Self-made Little Mermaid

Dyed my hair red,
’cause now I’m less afraid
to be called the “unconventional” as they more than once said.

Currently appreciating days being on a wade,
like it’s a much-needed escapade.
Truly, it’s a crazy adventure I wouldn’t trade.

Anyhow, if a Disney Princess has to be portrayed,
No doubt, I’ll now choose The Little Mermaid.
Not only for the reason we’re both redhead,
but because to her, two worlds had also been laid.

First is the life she knew as she aged…
Second is a whole new reality she unveiled.
Though the latter is completely unpaved,
she did what it takes to have a future that’s well-made.

Now that I’m no longer unfazed,
you can call me (m)ARIEL Jade 😌🤣

That’s it for now. 🍃 Thanks for reading! ✨

What’s the very core of living?

The cycle of life is perpetual. People study to have a stable job in the future. Then work to achieve goals and basically support the family.

Some people put up new businesses and investments that can assure them financial stability while some simply want to spend their days travelling and visiting places while they still can. Others who are capable enough, share their hard-earned money to charities and less fortunate. Volunteering is also another way. Some people pursue their passion on crafts or on the other facets of life. There would also be folks who seek for new sports, hobbies, or adventures. The focus on health and the betterment of well-being is considered too. Some migrate to meet new acquaintances, get involved in a different community, and immerse themselves to a whole new kind of weather.

There would be a myriad of reasons that can motivate us on how we’ll spend our daily lives, but whatever they may be, everything boils down to one thing—happiness. We may have innumerable ways to attain such matter, yet the core per se is purely to be in a state of bliss and fulfillment.

We can start from there, knowing, creating and choosing what brings joy to our hearts. 💖

Soft yet Strong: Can you be both?

“Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered.” – Yasmin Mogahed

Are you one of the few?

Many genuine spirits have turned down into something less desirable just to fit in with the society. Nowadays, kindness is being perceived as weakness especially to those who don’t know how to play.

The concept of toughness that most of us are accustomed to is more about the conspicuous aspects like a person’s stance and capacity to suppress heavy emotions with the belief that crying is for the weak.

Pain changes people, really. However, that change will not depend on the pain, but on the people. It will be up to us. It will be under our control.

21 things every 21-year-old individual should know

Twenty one: Too old to be a kid, yet too young to be an adult.

Whenever I get new understanding from experiences, observations, and other people’s stories–no matter where I am or what I do–I make sure to take note of it. Basically, it took me a few months to accomplish this list, as I want to complete it the way it is and in accordance with my life’s pace.  I want it to cover the changes that happened to my perspectives and views when I became a 21-year-old individual.

I don’t force anyone to agree with me, but I believe you can still learn a thing or two by reading the following. 😉

Something about August

I don’t know. I really don’t know.

Remembering it’s now August makes me so pensive and at some point, hopeful. I’m really confused, but I’m in no rush. Maybe I’m just really maturing that’s why I reflect even on the simple things.

Something bothers me. Something I know is my solace at the same time. Something more, something new, something true. Something about August.

I  travel far from home to work and vice versa which gives me more time of musing about life and every little detail of it.

Maybe. Just maybe, some good things are only meant to be experienced and dreamt about. But I’ll just let it be, to let myself grow. Sooner or later, I know I’ll have what’s store in stash for me. Maybe I just have to stay strong and positive because that’s the only resort.

The only thing I must always be sure of is that God loves his people so much and that I should never worry about anything for He’s omniscient and omnipotent.

Someday, I’m sure, I’ll find the answers on  that something about August.
