come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
life is short, in retrospect.
everything changes too,
contrary to expectations & wishes.
as people and places ebbs and webs,
sensing when is the time to let go
and when is the time to get a grip
is a serene balance.
may there be a courage to move forward
with faith in heart
hopefully leading to a peaceful night.

to know you are truly free is a necessity
more than the boundaries of the body,
it is the boundary of the mind that hinders.
once we try — and fail — we recognize it
every day, we strive to be freer,
to experience who we truly are.

not all things go your way.
accept the difference
respect the boundaries,
and understand their perspectives.
who knows,
one day it will work out.

be what you are
let the results fall
you’ve done all what could do
it’s nerve-wrecking
but in the name of love
what can we not do?
so be who you are
and may the world show you what it has

remember those who helped you.
remember to pass along their love.
when you give, you are actually receiving.
stay focused on small things to be grateful of
hopefully, your effort will be seen.

there is no respite.
at least for now.
in this chaotic fistfights,
there’s a joy
of knowing that I am alive.
one day, there’ll be a blue sky over the head.
we’ll lay down on green grass
and enjoy a gentle breeze of the wind.

Survived the last round of dog fight
who knows what the future brings
rise again and fight
tomorrow is another judgment day.
remember to love
It will guide you the way
3.28.2023
now is not the time to cry
now is the time to rise and fight
fear not against merciless challenges
protect your sense of purpose
remember to retain your humanity
and charge forward

like a flash of sunlight reflected on a car’s side mirrors
photos unexpectedly reminds me of a version of me I had forgotten.
so different I am from who I was back then
I wonder if I would have even liked the person if I were to met him today.
I will thank him for all he has done for me.
I know he tried his best in his own circumstances.
I would have hugged him (of course he would become confused as heck)
for all things that didn’t work out,
let’s say it was meant to be.
I am grateful for what I have done for myself.

it’s better to be miserable
learn your troubles first
than to be in a bliss
neglecting those issues
it’s humbling experience
but I hope my heart maintains
love, respect, and kindness
through it all.
