Focus.
It’s time to focus on the basics.
Drop the unnecessary.
Only way through is focus, patience, and reflection.
There is a way.
Focus.

Way
I apologize for the didactics.
But here it is:
It’s actually simple — be simple.
Step aside from temptation to distract,
and you will hear your own voice,
remember your feelings,
and stay in touch with the present.
I hope you can find peace, courage, and hope.
I hope you find yourself.
I hope you find your way.

Read
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!

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

Highlight
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.

Dream
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.

You
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.

Presence
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.

Carry
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.

Run
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.
