“How do I thank my mother for giving me the life she desperately wanted for herself?”
- Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You
I couldn’t thank her enough for being the ‘not-so-perfect-but-still-the-best’ mother to me and my bro while also fulfilling a father’s duty. My only wish is for her to live a longer life, so I can give back the kind of life that she definitely deserves.
“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.
This is the start of something wonderful.✨
Three words;
Thank you, Lord!🤍
My Cedric Diggory!💛
Shoutout to low maintenance friends, the ones you don’t talk to for months because you are all busy in life but when you meet up, there’s nothing but love.
— Word Porn
It feels so good to forget responsibilities and meet with friends once in a while, just reminiscing the times when life was still less stressful and less demanding and just casually talking about future plans.💟✨

Life is not a race, so you better do everything slowly but surely. Remember, you are not in competition of anyone but yourself.

“Take a break and give your soul what it needs.”
— Audrey Kitching
My mind ain’t functioning properly. Ain’t receiving information. Might as well give it what it wants — a good book or a mind-blowing series.
“Sticking to one person for a lifetime is not a waste of time or lack of better ones, it means you've found your place of eternity.”
— Michael Bassey Johnson
I would rather stick to a sole person who knows and understands every bit of me than to have tons of sham people lurking around me. So glad to have found ‘the one’.
“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.”
— Amit Ray, On Chanting and Meditation
Stop thinking about the ‘what ifs’ and the ‘could have beens’. Be in the moment, and do not rush everything, for eveything will fall into its proper place in the perfect time.
The sea is caling my name. I must heed, but adult life iz stoppin’ me.

“To be sure, it was not Easter Sunday but Holy Saturday, but, the more I reflect on it, the more this seems to be fitting for the nature of our human life: we are still awaiting Easter; we are not yet standing in the full light but walking toward it full of trust.”
— Pope Benedict XVI
On Black Saturday, we fervently hope, wait, and trust that the light of Easter Sunday will come and shine upon us, eventhough we are unworthy of it.
Dear Friends, ‘It wasn’t the nails that held Jesus to the Cross – it was love’.
— Rev. David Williams
This is the purest kind of love that has ever existed in this world.
May we find it in our hearts to love the way Christ loves — to die for the sinners and the wretched.
“Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
— Fulton J. Sheen
We must go through “death” (by this word I mean —pain, suffering, betrayal, agony) in order to resurrect.
‘The washing of the feet and the sacrament of the Eucharist: two expressions of one and the same mystery of love entrusted to the disciples, so that, Jesus says, “as I have done… so also must you do.’” (Jn 13: 15)
— Pope John Paul II
Jesus suffered a lot before he ressurected. And just like him, behind all my sufferings, victory awaits. I just have to love unconditionally and follow His lead.
“He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself. Lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.”
— St. Catherine of Siena
God is a great provider, so do not fret. The right path is laid for those who believe in Him and who are ready to lose everything in order to follow His lead.
“Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him” (Luke 4:8). “Jesus knows what that means. It means lowliness, abuse, persecution. It means remaining misunderstood. It means hate, death, the cross. And he chooses this way from the beginning. It is the way of obedience and the way of freedom, for it is the way of God. And therefore it is also the way of love for human beings.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer (God Is on the Cross: Reflections on Lent and Easter)
The path we choose towards God is not all sunshine and daisies. It is rough and bumpy. But our destination is clear. It holds the promise of love, happiness and everlasting life.
No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.
— William Penn
Every victory entails a great amount of sacrifice. Before you even taste the sweetness of triumph, you need to taste first the bitterness of the process. And, that’s how you become Christ-like.
See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on, a donkey.
—Zechariah 9.9
Praise the Lord, our God, for hearing my cry for hope and salvation last night. My heart is grateful for granting my mom another new day to live. I am forever indebted to You!🙏🏼
