Me Time - Little Notes

I am a great believer of the saying that getting lost allows you to (re)discover yourself. Sometimes I understand myself better when I get lost. To be alone, a quality time for myself. Wondering about my life, imagining of the things that could have happened, or could not have happened. Recalling the events that have built my life up onto this moment and made me meet the people I've shared my life with, and the (expected) events that did not really make it.

So many things have come up I think it would be very important to take note of them. As a reminder. One day, I might have a look at these notes once again, simply to prevent them from being forgotten. 

Being young is not only about leaving a mark in the world. It is also about letting the world leaves a mark within us. May it be through an event, or even more, through a person. So go.

When God takes away something you (thought you) have, usually you are going to get something better. However, be grateful of what you have at the moment. Keep it. Protect it. Or you might end up losing something that matters the most in your life. (And try not to regret when that happens, especially when you have failed in protecting it. Let it wander to a better place, a place that would keep it safe.)

Never fall in love in your sleep. What usually comes as a dream might suddenly show up as a nightmare. Since then, your sleeps and naps would never be the same anymore. Be in love while you are awake. Be in love knowing the risks you take, the 'dangers' you will face. Be in love with a person, not the idea of him/her that you have projected yourself. Be in love with a person, not the idea of him/her that he/she tries to project for you to believe in.

(Always) believe that there is probably a person out there who deserves to get the best of you. (You might meet him/her soon). 

The only person in the world who could make you happy is yourself. Before others. (I usually compliment myself with ice creams too, though. Ice creams make me really happy.)

Most of the time, feeling exhausted also means that you have not make your life wasted for nothing. Keep going.

Some people are plastic. You know. And will forever be plastic. Nothing more.

One day, our best friend's life might be hanging on a thread.. On that moment, we just have to be with and for them, however difficult it might be or seem.

Some people are just going to step in and try to ruin everything, but we just have to keep on going. For everyone else is going to come and go, but the bests are going to definitely stay for as long as they could.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Real living is living for others.

Last, but not least,

Be happy. Because you only need yourself to be happy, and because you can. Allow yourself to be happy. With or without someone else. Isn't it such a great feeling to realise that we can be happy on our own? As soon as we have allowed ourselves to be happy on our own, then we can be happy with another person.

Don’t forget to press play, well if your life is now paused.
Enjoy your August.
