It seems to me that solitude is where I find peace. I have been calm, stable, and self-sufficient on my own. I feel safe in my own skin. Within just 7 (seven) days, I have started to feel more serenity. I have been figuring things out, and things are starting to make sense better than it did before. My family is my treasure. God is my eternal salvation. Through Jesus, I met myself in a new light. I am in awe. 

I know for sure that everyone has different beliefs. This is mine. I won't force my way on people or tell them that my belief is the right one and anything else is invalid. 

I believe that as a Christian, it is not my purpose to hate. In fact, I should be more compassionate because true Christianity does not persecute, but inspire and persevere by the grace of God. 

Whenever anxiety would kick in, or panic attacks would happen, I take deep breaths. I pray. I listen to music. I talk myself through it. 

A life well-lived is not necessarily about perfection, but finding the lessons in the imperfections and learning to appreciate the blessings. 

Nobody said that a nice person would not face anything that could test their strength. This world is a constant cycle of highs and lows that would test endurance. 

In the end, the dots will be connected and we will all get to where we are all supposed to be. 

Some days I feel good, some days I feel bad -- but at the end of the day, I still actively choose to seek and count my blessings, face life's challenges and let them shape me, then smile. 

I don't have to be happy to smile. I could smile for the sake of smiling -- and hopefully, everything follows. 

Eventually, everything does. 

Sometimes, I get so broken. I face slip ups. Sometimes, we would not get shaped if we wouldn't get broken. Some pieces needed to be filtered out. Life is a never-ending experience. 

There are people who are there for me. I have my dear loved ones, but within myself, I know the one who would make the decision on the course of my life is me. 

For seven days, I have made more future days to be better with the realizations I have fed myself. 

Life gets better. 



Let your breakdowns be your breakthroughs tomorrow and your trials be your testimonies in the near future.
