Breath it Out

We are not what we had in mind, but we can always be what we wish to become. Everyday counts even as a short memory.

On this date last year, I was publishing my first poetry; thought; my vision to vocal. This year I am closer to be a published author.

What started as a hobby has become my voice. I express my feelings better than I ever expected or dreamed of; I speak clearer and people understand what I mean. I wasn't always expressive. I have talked in schemes, ambiguous.

I had my ideas, but I never dared to express them. I struggled to be understood, seen, and heard. Sometimes, when I find the courage to stand and voice out my thoughts, they are encrypted that even I can't understand. I have lost opportunity because of it, and I almost lost myself to it.

Last year was a new beginning.

This year is the continuing of the chapters of my life.


I have recently realized that we do not live once but everyday.

I know the saying; I know it's usage; and I know you are not ignorant. I don't mean to offend you or change your beliefs... you do live not once but multiple times.

Getting to the point

When life gives you a hard time, be strong

When life feels easy, enjoy

When starting again, release

You are strong enough to overcome the hit

You are happier than you think to go against the odds

You are worthy to succeed

When life is hard, don't give up. Be strong. Be happy. Try again.
