Thoughtful stories and everyday growth that bring calm, perspective, and inner brightness.
A Dad…
A protector, a good authoritative figure that sets standards
A wonderful man who teaches you lessons from day one
Someone who is funny, strict, and wants the best for you
Overprotective, but means well…
Anyone can be a father, but it takes a special man to be a Dad
Happy Father’s Day!
What notable things happened today?
I started on a new routine from 4 weeks ago to change my lifestyle. It was hard at first with the change in food.
Why is food the hardest to change?
I think cause everyone has a special relationship with food, especially with moods.
But I noticed when I cut out the sugar slowly, the cravings came but stopped with a substitute.
Never knew I ate or drank things with a lot of sugar, but when I cut it out my mood became more calm which was notable.
Hey, sorry it’s been a while since I posted anything.
Life always seems to get in the way that it’s kind of surprising how time moves fast.
I have gone through some lucky and unlucky events in the past few months that just changed my perspective on how everything is constantly changing.
Unlucky: Realized it’s just a couple more years till I go from my family and build my own life and need to learn to maintain the wonderful relationships I already have.
Sad because things are going to change more quicker than I thought and it scares me.
Plus a small unlucky procedure… Wisdom teeth removal is annoying and painful, but can’t avoid.
Lucky: Found a rare and wonderful deal to treat myself to a first ever vacation trip to a destination that is exciting and new.
Taking some time off of pressurizing myself and clearing my head in both work, home, career, and social life helps put my own happiness in perspective.
What activities do you lose yourself in?
I’m a quiet person, always shy to try something new.
Still getting over my shyness one step at a time with some activities I like and getting used to.
1. Binge watching Anime – I will always love watching anime by rewatching or finding new ones to watch for hours
2. Yoga and deep breathing – got into a nice yoga class and love just centering myself into relaxation
3. Power walks – walking is the kind of exercise that always help clear my mind that I lose myself and escape from reality a little
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
If I could permanently ban a word from general usage, it would be the word…werid.
Because it is mostly used negatively, which is always hurtful mentally.
It always seems to bring down a person whether they can’t accept themselves or change for an unusual reason
Because when someone acts a certain wat that seems surprising, scary, or worried
The word “werid” can be used in so many other ways that bring awareness in a better way
This way, a person won’t get hurt, it think something is wrong with them or be aware of what they are doing
List your top 5 grocery store items.
1. Banana
2. Whole wheat bread
3. Eggs
4. Cranberry Juice
5. Water
These are the basic breakfast and lunch foods to get. Simple sandwich, scrambled eggs, and bread that I mostly use for my favorite breakfast of French toast with banana toppings and scrambled eggs kn the side.
Never tasted cranberry juice until I wanted to change my diet… best choice I made
They come in sales, which makes it easier in thishard time when prices keep on rising
What’s your favorite word?
My favorite word is definitely UNIQUE. It’s the one word that can define every human that is in this world. Every person is unique in their own way, especially as we pass each other throughout life.
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
The last two things I searched for were probably a vacuum that helps with hardwood floors and a water filter pitcher.
Brooms are the basic cheap cleaning tool, but just remember that allergy season might come, and it’s better to invest in something that will help in the long run. Also, I didn’t know that even in water bottles, it’s safe to drink. It’s not good for storage in the long run. Plus, the chemicals in the plastic can seep into the water, so it’s better to invest in a filtered water pitcher to ensure that water is always safe to drink.
Dogs or cats?
If by preference, I would lean more towards dogs. Even though cats are cute as well. Early days, I loved playing with my babysitter’s two dogs. It made me a fan until I watched a lot of movies, including dogs, and it made me understand the phrase why they are man’s best friend. preference, I would lean more towards dogs.
