Friday

 On certain days people won't understand you. They won't understand your reasoning or even circumstances. Those days one comment can knock you down and you soon become doubtful. DON'T! Don't listen to their voices for they are just noise. Instead be bigger, braver, and bolder. Make sure to be louder, let them see you. They will see the confidence and they will be in your shadow only wishing and hoping they too could roar as thunderously as you. 

In college, people considered me as a free spirit. I never allowed others to confine me with their views or comments. Instead, I would simply smile and go on with life. Now words seem to tear me down. Why? Maybe it's because I am a solo traveler at the moment, and I doubt myself every day. Why? What am I doing? Where am I going? The why is becoming a poison. Instead, I mute the why and I mute the voices, and think. . . 

Look how far I have come. 

I live in London. I moved abroad when others around me stayed. I decided to test fate and destiny. I listened to a TikTok recently and it hit hard. "That's how much time you get if you're lucky. 75 Years. 75 winters, 75 springs, 75 summers, 75 autumns. When you look at it like that, it's not much time. Get your head out of the rat race. WHAT IS IMPORTANT NOW?" 

We tend to forget that time is priceless. Time is fleeting. So stop listening to everyone else. Because truly no one cares, we are all narcissists. We care about ourselves at the end of the day. So simply live, and make everything you think of a reality. What's stopping you? If it's yourself, listen to your gut. You can't go wrong otherwise.
