Precious Well Being

ADVICE FROM OLD PEOPLE

1 The most important person in your life is the person who agreed to share their life with you. Treat them as such.

2 You might live a long life, or you might live a short one — who knows. But either way, trust me when I say that you’re going to wish you took better care of yourself in your youth.

3 Stuff is just stuff. Don’t hold onto material objects, hold onto time and experiences instead.

4 Jealousy destroys relationships. Trust your significant other, because who else are you supposed to trust?

5 People always say, “Make sure you get a job doing what you love!” But that isn’t the best advice. The right job is the job you love some days, can tolerate most days, and still pays the bills. Almost nobody has a job they love every day.

6 If you’re getting overwhelmed by life, just return to the immediate present moment and savour all that is beautiful and comforting. Take a deep breath, relax.

7 Years go by in the blink of an eye. Don’t marry young. Live your life. Go places. Do things. If you have the means or not. Pack a bag and go wherever you can afford to go. While you have no dependents, don’t buy stuff. Any stuff. See the world. Look through travel magazines and pick a spot. GO!

8 Don’t take life so seriously. Even if things seem dark and hopeless, try to laugh at how ridiculous life is.

9 A true friend will come running if you call them at 2am. Everyone else is just an acquaintance.

10 Children grow up way too fast. Make the most of the time you have with them.

11 Nobody ever dies wishing they had worked more. Work hard, but don’t prioritize work over family, friends, or even yourself.

12 Eat and exercise like you’re a diabetic heart patient with a stroke — so you never actually become one

Bakit Sya?

"Bakit siya?" "Kasi alam niya yung ingay kung bakit ako tahimik". Matagpuan mo rin sana ang taong handa kang makabisa sa sandaling hindi ka naiintindihan ng iba. Alam kung paano ka mapakalma at sanay kang pasanin kapag hindi mo na kaya.  Dahil madaling makakita ng taong kaya kang sabihan nang paulit-ulit ng 'mahal kita' Ngunit ang makatagpo ng taong kabisado at uunawa sa iyo talaga— mahirap nang makakilala.

Stay

I hope you find the courage to step away from the things that aren't good for you.  I hope you find the strength to let go of the person who feels like "the one" but doesn't work out for you, all along. I hope you find the will to throw away all your what-ifs from the open doors that could lead you to a wrong path. I hope you find peace in accepting that "just because it's beautiful, doesn't mean it's meant for you."  And in the end, I hope you still believe that your heart, your feet, and your dreams will eventually find a place where they truly belong.

My Inner Self 🩷

The truth is that people believe they know you, that you're okay or that you're in a position where you're proud of yourself and optimistic about how things are going for you.  They believe you're fine because they interpret things based on their perception and connect certain facts they believe they are comfortable with to paint a picture of you based on their vision, unaware that this is all an illusion. Because you are aware of how exhausted you are from having so many thoughts racing through your head, you are weary of showing empathy, you are tired of being the one who understands, and you are tired of the weight you are carrying inside your chest so you only divert on particular things in order to survive.  And if you make just one error, all the good things you accomplished in the past is lost forever.  Let people misunderstood you Allow people to perceive you negatively and incorrectly.  You're living this life to be authentic and not to develop into a perso...
