“Angels’ Presence”

Angels are always around us.

They watch over, protect, and guide us every moment.

But their presence is not to be seen. It’s to be felt.

Close your eyes, and light your heart with a glow of faith.

Feel them.

What can you “see”?

when life starts to fall apart, Don't just lose yourself. Stand up, pick up those pieces and put it back together. You and I, we aren't born to just give up. We've a future to build. A future, that we've always dreamt of.

“Listen to Your Heart”

There are times in life when we feel confused about what to do.

We fear making the wrong choice and worsening the situation.

When your mind is in chaos, listen to your heart.

If your brain can no longer handle the situation, you can still rely on your heart.

Heart and brain are like twins — similar yet different in nature.

But together, they form a pair of wings that can lift us through difficult times.

We only need to stop them from fighting and arguing over which is better or worse.

Let each showcase the wisdom they have accumulated so far.

“We All Have Our Own Path”

Some paths appear straight, while others seem curvy or zigzagged, and some are a blend of all these shapes.

Each path is unique, meant for only one person to tread, with its distinct characteristics recognizable only to that person.

No path is inherently superior or inferior to another.

A straight path isn’t necessarily favorable, nor is a complex one inherently unfavorable.

Every path, regardless of its appearance, presents its own beauties and challenges, offering us valuable moments for learning and reflection.

“The Bright Side of Failure”

Failure is frightening, I don’t deny it.

Like many, I too am afraid of failure.

Yet, in those moments of fear, I close my eyes and I can see the bright side awaiting me once I conquer this fear.

Failure is merely one part of the whole process. It can never become the ending unless we grant it such power.

All we need is a dose of courage to take one step at a time up the long staircase toward the other side of our fears.

As we draw closer, our fear will fade away little by little, and eventually, we’ll be able to see the illuminating light that awaits us there.

“One Plus One Is Not Two”

We were taught that 1+1=2, but in reality, the answer can transcend mere arithmetic.

If we’re willing to see it from a different angle, the symbols of “1+1” and “=” can be arranged into a window, revealing infinite perspectives and possibilities that exists beyond conventional equations.

The more we think we know about something, the more we actually don’t know anything about it.

"Solo Estoy Confundido"

One, two, or even three bad days are not the end of the world.

“Solo estoy confundido”, or “I’m just confused”, is a gentle reminder to embrace and cherish the moment of confusion.

It’s completely fine to feel frustrated, disconnected, puzzled, and dissatisfied with the way things are, especially when they don’t unfold as expected.

But, nothing remains static. Sooner or later, the haze will dissipate.

All we need to do is acknowledge the faint flicker of hope that persists within our minds, allowing it to guide us through uncertainty and towards brighter days.

"Longing for Freedom"

I can’t help but wonder why I have such an intense longing for freedom? What kind of freedom am I really seeking? These questions whirl through my mind like autumn leaves caught in a gust of wind.

Do I desire the freedom to express myself? to pursue my passions? or to make my own choices? or is it something deeper that I cannot put into words?

As I contemplate these questions, my love for adventure comes to mind. There’s something about the unknown, the thrill of exploring new places and trying new things that fills me with an indescribable sense of joy.

And yet, a voice in the back of my mind tells me that I am not good enough, that I am not ready and I never will. Despite my persistent efforts to improve myself, this voice refuses to be silenced entirely, which has frustrated me to the core and I cannot seem to make it stop.

I feel as though I am bound by an invisible chain that I cannot identify. What is it that holds me back from fully embracing the call of adventure? Is it fear? doubt? insecurity? or something else entirely that I have yet to fully understand?

Genuinely believing in yourself radiates self-confidence that naturally draws the trust of others toward you.
