~ Move With Humility ~

~ Currently crushing on: Bellaanna and Sabrina ~ 🌺

I was watching a journaling video in 2020 and spotted these. It was love at first sight. I decided to wait until these became available in India. 

I finally found these last week, listed on a local store’s Instagram page. You can imagine my delight. 

They were delivered yesterday and I had to play with all the inks I had to make tons of Bellaanna and Sabrina flowers! (The stamps from Mo Card are a journaller’s delight.) 

There was this quote on their boxes that made my heart smile, “Look for the most beautiful flower in the box and give it to you.”

~ Have you wondered how big an act of faith you perform every single night, as you fall asleep in the arms of darkness, trusting life to awaken you each morning, back to light? ~ @anvidoshi

As often as you need, disconnect from the noise of the surrounding world so that you can listen to yourself clearly. 🌺

Quote from: Haro to Ao no Obento Bako

Sometime last year, a post of @galadarling said, "You are not stuck. You are choosing not to choose." . This hit home. . I was in a rut, in regards to a lot of aspects of my life. I kept telling myself "I don't know what to do" and I kept chanting that "I was stuck". . Slowly, on reflecting upon Gala's words, I realised, I wasn't stuck, I was choosing not to make a choice because I was afraid I would make the wrong ones. . But, I learnt that if you don't choose, you don't move forward and as hence, you stop yourself from growing. . So this year, I started to choose to choose. I am learning to become "unstuck" one choice at a time. . For anyone who needs to hear this today: make a choice. Even if it turns out to be a terrible one. Because despite the bad result, you are at least moving, you are at least learning and you are at least willing to choose a direction. Sometimes, that's all it takes to come unstuck.🌼

A Japanese Vlog that Reminded Me of the Beauty of Life...

I discovered a YouTube video from the creator Takasu Tile named ‘[Country Life in Japan] An Amazing Trip to Kyoto with My Best Friend in the Fall’. 

It was peaceful, lovely, and reminded me of all the beautiful little things life offers.

🌸 Fall colors with trees and mountains as far as the eye can see.

🌸 The ‘best friend’ (Oku-chan) of this video’s creator enjoying a bowl of Udon.

🌸 A noodle-bowl appreciation moment which was so nice to read.

🌸 The hues of orange-yellow that only Fall has copyrights to.

🌸 Two best friends who enjoy walking. 

🌸 The kind of red you don’t want to stop looking at.

🌸 Staying at an inn and watching a canopy of golden sunlight.

🌸 Back home, making Matcha tea for the grandmother.

🌸 Holding a warm cup of tea on a cold night.

~ Growth is a silent, invisible thing ~ . Growth is a quiet affair;  a day-to-day phenomenon. . Growth happens behind the scenes, you and your heart, the only witnesses. . Growth creeps up on you, subtly, ordinarily. One day you're a seed and then steadily, you see yourself become the majestic tree you envisioned yourself to be. . Growth speaks of humility and surrender. . Growth is the messy, chaotic, tumultuous in-between.  . And if you aren't paying attention, those delicate moments of growth pass you by without being cherished. . So, keep your heart and mind in tune with your present self as you bloom bravely, day after day, night after night.
