Read this on instagram and thought this should be a daily slogan to start the day with.. and it goes like this,

"Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about!"

[sriemotes]

"Unsaid and unexpressed thoughts can haunt us in one or the other way."

Desire over Consequence?...

"Sometimes you know the consequences but make the same choice anyway. Because you want to!"

- This particular quote is from a Kdrama called "Lovely Runner" and I couldn't move on from this beautifully plotted storyline which I hold dear.

Truly giving in to what we really want feels like a deep, personal connection with destiny. It's when our true desires break through the usual worries and fears. Even if it’s painful or challenging, some decisions are so powerful that neither time nor distance can change them. We all have pushed our limits for what we desire, whether it be the love of our lives or something else entirely. There are things we believe are worth almost every cell of our being. If we hold that belief strongly, even the universe tends to align with us. So, never stop being expressive with love and kindness. And as you do so, remember to give yourself an extra measure of the same love and kindness you extend to others.

Happiness is a choice, a gift we give ourselves. Embrace contentment with what you have, for in the end, it's you who holds the power. Wrap yourself in a warm hug, and rise again to greet the new day. You never know the light your presence brings to those around you.

"The waves! What do they do?They'll elapse as time goes by; and so do the hurdles we go through. They'll elapse eventually."

“I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. Basically it is nothing other than this fear we have so often talked about, but fear spread to everything, fear of the greatest as of the smallest, fear, paralyzing fear of pronouncing a word, although this fear may not only be fear but also a longing for something greater than all that is fearful.”

- from Letters to Milena by Franz Kafka

“I want all of us to be happy. As bright and cheery as a sunny day. Without so much as a crease in our hearts.”

- Mi Jeong from "My Liberation Notes".

This particular series is something I hold dear. Such an underrated gem of a story that is certainly very relatable. The casting, storyline, screenplay, cinematography, setting, visuals etcetera, were perfectly plotted. I can never stop recommending this particular work of art, to be honest!

At the very end of the final episode, the characters leave their impact on us in such a good way. The script might seem simple for some but it has a very deep connection to each human's life. It beautifully carries away the realistic struggles that everyone goes through daily; the silenced or the unspoken part of our lives which we barely open up about and how it causes a barely manageable pain.

So, to be precise, this particular work of art is deeply emotional, has a slow-paced plot and it is introspective. If you haven't watched something good in a while and enjoy some slow-paced and aesthetically stunning work of art, then "My Liberation Notes" is for you.

One must strain off what was personal and accidental in all these impressions and so reach the pure fluid, the essential oil of truth.

A Glimpse Of Yesterday.

And she sat in the void,

Rekindling her past which is certainly affecting her present.

Yet the past that haunts her isn't something horrific;

It's the most beautiful thing she has ever known or experienced,

which she'd never dare to forget;

though the wound that the 'past' has left behind is inevitable and undeniably horrendous.

She'll be fine, they said.

Do they mean it?
