The beauty of time

The Beauty of Time?

It passes.

Hello again! I've stayed away for too long. I missed this place; I missed my safe space. It's been a wild couple of weeks – actually, pretty exciting, despite the chaos 😂.

The phrase "The Beauty of Time" has been on my mind lately. Whenever life gets overwhelming and I feel stuck, I remind myself that time passes, and so will this challenge. Between work and personal life, I've been struggling to find breathing room. It's either overwhelming or feeling inadequate.

In the midst of all this, I've learned to keep smiling, which brings me to another point: Stop romanticizing sadness. Growing up with a sick sibling taught me to put on a brave face, even when things were tough. We had to be happy for their sake, focusing on their recovery. This coping mechanism might seem unconventional, but it's helped me more than I expected. Sure, I have down days, but unless something catastrophic happens, I know things will get better.

I've met people who dwell on the negative, and it's draining, even heard there is ‘Sad boy/girl’ aesthetics, ffs, life is too short to be unhappy.

On a lighter note, when I'm feeling down, I blast The Weeknd's House of Balloons and chant the chorus – it's my therapy 😂❤️.
