NOT YET RATED ▼
There’s a thin line between letting something fuck you up and letting it free you up. You can let something fuck you up or you can let it free you up but you can’t do both. If you’re letting something fuck you up right now, you’re not letting it free you up and if you’re letting it free you up right now, you’re not letting it fuck you up. So which is it?

The problem is that kind of thinking means you’re going to punish yourself forever. You think you don’t deserve happiness or love or acceptance, so you make decisions to reinforce those beliefs. You stay in unsatisfying relationships because you don’t feel you deserve better. You don’t ask for what you want because you don’t think you have the right to ask for anything. You just stay unhappy and self-pitying, and then you punish yourself some more, and again, and again, and again. So until we teach you to value yourself, we can’t teach you how to make sure other people value you.

Our well-being is not dependent on anyone else’s behaviour. This does not mean that we don’t desire or prefer certain things from others. It means that our happiness is not tied to whether or not those wishes are met. We can invite, but we do not demand.

Namun, tantangan dalam hidup bukanlah terletak pada panjang-pendeknya, tetapi pada kualitasnya, pada seberapa banyak kejutan heboh yang ditimbulkan.

Topic: Happiness
NOT YET RATED ▼
Sometimes you’re just so happy you want to dissolve into a mist and blow away with the breeze. Your feet walk rhythmically down the sidewalk as the sun sets golden and a freight train blows in the distance over the faint sound of a siren and the trees wave with the wind nice and green. Sometimes you’re so calm you just disappear and everything happens.

Thoughts of him cloud her mind
The anxiety floods in knowing she will soon see him
Her hands and legs tremble upon meeting him
She is so nervous
Just so nervous for him
She's not sure how to convey her feelings
Afraid of rejection
The uncertainty
The eagerness
She is falling

We can slow down our own experience and savour what life has to offer if we just sit in the now a little more often. In the present, our minds are clearer and not crammed tight with past and future anxieties.

Everything Sad Is Untrue
Topic: Happiness

Peace isn’t passive—it’s power.
It’s the calm that walks into chaos and doesn’t flinch.
It’s knowing God’s got it, even when you don’t see it.

Happiness isn’t hype—it’s holy.
It’s the smile that survives the storm.
It’s laughter that doesn’t need a reason, just a revelation.

Joy isn’t a mood—it’s a mantle.
It’s Heaven’s echo in your spirit.
It’s dancing when the battle isn’t over, because you already know the outcome.

Peace is my posture. Joy is my soundtrack. Happiness is my glow.
I don’t chase vibes—I carry victory. God didn’t just give me peace—He made me a peacemaker.

Let’s make it unforgettable.

Let’s GO!

Emily learned, as everyone does, that happiness is often colored by worry or set-aside grief, even in the moment of happiness. It is rarely pure. But what Emily felt that summer, until the end of it, came close. It was the kind of happiness whose only worry is the loss of that happiness.
