Have you ever looked at these people secretly wishing you were like them? Have you ever wondered how on earth they could be so happy? I know I have.

It is like we are all constantly chasing that feeling of happiness. To feel that we have reached our desired destination. To finally feel "happy".

It’s time to take a step back and figure out what will make YOU happy, not everyone else.

Expectations. We all have them. We can't help but feel them, yet we know deep down that having them allows for disappointment. No one likes to be disappointed. So why do we hold onto expectations? What is the point of having them if we are opening ourselves to disappointment?

Then just as we start to accept that everything is flowing, everything seems to start crashing down before our eyes. Nothing we want seems to be going our way. Things that were once easy now seem so difficult, the green lights now seem to be red and the flow of energy we once felt is now a cloud of darkness. Have you ever wondered why this could be?

The more I thought about it, the more I realised that the longer I continued doing what I was doing, the deeper into my comfort zone I would get. I would get sucked in and then stuck in a world I was accustomed to.

In the modern world with social media and dating apps, people are so easily accessible and even disposable, that old fashion courtship seems to have almost diminished. 

Every single one of us is fighting our own battle. Each one of us have experienced our own trials and tribulations. Each one of us have experienced our own kind of heartbreak, pain and loss.

Little did I know this meeting would change my life forever.

We meet people for a season, a reason or a lifetime. There are people we meet that will be of significance in our lives, whether it is for a short time or a long time

I would rather do my best trying to achieve my goals and making the most of my time here on earth than to not try and always be left wondering "What if?'. 

Why would me parents do that? Why would my boyfriend say that? How can my best friend do that? Why would my boss treat someone like this? How can someone say and do these hurtful things? All of these unanswered questions I carried around with me.

They say to "Ask and you shall receive" but what happens when all of our requests come at once? What do we do when we don't know what to do with it all?

At the end of the day, it is really up to us. We have a choice. Be careful what you wish for. 

"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity".

Whatever it is that we want, in some way or form, we have to take a risk. It is like we are in a constant exchange with the universe. If we want to receive, we have to sacrifice something.

The 24 hours I spent in Malaysia may have been short but it definitely was sweet. So sweet that it changed me forever.

They say that everyone we meet comes into our lives for a lifetime, a season or a reason. You my friend, were definitely a reason.

You are a lot tougher than you think and you really do deserve great things. Right now it feels like the world is against you.

He knew my past, he knew my insecurities, he knew how to use it against me and at the time, I believed him. After all, who would want someone like me? 

Why I am Addicted to Travel

I won't settle

Don't settle for anything less.
