Good Day, Mavens!
Geez... where do i even start? it's been 2 years i have not graced my fingers to my own born baby. I have not been able to keep up, but i guess, that is life. As i have always mentioned, i want this medium to be a safe haven for my personal being, and to you, my readers, and not something that urges me to always push, but to know also when to pull. The title says it all, again, it's been 2 years oh my God! I even almost forgot my own login credentials, so weird. But anyway, i have been away for a few years because literally, life has been a constant juggle; i picked my battles -- and sometimes, maturing requires a massive decision making that is... scary. And therefore, my absence all these years were because my much needed presence in somewhat, breakable bubbles that just cannot wait.
I'm an island boy now as i live in Bali (for sometime), and in the middle of my super hectic schedule, Madeon's newest single in my ear, and some cancelled plans, my need to pour arises -- what's better than doing it by none other, my love in writing?. Can you imagine how many new things and new lessons i have experienced and learned for the past couple of years? TONS -- and that is my friend, are valuables you won't trade with anything. Sharing is caring, always! I experience, so you know what to dos. My urge to share is immense and hence, in this given time, i would like to share at least, 5 of my new values in life depend on the fortunate or unfortunate events that have happened in the course of my absence.
1. Don't Say "This is Me, I Will Never Change"; That's a Jynx!
Ok, how many of you here have experienced this? or maybe you have not? -- I used to be an idealist but as i get older, i get more open minded to things that benefit me as a human being and i don't know, in my circle of friends? my community? -- inventing or innovating yourself in different ways are somehow fun and it caters to your desire. As long as it benefits you and your surroundings and does not give wrong-doings to people, honey, you do you boo!
2. Some Friends Will Fall, But You, Keep The Fly!
I have learned that some friends will leave you, even the good ones, for the decisions you have taken. You are not alone, i experience this too. Maturing is like a natural elimination of circle. If they meant to be in your life, they will be there, if not, dont stress it out. You live your whole life depend on you and those who actually cherish you. Life is a hurdle already, realizing this will cut a lot of them. Call your friends who support you, who are always there whenever you need them, and ask them for a good brunch. Maybe some cute little gifts? Celebrate them! They deserve it. As for those who have sadly parted ways, send them some love and light still.
3. It's. Only. A. Job.
Ok here is the thing. My mantra is always its better to be completely tired but you produce money, rather than completely exhausted of having none. This is still a learning in progress but i guess you guys, it's literally only a job. People lose lives, or even lose themselves for the sake of jobs. A good friend of mine has always reminded me that whatever is for you, will be yours; including money. Hustle but never sacrifice what is irreplaceable, the broken glasses like your health, your family, good memories, etc. I have revised my mantra now, its more like i always try to do my best, but if it is not enough, maybe it's not for me. Knowing how to excel is amazing, but knowing when to quit is amazing to the power of 10!
4. Be With People Who Share The Same Passion and Drive, is Magical for Your Being!
One thing ive learned the most and treasures to the core is this one. Be in the community that have the same visions or share the same interests is somewhat therapeutical. You receive the drive and the urge as an equal. It does not matter if it produces money or not, but you have one bubble that you are in that purely, because you are into it. If it does create money, then good, but if it does not, honey, you are happy -- what is it more in store?
5. Love is Not Only in Relationship; You've Found Them in Many Forms!
Giving is love, Volunteering is Love, Kind to people is love. I feel like people focus much on finding the perfect relationship yet they forget that love is greater than that.
Support your family, be present in your friends' product launch, offer or use your abilities to the people in need - trust me, your heart will be full. And when you are, you my friend, will attract wonders.
I'm writing this with goosebumps. It feels like the first post i have ever posted. I dont regret my decisions ive made in life, and to have this medium, is something i very cherish. A lot of times i think what does it feel like to write again, and it is nothing but a complete serendipity. To moreeee posts soon!
life is not elusive, you just need to know the how tos x
