come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Do you realize you need to ask questions when you read?
Not only understand what the writer is saying,
but the implication of what they are saying —
what assumptions are they making,
what counter evidence would weaken or strengthen their claim,
or what is the hidden purpose?
Well, it’s not too late to join the club.
Welcome to the book club, my friend!

Get up again.
Shake it out.
Tighten your shoe lace.
Check your back.
Let’s go at it again.

It’s been a long run,
and I am proud of you for having made it so far.
And regardless of what you have done,
I see you. I value you. I accept you.
We evolved so much, and we will continue to do so.
This is the beginning of the highlight.
Let’s go get this, my friend.

I accept what cannot be changed.
And I continue to dream.
It’s the thread between my heart and others’
that compel me to reach my hand into darkness.
It’s the dream that alights what is now
It’s the dream that will brighten tomorrow.

Don’t look back in anger,
you are being remembered,
remember you are loved,
give what you can for a cause,
keep the grind close to your heart,
treat others fairly.

As if I am standing just across a veil to you,
I feel your presence by my side.
whether it is an inch, a meter, or thousands of kilometers away,
I feel your presence by my side.
The way you swing your arms,
the way you crack open a laughter,
or the way your eyes crease by the sides,
it is as real as it had been a few moments ago.
Of course, I am stating clearly at the current of the time.
Still, knowing your presence gives me courage and hope.

It’s with people where you found it.
When you heard their voice,
fiery anger, heavy sadness, spring-like bliss,
when you listened to their story of hundreds of thousands of agonizing minutes,
their regrets and jokes of the past, the joy of what is now, and hopeful of the future,
that’s where you found it.
You gotta go back to it. Find a way if you cannot see it. Remember the honor of purpose of work.
Remember the past. Do not look away. Remember. Own it. Carry it.
We’ve got work to do.

Kid, you are loved.
In your smile, in your eyes, in your laughter,
the joy and the contentment melt together.
you are loved dearly, more than you can imagine.
So, have a courage.
Present yourself to the world out there
and explore the cosmos within you.
I’ll be there with you to carry you.

Just run.
You don’t have to hold back no more.
The world is your canvas.
Let your muscle, bones, and nerves express.
No more worrying, no more guilt, no more shame.
Let your soul rest satisfied.
Let it accept and be at ease.

You can’t beat someone in the game who enjoys doing it.
The speed with which she will soak up is exponentially more than those who sprint.
So, if you don’t truly enjoy what you do,
I suggest go look after what your heart and soul will contend in.
To do so, acknowledge what cannot be changed — the cornerstones first.
Then, weave your own storylines. Create the dream into the reality.
Yes, it is possible. So what do you wish for?
Keep drawing, even if it didn’t work out.
If it did, congrats. Let’s keep building on it.
