories, we have heard songs with those lyrics, we have heard people repeating those words whether serious or joking. Truly, what a thought it is. If we were to be serious for a minute, think about it … what would you do if today was your last day ever. Continue reading
Where is your focus?
I ask where is your focus. Do you even know? At times you think you are so sure of where you are heading. You think you got your priorities in order. You know what needs to be done and follow some sort of a plan. Then a series of events take place and you are thrown of course for a while. you get distracted and suddenly you find yourself all lost and confused. Where were you going again? And why? And how? All kinds of questions arise and you realize that you were never really focused. You were all over the place from the start. And the circumstances simply woke you up and helped you see the reality that you were blinded to. Continue reading
Not Ready to Listen
What can you really do when the person you are talking to is not ready to listen. How frustrating this can be. You explain and you simplify and you express yourself in different ways and you pour your heart out, with no result. It’s like you are talking to a wall. Hell, by now the wall would have talked after all this effort. So why is this happening? Continue reading
