To be courageous
you must be brave and strong
To face fears
you must get rid of being hurt
To grow and learn
you must have acceptance and ownership
of one’s fault
To experience life to the fullest
you must never be afraid of
trying out new things
and to be loved
you must felt it first with yourself,
& you must express it more,
to learn to love
without anything in return.
And love never fails
to win in your heart.

You didn't love me
As much but I'm just grateful
You loved me at all
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with everything they have

First assignment done
Feeling relieved and weary
Also really sore
I'M FREE!!!
*** that assignment took forever but I finally got it done.
I'm so tired, but you know what that means!
I'm free tomorrow and on the weekend!
The next part of the Masked Bard will be out on the morrow.
Right now, my brain is mush...
Love you guys! Thank you for being so patient and supportive!
See ya tomorrow!

I'm so grateful I could die
And then I'd be the Grateful Dead
For every Touch of Grey
You erase
And paint intricate beauty I cannot equivocate
The enigma of your mind
Matches the confusion in my heart
What's the point of talking to someone
if you know what they're thinking?
I enjoy the intense haze
Of your rearranging maze
It's complexity fascinates me

Some of my favorite moments are when
I laugh hysterically as the tears fall down
And you're there
To hit my waterfall with your lightning
My emotions get so charged
As you pump electricity into my current
Making you the conductor
On this lifelong train ride
That's definitely been through some valleys and tunnels
But as we continue to scale this mountain
Negative thoughts can creep in
I wonder if you're disgusted by me
Or what you'd call me if you hated me
And as the tears fall down
I look to the heavens
And laugh hysterically
Thanking God I don't have to live in a world like that
I'm so ******* grateful

I remember...
I was sad because I could only afford four textbooks out of five
Until the best student dropped out of school due to lack of tuition

I was upset because I wasn't served dessert
Until I saw a starving man

I complained my car was manual transmission
Until I saw a guy wishing for a used bicycle

I always wished for a bigger bed
Until I saw a man sleeping on the street

I was demotivated because my job wasn't paying well
Until I saw unemployment rate in other countries

I was ****** with myself when I dislocated my ankle
Until I saw someone without legs

It's definitely good to admire better things but
Appreciate what you have
Because somebody wants just that!
We seldom forget to be grateful and happy with our current state because we are aiming for the next step. We ought to take time and appreciate our growth so far

You held my hand
When I needed it the most.
You held my hand
When no one tried to reach for it.

You.

You saved me
From everything
That I should not
Be feeling.

I just want you to know
That I am grateful
To love you
And feel the love back
From you.

The society
always have something to say
whether big or small

They will pick you up
Even if you never did wrong
They will do something

About how you speak,
how your actions define you
It always matter

To them, you’re nothing
But in God’s eyes, we belong
to love and be kind

To share one’s beauty
Be grateful for what’s in there
enough and content

Not wanting for more
Because it can only form
destruction, greed, pride

Human can’t value
how much important it is
to feel grateful for

things that can impact
your health, your environment
it can help improve


Nonetheless


Whatever sizes
body, heart, mind, perception
you are beautiful

I feel like i need to practice writing haiku
and i challenge myself to write haiku everyday.
Hopefully, I can do this!

Thanks God
you were adding
Joy and Sorrow
in our lives
time to time
otherwise humans
would have felt even
superior than you!

Starting with that very night
You and I began this little adventure
Holding each other's hand really tight
And ready to face the thrills together

Although without knowing what comes next
Every turn of these rides feels breathtaking
Like you just witness a double rainbow kind-of-effect,
So rare and at the same time fascinating
But surely every turn may not be all pleasing
These rides can be bumpy at times

But even after more than 500 days of these roller coaster rides,
And after all the ups and downs
We're still here, sitting and buckled up side by side
Willing to encounter whatever in many more rounds
Just a way of being thankful

We don't appreciate what we have
until we lose it
We don't see the glow on the skin
until we bruise it
We don't believe in miracles
until we need it

We don't appreciate farming
until there's famine
We don't appreciate water availability
until there's water scarcity
We don't appreciate wealth
until we see poverty
We don't appreciate good health
until we experience infirmity

We don't appreciate democracy
until we see tyranny
We don't appreciate loyalty
until we see jealousy
We don't appreciate liberty
until we see slavery!
