A Life That Blooms

Journal entry #6 : 
Today’s reflection reminds me of the beauty in simplicity—the power of building a life that feels good, even if it doesn’t look extraordinary to others. I’m realizing that true fulfillment doesn’t come from flashy highlights or curated perfection like the Pinterest board, but from moments that genuinely make me smile, no matter how small it is.  

It’s easy to get caught up in societal expectations, chasing what we’re told of perfect life as we “should” want or do. But when I pause to ask myself what truly makes me feel lighter, I find it’s often the choices that honor my happiness and peace over external validation. 

Letting go of those “shoulds” and making space for joy isn’t always easy, but it’s essential. It literally give me peace regardless how odds the view is.

I’ve also started to think about the people I keep close. There’s so much value in surrounding myself with those who inspire me, who respect me, and who encourage me to grow—even if it means saying goodbye to relationships that no longer feel right. It’s not easy to start over, but sometimes, the best blooms come after clearing the weeds.  

Positivity and hope feel more powerful to me now than ever. Even in a world that can feel overwhelming or harsh, choosing to look for the good is a form of strength. Focusing on what’s working in my life—rather than obsessing over what isn’t—helps me shift my mindset. Instead of worrying about what’s next, I’m learning to trust that everything is unfolding just as it should. Don't get me wrong I know for sure that I need control but learning to embracing the unpredictability is a way of its life. 

Building a life that blooms is like tending to a garden. It takes care, patience, and attention. I’m learning to curate my thoughts, choosing to nurture those that uplift and empower me. I’m planting seeds of self-trust, self-love, and gratitude, knowing that I am the architect of my happiness.  

I choose to let go of how I think life “should” look and instead honor what feels right for me. I choose to explore who I am, what matters to me, and what I need to thrive. This journey is mine, and no one else can live it for me.  

To the future me: remember this truth. You are enough and more than capable of creating a life that brings you joy and peace. Trust yourself, love yourself, and let your life bloom in its own beautiful way.  

With hope and dream,

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
