I've been feeling nostalgic a lot lately and I thought it's because I was about to have a baby...but now I'm beginning to think that it's because I'm afraid of what the future holds. Usually, I can consider possible outcomes and work out possible solutions for them, but now the number of unknowns is more … Continue reading Feels like nostalgia

Just breathe…
...it's a reminder that you still have life in you ...a reminder for you to be humble, your circumstances may change soon ...a reminder for you to be hopeful, your circumstances can change soon
Too many cooks spoil the broth…
...when they don't communicate. I've been thinking about that saying a lot recently. It's often used as a justification for one person doing all the work.

Even though I don't always enjoy that, I find that I still feel lonely sometimes, when I'm with other people. Needless to … Continue reading Outside looking in or inside looking out?

Even our physical appearance and attributes have changed to match the times...but our emotions though...those have stayed the same. The bubbly feeling of joy... The heart wrenching feeling of pain/despair/disappointment... The light-headedness of falling in love... The uncomfortableness of envy/jealousy... … Continue reading Random thought
