It’s nice to be appreciated, but only when the words have true meaning. It’s a lot like people would say, “we need to get together.” The words come out, but the action behind them disappears, and instead, they become just empty words.

When Things are Falling Apart
When things in our lives seem to go wrong, we feel as if it’s the end of the world because we can’t see further than what’s right in front of us. It is only when we look back that after we’ve survived the storm that we realize that those “broken” parts are actually pieces that make up the beautiful picture of life, a new start.
Just Imagine
Our imagination is so underrated. We need our imagination because it’s what helps us to push our boundaries, and if you’re anything like me, face your fears. It is through imagination that we can explore our ideas. It gets us in touch with our memories and our emotions.
Single at Heart
I was never one to focus on marriage or even being in a relationship growing up. I guess I was so used to being on my own that the thought of sharing my time didn’t interest me that much growing up. It wasn’t that I didn’t have good role models. My family was filled with…
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Feeling Alone or Lonely
It feels lonelier in this world. I often find myself people-watching, and I find that unless you’re in a grocery store, most people don’t want to be bothered talking. Maybe it’s because technology has made it so that our interactions with each other can be easily done through computers, cell phones, and even robots. Think about it, you can go into a store and check out by a computer without ever having to talk to a human. Such ways of living are causing more chances of feeling lonely.
I’m Sorry
Saying I’m sorry can be pretty powerful words to say, especially since apologies are a sign of empathy. At the same time, over-apologizing, or excessively saying sorry when you don’t need to could also hurt your self-esteem.
Solid Friendships
I sat down this week to watch my favorite all-time television series of four women whose friendships have taken them through the trials of this thing we call life. From dating, marriage, children, love, and loss; these four women stood by each other through it all. I wondered why I’ve always loved this series, and I came to realize it’s the friendship that they have in each other. It’s something that I keep missing in my own life.
