Life Is Still Beautiful
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. There was nobody preventing her from leaving. Although she felt like she could not leave. All her belongings were there with her, and she would rearrange them often to distract her from her anxiety. Social media consumed her life. It was a window into other people’s happy lives. Everything she saw and read on social media platforms seemed so real. Everyone seems so happy on the surface, and she consumed endless hours of content even though she knew how deceiving those posts could be.

In God's Timing, Everything Is Absolute!
So what if I am a “single mom?” Is there a problem with that? It really doesn’t mean I don’t know how to love, and don’t deserve to be loved. That is so wrong. First of all, if people don’t exactly know why I became one, they shouldn't just assume anything like they know why and how. I don’t seek any validation from anyone. And I don’t want to explain myself just to get accepted. I don’t expect that everyone would like me or understand me, just know Respect. All those negative words throwing at me, it doesn’t really bother me at all. I want to keep myself real and love those who love me for who I am. I am focusing more on my inner peace and repenting my sins from the past by making myself a better person everyday. So if you are that person who knows nothing but to try to hurt someone like me ,even through harsh words, I can only walk away and I will keep moving forward.

What Are You Fighting For?
Is it life? Or is it the “freedom” for it? Both? The concept of the endless war and violence isn’t enough to end the never ending longing for the “freedom” we seek for? Freedom of what really? Freedom of being a human? Or freedom from the suffocating system that creates restrictions to all the access one could achieve? What made those “powerful” beings think of those who fought for it? They watch everyone else collapse while raising their beings into the level of struggling in the society that has been categorized to the level of poor, average, and rich. Wealth and power have become the big factors of everything to have the choice of what we call having “options.” Everyone dreams for a better life. What is a “better” life? How about those who are spurned by society? They have been facing Endless struggles and hardships to survive and live to fit in this world. How about the innocent ones? What are they fighting for? The way I see everything in this world is like war everyday. Is there a competition going on? The victims of all of these, Who or what are they dying for?

The Process in Changing
How I Cope UP S.P.D. (Schizoid Personality Disorder) is quite challenging. Knowing and checking your own mental health, I should say, is very important as much as one’s emotional, physical, and spiritual. I tend to know what causes me to feel uncertain in things that make me feel uneasy or anxious in my life towards my goals both short and long term goals. What is Schizoid Personality Disorder? It is considered one of the mental illnesses and it is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency toward a solitary or sheltered lifestyle, secretiveness, emotional coldness, detachment and apathy.

Understanding The Own Perspective in Life
Having a “life” is not just having a purpose on how to live with it. Most of us are seeking for a purpose/purposes of how to live their lives. I used to think the same way to be honest, but I got to the point of my life that I realized that every person's life is very different from one another. Maybe some have similarities but are different in a way that everyone has their own time of how a person blooms and grows its own self. Some are lucky to have it all at an early age, while some are still struggling to achieve whatever they desire to have in life that they think they need or want.

The Special Thing About One's Mind
I always think about time machines that could bring me to the past and future. Oftentimes, I think about space machines that could take me somewhere else away from this world. Sometimes, I think about inventing a machine that could make my wrong decisions to right one or to correct my mistakes and show me the path I should take so I could guarantee the ending that I want. All of these, I know I couldn't make them happen. I am not capable enough to build one of these. I wish I knew more about technologies or machineries, but unfortunately don’t which is totally okay. I can only imagine in my mind and I realized, I can do this all in my mind. And it gives me the good feeling that inside my head, I could do anything I want without doing any harm to anyone. It is like building things like these inside my head without having actual things that I need to build one in reality. In reality, I have a lot of ignorance about all sorts of things.

My Fresh Start in the "City of Angels"
This place (Los Angeles, Ca) has been a part of my life that has most of my beautiful and painful memories in my life that made me change a lot for more than two years of my life. I have become someone who is more mature and wise and not to mention about me being patience and more understanding. Sometimes, I think about "What if's" but rather not know the possible answers for I don't want to give myself a hard time. Coming back here is one of the toughest decisions that I had to make because I know most of the places here in L.A. have the memories I had with the most important person in my life who was once not just my lover, but also as my partner, and my best friend. Driving to the places where I used to go with this person makes me ask myself if I really moved on. And the answer is YES. I moved on. This person is no longer part of the life I am living in right now and I am living my life with trials and errors. I met new people who I am becoming friends with and I discovered more interesting places to check out. I have nothing to say but I am so proud of myself for being one of the strong women of my generation. I am someone who is living in "my American dream" and who is someone who has a lot of responsibilities to my family. Some people say, being kind and soft-hearted is a weakness. I agree because I have experienced how people take advantage of that goodness. But despite hating, I rather still smile and be able to live my life without any regrets or guilt. True that I am still in the midst of finding an opportunity for myself or say, a career that I am hoping to achieve in life. It is difficult for sure. Not having a lot of people who know me. It is a very competitive place especially for someone like me. Hardship doesn't bother me that much but the negative people who constantly throw their garbage at me and yet I try to understand as much as I can. I just hope people learn how to understand each other more, rather than pushing each other on the edge of something just to see who is better and who is not. I don't normally say anything about God, but I do believe in God 100%. Unfortunately, I may not be physically healthy ever since, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, I am very healthy and that is why I am still standing wherever I am. I would like to share my thoughts about how to live life even though the whole world is not exactly cooperating on how you can achieve your success in time. It did take me a while to understand it myself, but hopefully what I am going to share would make sense to anyone who is still reading this. Life doesn't have a PLAN A or PLAN B. There shouldn't be a plan after all in my opinion because in my experience, I don't know what the future holds for me. Every second matter, it can change every path of everyone's life. So for me, what really matters is that you are ready on how to face the possible possibilities that you would face in different circumstances of your life. Expecting sometimes can lead to disappointments. Sounds familiar right? So why not expect the unexpected? Life is sure challenging. You meet people maybe few or a lot, but it doesn't matter. What matters is, you choose who to look up to to inspire yourself how to become better as a person and take the bad ones as an example of not to have in your life to avoid negative energy that will affect your positive thoughts. Life is love itself. We just don't find love from friends, family, or to anyone else. We find love in ourselves if you know how to appreciate every single and simple thing that you have in your life. You may not have a lot of things like what others have, but you have something in common... and that is LIFE. That makes everyone equal. So it doesn't matter what your nationality, color, age, sex, or religion is because everyone has a heart and mind that make us have a LIFE. Life is life. We all live, and we all die. And the "AFTERLIFE" story is for us to discover when we finally reach that final stage of our lives. But our final stage is not the ending, it's just a new beginning. So if you think you are having an unfortunate life right now, let me remind you again that you have all the chances in this world to get up and stand up again because you haven't reached your final stage of your life to quit. I am so thankful for all the people who gave me love. These people I care about are the people who inspire me in my journey of life. As long as I don't give up, I believe I can also make it. And I hope you too.
