Still Here.

Not quite there yet, but getting there.

Changing Stories

The journey feels long and never-ending.

May I remember that even when things feel the same, when each day just feels like the day before, or like an even bigger struggle… Even when I cannot sense that there is anything happening…

Change is always there.

And that is why it won’t always be like that.

Guides

There have been so many guides. So many opportunities to learn and grow.

Even Here

-Morgan Harper Nichols

Even here, I see light coming in the form of my supportive and loving family, my patient and caring friends, my meaning-filled and gratitude-filled work.

And I want to always believe that even in the darkness, we can make our own light.

Time

Okay.

Own Path

A reminder to not compare your beginning to others’ middle… Or vice versa.

We each have our own path, our own journey to make.

Imperfect, yet…

This quote resonates with me.

I realise that a significant part of the journey is embracing the imperfect nature of our attempts at perfection, and to take delight in everything that could go wrong, or has gone wrong, or is going wrong right now.

We are imperfect, yet perfectly so.

Softness

I would like to remember this. Not all adversity has to be fought through.

Adversity can be met with Patience. Kindness. Acceptance. Love.

Softness.

Ask. Give.

I must admit it does not come naturally to ask for help.

There were times when I felt (and still feel) like I’m a burden. Like who am I to take up so much of others’ time or to request to company of someone who must have better things to do?

But I hope I will one day completely realise and believe that this is how our world must go on – to be able to ask for help when we need it and to be able to give when we can.

I am thankful for all the help I have been able to afford and receive, as well as the help I have been able to give, whether consciously or otherwise.
