"Stop waiting for Friday

for summer

for someone to fall in love with you

for life.

Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it

and make the most of the moment you are in now."


Lately I've been waiting...

for good news

for things to change

for things to go back to where they used to be

to go back to where it should be

for the things that never came.


Then I realized, that instead

I should stop waiting...

because when you stop waiting

that's where you find solitude

that's where you find peace.


Have faith that the best is yet to come.

Whether or not you wait.

It will come.

Gratitude

I am feeling grateful for what I have accomplished so far

and that I have the people who show up in times of need.

The people who are becoming my number one cheerleaders.

Those who sit at the front row, who will be the loudest supporter no matter how bad I fail, and stand up the highest to clap whenever I succeeded.


Though I do still grumble sometimes

but every time I remind myself of these people, I hold my head high, and smile.

I have no single reason to feel any sorrow.


I have all I need.

I have enough.

I am enough.

Little Girl

I looked left when the elevator bell dings
and there you are
staring at me
I stared back

Then I waved
smiling under my mask
hoping you can see it from afar

You waved back
whilst smiling under your tiny mask
walking away on your little feet
your head still turned around every second as you walked
it was as if you wanted to get to know me
but your path is on the other side

Hey little girl
I do not know who you are
but your sweet gesture have made my day
and I would not let this memory slip away

So I guess, I will see you again, soon?

Chill Pill

You can not force someone to stay
You can not beg someone to leave
If they want to stay, they will
If they want to leave, they will.
 
But have that talk
and whatever the closure comes
appreciate yourself for being brave enough to bring it up
appreciate their openness for being honest
for their willingness to face it.

Then, take that chill pill.

Because when you care of someone
you will try to understand where they are coming from
and why they choose what they decide
and that no one can change a thing.
 
It is okay to wonder why the universe is somehow cruel
for letting two people who belong to each other know each other
but does not allow them to stay together
for whatever reason.
 
But I realize that this is just how the world works.

So please, take that f-ing chill pill.
