Things you must do to move forward in your life:

1. Learn to let go when you know you’re only wasting your time focusing on something or someone that’ll only keep your feet anchored to where you are now. You have to move forward every day, even bit by bit. Life isn’t meant to revolve around one place, one person, or even one thing because it is meant to be lived by enjoying and going with the flow of the days.

2. Forgive people for their mistakes, but bring the lessons you’ve learned from what they’ve done. You cannot move forward if you’re still holding on to grudges. Free yourself from being a slave of hatred, which always tells you to make a move for your revenge. Learn to forgive no matter how big their mistakes affect you, because those things happen to teach you something that only you can discover.

3. Wander as much as you can, because every place will teach you different things, and you will learn a lot of things about yourself. Wandering will also open your eyes to the real condition of this world and let you realize what simple thing you can do to help our Mother Nature.

4. As much as possible, avoid expecting and assuming things. We should not claim the uncertain, because life is erratic and no one really knows what will happen next. Let’s just give our best shot to whatever we do without expecting anything in return. Expecting things to happen will only let disappointments run into your life. Just be happy, be good, be brave to face obstacles in life, and let God’s will be done.

5. Value yourself. Life is meant to be enjoyed, but it will never happen if you’re seeing yourself as trash. You have to see your flaws, because all of us have our own, but see them as something you could turn into an armor that’ll strengthen you. Do not discourage yourself from trying things that may help you grow. Remember that only you can play the role of yourself in this world, so do not hesitate to be you and to show the inner creativity that resides within you.

Supporting someone with anxiety💙 //

08/07/2025

A lot of things are hard to understand when you're in the middle of them. When life doesn’t go the way you thought it would, it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost your way.

But it’s all part of it. Every step. Every choice. Every ripple.

None of it is separate. None of it is wasted.

The path isn’t some perfect road that leads to a clean ending. It’s not a straight shot to some island where everything works out. You take yourself with you, wherever you go.

There’s just here. And then another here. And another after that.

Life expands. Falls apart. Rebuilds. Twists. Turns. And still—you're on it.

The straight line? Total myth.

We zig. We zag. We grow. And when it feels like you’re lost, you’re usually closer than you think.

You're not off the path. You’re on it. You always have been.

ps. If you're in the middle of it and need someone to walk with you through the mess, I work with people 1:1 and would love to help. Here's how: readthiswhen.substack.com/p/coaching

An open letter to those whose insecurities are consuming them:

I know there are times when you are looking in the mirror and you don’t like what you are seeing. You feel that you are not good-looking. There are times when you also feel like you are having a hard time making friends because you think no one will like to be your friend. You think too much about the way you speak, the way you act, and the way you think because you are afraid to be misjudged. You have low self-esteem because, of all the good qualities that a person can have, you feel as though you don’t have even one of them. You question a lot of things about yourself, especially your worth.

I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. I know that I am in no way invalidating what you feel, but maybe I can help you start to see the good things about you that you failed to see. The truth is that you always have those insecurities because you tend to overthink a lot of things. Overthinking often leads to anxiety until you don’t know how to escape anymore. Well, acknowledge your feelings, and this might be quite an odd thing to say, but don’t fight your insecurities yet. The more you try to fight them, the more they resist. Let yourself know them. What are the roots of those insecurities? Once you know the answer to that, that’s the time to slowly overcome them.

What you put into your mind will be what your whole self starts to believe. So instead of feeding your mind with doubts and negativities, start feeding it with good things. Remind yourself that you are worthy and that you are capable of becoming better. Make it a habit to remind yourself of that until one day you’ll realize that you are already believing it. Aside from telling that to yourself, of course, you must actually put it into action. Slowly, start overcoming your insecurities. If you have low self-esteem because you are not a good speaker, practice speaking; if you are not confident with your writing, singing, dancing, or other things you want to do, practice them. If you want to be better, you will do things to be better.

I hope that one day you’ll look back on this post and smile because, on that day, you already overcame what you are currently struggling with.
