“After All This Time?”

Always.💟

Remember, you can still enjoy life while chasing your dreams.

Do not fret. There’s no need to hurry, for everything will fall into its place in the perfect time.

Envy can kill.

This.

I was a gifted child. Until I wasn't. I was the golden girl. Until I couldn't burn anymore.

My parents expected me to build wings of gold and fly further than anyone could ever try. I don't blame them, having a child to raise is like sculpting a clay pot, you can shape it the way you like, paint it the colour you fancy. To raise a child is to play God. To raise a child is to be God.

But to be a child is to fall, to make mistakes, to fail. The thing about being too bright at an early age means you burn out by the time you're 16 and suddenly the world around you becomes more gray and terribly, terribly lonely. The fire is never warm enough, nothing is ever enough. And one day you find yourself begging to a godless sky, begging for a new spark.

I was a gifted child once. I was the golden girl. And one day, I burned out.

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

— William Penn

Every victory entails a great amount of sacrifice. Before you even taste the sweetness of triumph, you need to taste first the bitterness of the process. And, that’s how you become Christ-like.

“...you must always be yourself, and do things at your own pace. Someday, you'll catch up.”

— Natsuki Takaya

Life is not a race, so you better do everything slowly but surely. Remember, you are not in competition of anyone but yourself.

Sleepless Nights🌛

Why does sleep seem elusive to me?

As I shut my eyes

and lull myself

in the deafening silence of the night,

lingering thoughts started flooding my head

And, they keep me wide awake

with the moon as my companion

Two of my most favourite things in this world —-

sunset and YOU.
