A gentle reminder: sometimes we forget the things we once hoped for and now have—let’s take a moment to be thankful.

I have come to realize that I can't figure out my life at once. I can't understand the hows and whys of life. There are going to be times when the heaviness of all these responsibilities, my job, my family, my friends, my 'what's next' is going to ruin me. Life is already so difficult and I can't always exhaust myself thinking about what's in the future when I can't even live today. There's no golden day or hour that will suddenly arrive and wash away all my fears. It's going to take time, there are no shortcuts when it comes to living.

So, I have decided to live for the little things. I have decided to live for the tiny goals, the small dreams that I carry. I can live for my Mother's letters, and the books that I order online. I can live for Sundays when I make pancakes for myself and even if they aren't as fluffy, it's okay; I can try again next time and sometimes, it is almost perfect. I have decided to live for the coffee break with my colleagues and picnics on cloudy days when I paint. Sometimes, I live for the stray cat that I feed and the librarian who often gives me the best movie recommendations. I sit alone in the cafe and look at people walking by, hurrying for the bus or laughing together while eating from hawkers, or just carrying their kids and listening to them talk, and all that chaos puts me to ease. I find silence and happiness in the very existence of others and myself.

When I live for these tiny things, I realize that I can live for the greater things, too. I try my best in what I can do now, and that's how I can be my most earnest, honest self. It's good to envision a bigger picture but it's necessary to live every single day, skipping no parts, so that you can live for the present, and not a future that is uncertain and far away. Life is pretty easier when you don't always jump from one point to the other: 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

God wants you to have a hope and a future. It’s not your job to fix a broken man, your job is to go back to your First Love = Jesus.♡
