Being present - something I've been struggling with lately. I first started hearing it since I first stepped on Hawaii in Sep, and then I just keep hearing people tell me about it.
Sometimes I lose myself in the present, sometimes I lose myself in the past.
They bring about a whole gamut of emotions in me I never thought I was capable of feeling, from anger to sadness, contentment to dread.
Then I have to remind myself that I'm alive and kicking, fit and healthy. Following my intuition has led me to where I am right now and I am right where I need to be. I am able to experience everything this side of the Earth is offering me. I shouldn't be dwelling in a place that I am no longer in, and I am a lucky one.
So today, I hope your heart and mind open to wherever you are. Stop wishing you are someplace else, doing something else, with somebody else. You are where you choose to be and so you should be proud of yourself for what you've created, wherever you are and whatever your head space may be in. 🌟

[REAL TALK]
I might have had the worst possible day yesterday. I felt used, treated unfairly, ignored, unappreciated, gross and unproductive. So I decided to go out for a run - and it always helps to clear my head. From that run, I've decided to do a daily gratitude post to remind myself why I should be more grateful everyday.
I wrote in my journal to dump my thoughts, ideas and to-do items. I made time for a much-needed deep stretch for my body. I had someone who made time to listen to me as I poured out what was bothering me, as insignificant as it sounded.
That evening, I saw the sweetest sunset in the softest colours, and the pink sky reflecting on the ocean.
There are so many things to feel appreciative of, but mostly, I'm thankful that my emotions kick me in the gut sometimes, because that's what it means to feel alive. And I hope that sometime today, you'll do something that makes you feel alive too. :]

Anyone else thinks cats are sexy? 🐱
P.S. can you guess what animal is in the second picture?

Finally editing ALL my pictures from my month-long trip in South Africa and publishing blog posts about them but OMG there are too many animal photos that it's going to be such a work! Are you ready to be spammed with them?!

You can't really change people, but you can decide how you want to react to them. You can decide who you want to surround yourself with, for they are a reflection of you.
Instead of lamenting what they should have, could have, would have done, be the best version of yourself. Celebrate yourself. Let your actions inspire others.
If not, don't be afraid to walk away. Better things await.

i won't lie. this is probably the most difficult love i have to share. there is no beginning, and no end in sight. i've been warned by every single person who knows what we went through. i've broke, i've ached, i've hated, i've regretted. even though i shouldn't, i pursued anyway, knowing i'd live in regret if i didn't.
there are a million times when i know i should walk away, but it's in the quiet moments - the car drives, waiting on the sunrises, chasing the waves, the movie nights, the pockets of time before we surrender to sleep - that everything feels right.
as @morganharpernichols pernichols puts it, "there is struggle on the journey, and there is joy, too. you will find where the light pours in... you will find the hope to make it through."
so maybe, let me dream a lil, indulge a lil.

I believe I could fly, and so I did.
