According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai — a reason for living.

Have you found your ikigai yet?

Looking back on 2021 is bitter and painful. I lost the most important person in my life — my mom. I can still vividly remember all the nights that I cried myself to sleep, the times when I questioned God and asked Him to take me with her, the days when I came home to an empty and lonely house, without the warmth of a mother waiting for me.

It’s without a doubt, the worst year of my life.

Now, as I bid farewell to 2021, may I also leave behind all the sorrow and heartache it brought me.

May 2022 be the year for complete healing and for finding new hope and strength from God.🙏🏼

Always.💟

Remember, you can still enjoy life while chasing your dreams.

Do not fret. There’s no need to hurry, for everything will fall into its place in the perfect time.

When light succumbs to darkness,

to whom do you run to?

And when desolation overpowers euphoria,

whose arms are gonna embrace you?

With all these inner demons to fight

and hidden battles to win,

why do we end up all alone...

with nobody to call home?

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.”

– R.M. Drake

And today is not the day where I am able to swim. Overthinking and sadness are drowning me. I can’t lose her yet. Not now, not in the days to come. She still has to witness a lot of milestones of mine.
