If your life is not the way you want it, complaining about it will not improve it. If you are in a relationship that is not equal and you don't like it, then change it. If you are not working and cannot find the job you want, and are tired of being broke, then find the job you don't want. If you always make excuses for things not being better, then they will never get better.
I believe there are levels of life
Being in a ditch looking up at level ground thinking, "If only I was there."
Being on level ground and thinking, "What a great thing it would be to stand tall and look at that level ground from above".
Standing tall and looking down thinking, "I am so happy I'm not down there anymore!"
there could be more...
Before I proceed, Happy first day of July to you all. Eheem, birth month. Good morning, wonderful friends.
Sometimes, we keep ourselves in the ditch looking up at those we are involved with who is on level ground and think they are better than us. It is not until we stand tall and realize that where they are is not better, it just looked that way from where we were.
I have been on so many levels of life. I have gone from the very up to the very lowest, and vice versa. Nobody said it is easy, but only you yourself can make the change. Until you love and respect yourself enough to do it for you, then it will not happen.
Be everything you can be, so you can appreciate where you no longer are.
Contemplating.
With all the world's loud noises, with the absence of human interaction in my life, I've left on a journey that I have not been willing to take. It is a tough journey. A lot of crazy times to spend meandering the limits of your soul. Venturing through memories, some life occasions that have transformed you, and parts of life you would much prefer disregard, yet are still excessively important with lessons you need to embrace. Ready or not, you have to face the reality.
I have been at the level of survival. Survival at its finest. Building invulnerable dividers around myself, closing down sentiments and feelings. Awful things occur, analyze them, and let them go. Walk forward. Continue to walk. Continuously get back up. Deny the agony. Deny your depletion. Prevent the pull from getting your heart that this isn't what life should resemble. Try not to surrender to the dread. Try not to flounder. Try not to think back. Try not to allow them to see your agony, that is a shortcoming. Try not to be powerless. Try not to give individuals access. Deal with others to the detriment of yourself.
I have spent meandering the limits of my mind, life, and story. I've likewise invested an extreme measure of energy contemplating people - mostly people in my virtual world. People captivate me. People baffle me. People inspire and motivate me each and every day. I learned so much from their experiences. The way that each and every journey differs for everybody, is something we as a whole need to appreciate.
This pandemic has taught me so much.
I thought I was ready for everything life chose to come up with. I thought I had the devices to deal with any emergency. I'd explored my life falling to pieces so often. I thought I was tough before that. It is real.
I was somewhat in a sweet sarcasm level tiny bit, obviously. Life chose to humble me amazingly. Since I am checking out my inward world, I realized I have positively no clue about what to do. I can't fix this. This is all new to me and to everybody.
We who rise out of this more centered around being better people can have an effect. Sharing our voices for people who can't represent themselves means a lot. Searching for ways where we can help in our neighborhood. Sharing lessons we have learned from and with other people. We all have a part in this life. We as a whole have a reason. If you've sorted out yours yet, set clear expectations on how you wish to make this world somewhat more brilliant for yourself as well as other people.
So yeah, life is tough they say. So are we, aren't we? I am so ready to get my second cup of coffee and will run some errands after that. Sometimes, it's nice to be needed, right now, my coffee needs me. I mean, I need more coffee.
Have a great day, my friends. Try to play nice and be good humans. It's almost impossible I know, especially when the temperature is so freaking humid makes us look like a haggard lion, right? lol but let's try anyway. Please take care of yourselves, others, your pets, and everything. Let's get it on!
One love

To my silent readers, kind commenters, generous sponsors, and all thank you very much. I do appreciate you all for visiting.
Took a screenshot of your introduction. Aray. Tinamaan ako. Hahaha. I am guilty of making excuses and reasons. I blame this, I blame that. I complain but I do something about it. Minsan kasi mapapacomplain na lang lalo kung pating-patong na sila.
Anyhow, I didn't know that you were also July just like Mhean. Belated happy birthday, Jerryl. 🎂🍨🍕🍝🍩☕🍻
