Tomorrow’s still an Option

Maybe now you’re hurt. But nobody says tomorrow you won’t heal.

Maybe now you’re scared. But nobody says tomorrow you can’t be brave.

Maybe now you’re sad. But nobody says tomorrow you won’t find your happiness.

Maybe now you’re struggling. But nobody says tomorrow it can’t become much easier.

Maybe now you’re alone. But nobody says tomorrow someone won’t appear in your life.

And maybe now what you really need to do is believe that everything will be alright when the time is right.

After all, everything will be alright in the end. And if everything’s not alright, it’s not the end.

Perfect?

We are all too caught up with the idea of perfection that we can’t see anything beyond that.

Everyone always says nothing is perfect.
We are quite aware of that.
But we all know deep down we still wish for that perfection.

Secretly, we all dream of having a perfect life.
We search for the perfect partner to get married with.
When we have our partner, we hope to have a perfect wedding.
And then we wait for perfect timing to do that.
Just like that the list goes on with everything our whole life.

It consumes us and when everything starts crashing down and doesn’t go ‘perfectly’ as we plan, we keep thinking that life sucks big time. When really it’s just you that decided to make it seem like it.

All this mindset about perfection shouldn’t exist at all. Everyone should know there is no such thing as perfect. The word itself doesn’t sound right.
Why not just replace it with the word right instead?

For example, instead of saying ‘I have a perfect wife’, why don’t you say ‘I have the right wife’.
It is much more meaningful when you put it that way.

Even if it is not ‘Perfect ‘, it is still ‘Right’. See what I am trying to say? Much better don’t you think?

Now I leave it to you to decide.

Sincerely me,
Az.Ra

Never Wrong to Feel

Some day you start your morning feeling great but end it pretty badly.

Some day you start by being so happy but going to sleep feeling sad.

Some day you wake up feeling motivated to finish your work, but later turn to bed with unfinished work still.

Some day during your morning you feel grateful with how everything in your life turned out, but going to sleep questioning what you did wrong when things start to fall apart.

And somehow it is never wrong to feel all these emotions because you’re human.

Your feeling is worthy of your attention even if it is not so positive.
Never doubt that.

Just don’t drown in it for too long

Sincerely me,
Az.Ra

What Goes Around Comes Around

We keep wondering how they can smile so big, we don’t seem to realize that was their way to hold themselves together from crying in tears.

We keep wondering how they’re so confident in front of others, we don’t realize that they also hide their shaking hand behind their back when nobody sees.

We keep wondering how they can have so many friends in their life, we don’t seem to realize that only a few were the real ones.

We keep wondering how they’re so successful in their career, we don’t realize that they also had to sacrifice their family time just to complete loads of work.

We just keep wondering so we forgot the fact that everything in life comes with prices. When you get some, you lose some.

You might miss the brightness of the sun during the rain, but you got to see the colourful rainbows after that instead.
Just because you don’t get what you wish doesn’t mean you won’t get what you meant to have.

Sincerely me,

Grateful Work Wonder

When you angry with your parent because they give you advice for your own good,
Somewhere in this world, someone that loses their parents wishes they still have one.

When you complain because your parent forget to bought your favourite food,
Somewhere in this world, someone has to fast all day because they don’t have food to eat at all.

When you think life don’t treat you fair just because you can’t get your dream car to show off unlike your friends,
Somewhere in this world, someone has to walk miles in the heat just to buy groceries.

And maybe when you stop counting what you don’t have and start appreciating what you already got, you will see how lucky you already are.

Sincerely me,
Az.Ra

It All About You

When they say ‘stay strong’, it doesn’t mean you’re weak.

When they say ‘be brave’, it doesn’t mean you’re a coward.

When they say ‘stay happy’, it doesn’t mean you’re depressed.

When they say ‘be nice’, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

Every meaning behind their words doesn’t matter. What really matters is how you decide to translate it for yourself.

You can see it as a bad thing and you will see yourself in a negative light. Or you can view it in a positive way and feel good about yourself.

It’s all in our hands. That is what makes life better. You’re the boss. Your life. Your choice.

Sincerely me,
Az.Ra

“Stop Trying” not entirely a bad thing

Sometimes ‘stop trying’ is not a bad thing.

It’s good sometimes to stop trying to care when they don’t even take their time long enough to appreciate it.

It is also good to stop trying to make an effort to spare their feelings when they don’t even spare a second to apologize for hurting you.

It is also a good thing to stop trying to force a conversation that you clearly know one side when we all know relationships involve both sides to make it work.

And sometime it is good to just stop trying for others and start trying for ourselves.

Sincerely me,
Az.Ra

Mistakes

They say you learn from your mistakes. That’s true.

But they also forget to say that you only learn anything from your mistakes if only you acknowledge them.

So I say don’t feel ashamed to admit your mistakes.

Don’t try to lie to cover it up from others.

Don’t try to sugarcoat others with a million reasons as to why you make them.

Don’t try so hard to forget and bury them in the back of your mind.

Just remember them. Embrace them. Only then you can start learning not to repeat it again.

Sincerely me,
Az.Ra
