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.

Now that you know you aren’t going to get what you thought you wanted, how are you going to move forward from this?

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".

What if I make a complete fool of myself? Who am I kidding? I’m no one special.

Why do we judge each other? At the end of the day, we are all f*cked up.

Can vulnerability be the answer?

At the end of the day, I believe every single person that crosses our paths can teach us something

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

How could a good and faithful God sit back and allow my life to unfold this way? Especially when I put my trust in him?

Create the life you have always dreamed of. I mean that, literally. Because that is the power of our minds. What we believe, we can achieve. 

Being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure - Bob Marley

First of all I don’t recommend dropping out of high school to anyone, but given I did it anyway, I am in a good position now to reflect on what it had taught me and how it has shaped me today.

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?

You start to question yourself, your goals, your motives and then you even start to wonder if it is all even worth it. Will you ever get there? 

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?

NO means NO. There are no if, buts or maybes.

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.

 It's not a question of "Am I good enough?" It's a question of "How much do I want it?"

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