Dear BCH
`Date: August 7, 2022 (Sunday)`
Dear BCH,
It's been a couple of weeks since the last time I decided to have a hiatus on writing thoughts. Looking back, my mind back then was so cloudy that I can't think clearly on what to do as I was suffocated by the rapid changes in my life. It seems like I just want to go somewhere far from my town and unwind a bit. It's hard, I could say. What's even harder was the thought that I have no one to talk to.
Just so you know, for the past weeks, I have been so distant with my friends. I decided to get distant even more as I tried to assess and I can't relate to what they're talking about. We have this group chat and they were so happy talking about stuff and there I was, can't even relate on their exchange of thoughts. But then, as we hangout again lately, I realized that things are still the same and I was the only one distant.
In terms of my workplace, I also felt a bit dizzy. Things have changed a lot. The bond that we once built has gradually loosen and it made me feel sad. The harmony in the environment turned toxic. I even wonder if time will come where I could feel the ambiance in our workplace before, full of rainbows and butterflies. But I guess, it would be a delusion for me to wish for it to happen anew since a lot has changed.
Moving on to my journey here on Read, I was not supposed to be out for long. I decided to just be away for a day ot two, but life will really punched you hard, as I realized that with all the things that has been happening around me lately, I lose the spark that I have for writing. You see, I love to write motivational stuff, not because I am perfect in that area, but it's also a way for me to remind myself on those positive aspects. But here I am again, deciding to take the path to writing.
Bitcoin Cash, I want you to know that for the past weeks, there's not a day where I can't think about you and your wonderful communities: Read and Noise. In Read, I wonder how are my friends that I used go interact with I missed talking to them a lot. I even feel sad that I haven't renewed the sponsorships of my other friends, but I will surely renew all of them once I will save a good amount to give them. I am also happy today by the way, as I saw my friend @TheGuy renewed his support. I am so happy that even if I was away for a couple of weeks, he still supported me and believed that I will continue to write in this platform. I am truly grateful for him. It has given me more motivation to continue. Now on Noise, I posted long ago as well. But I will be back there and that's for sure.
For the past weeks, I would like to share the lesson that I have learned which uplifted my spirit and get back on track:
***Growing means changing. If you want to stay the same in life, then you will never grow.***
Lately, I wanted to get back the life I once had. But I realized that maybe I am feeling this way. Like maybe I feel like a lot of things have changed in my life is because I am also growing. I realized that the changes that I have experienced are already the result of me going out from my comfort zone. I guess what I need to do is to embrace the changes and expect for more. I realized that this is what life has been whispering me all this time, but I was not listening as I was too busy focusing on things I can't control. I am also grateful to find the wonderful thought that became a key for me to realize a lot of things in life.
I guess that's it for today BCH. I'll definitely be back tomorrow and share to you a little part of my day. I hope despite the bear market, you're still doing good, as well as our dear friend Rusty.
Have a great day ahead!
Always,join
Leticia Felize

The Upside Down
`Date: July 23, 2022 (Saturday)`
Where have I been for the past 3 days?
I have been missing-in-action for the past 3 days. Just so you know, I was absent not because I was demotivated again or feeling lazy. The truth is, I started my Stranger Things journey and I never thought that I would be this inlove with a series again.
Back when I already have a Netflx account I shared with my cousin, I started to find for series recommendations that I could watch these days. That's when **I thought of watching the "Stranger Things" series**. I have been seeing posts about it from my social media friends last May to June I guess and I can't even relate.
When I started watching the Season 1, Episode 1, I was not really into the series yet. I was still confused on this and that, but then when Will started to get missing, I wonder where did he really go. I wonder what happened to him and that's when my curiosity continues. As I continued the series I fell inlove to it that I can't stop watching until the latest season.
With the love that I have for the series, I finished every Season, everyday. I even finished the whole Season starting from Season 1 to Season 4 for around 3-4 days only. Now, I can't wait for the next season. They said that the next season will be the finale and will be premiered 2024 I guess. It's still so far, but I can wait. I hope time will fly so fast.
So from the series, I was really into the "Upside Down" world. I started thinking if the upside down really exist in this world. I mean, not really about monsters and stuff. I'm talking about like a parallel universe. If that is true, I wonder how would I be like in that universe. I love to indulge myself with these thoughts, it enlightens my curiosity. I may not be able to get accurate answers if I try to dig in, but I love it.
By the way, I still can't get over with the episode wherein Max was saved by her friends; that was iconic. Although something happened on her in the end (spoiler, sorry), but I do hope things will be better for her in the next season.
Moreover, I can't help but fall in love so much with the series. Even in my Tiktk account, I kept on seeing posts about Stranger Things. I am even inlove with Millie Bobby Brown. I love her so much. Noah is also cute. I don't know why, but I love every video I saw.
As of the moment, I still have a lot of words to say about the series. Perhaps what can I do now is relax and wait for that time where the next season will be out. I'm also waiting for the Locke and Key series as well.
***How about you? Have you watched the series?***

Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness
`Date: July 19, 2022 (Tuesday)`
Who else loves the stars in the sky?
When the night breaks especially when the weather is good, I always make sure that I get to take a look outside and check if the stars already appear. Just so you know, I am such a big fan of the stars that I would never miss the moment of looking at them at night. They're just one-of-a-kind that no matter how many hours would I stare at them, I will never get tired of them.
I remember back when I was still studying, I was simply looking at the stars around 11 in the evening. I was just chilling on the balcony to get some fresh air after answering the assignment that was given to us when a shooting star appeared. I was so astounded after seeing such. I guess throughout that night I witnessed around five of them in one night. Then as I watched the television the next morning, that's when I realized that there was an event where the shooting stars will indeed appear during those times.
Moreover, my love for the stars started when I was still young and continued until now that I am an adult. But as I continue to adore these wonderful views in the sky at night, I realized that we can extract a meaningful lesson from this wonderful scenery.
Stars can't shine without darkness.
We all know that stars are always there. No matter what the time is, be it during the day or even night, they are there. Howbeit, they are only visible during the night when there is darkness than during the day when the sun appears. Moreover, we can relate it to our lives and learn wonderful lessons from this thought.
**Through Darkness, the Good Ones Shine**
Without the bad things in life or should I call it the darkness of life, we will not be able to see the good ones shine. We will not be able to appreciate what's important especially when we are always surrounded by light.
**We Realized What Truly Matters**
When we are surrounded by so many challenges in our lives and we are surrounded by so many uncertainties, that's when the darkness takes over. But only during those times when we realized what truly matters We realized a lot of things during those times. It's not a curse to experience darkness, as darkness could become a blessing in disguise. It will pave a way for what's essential.
**We Realized What We're Capable Of**
Through the dark days in our lives where we know what we are truly capable of doing or what we can do more amidst the difficulties that will be a way for us to shine. That's when we realized that we can do more in life, that we have more potential than we expected. In short, the challenges in our lives can be the way for us to unlock our full potential.
If one day, darkness will appear in your life again, instead of complaining or soaking yourself in sadness because of it, why not take it as a challenge to unlock your full potential and what you are truly capable of. Don't fret, stay calm and do your own thing. Shine bright like the stars in the night.
Above all, it's simply amazing that the masterpiece of God could be a great source of meaningful lessons that we can apply in our lives. It can also make us become better people. You see, the darkness may feel scary and we don't know what to do if ever it comes, but always remember that it can be a way for us to see our potential and what we can do more in life.
*****Don't be afraid, trust the process and know what matters.*****

Yes You Can
`Date: July 18, 2022 (Monday)`
How's your life lately? Are you feeling blue again? Or perhaps doubtful of your journey?
As of the moment, you might be thinking so much about the spins and turns of life again. You might be scrolling through your social media accounts and seeing your batch mates living the life of their dreams. A lot of things have changed in other people's lives as well as the community you're in, yet you're still there, not knowing what to do and where to continue in the journey that you're supposed to walk with. Sometimes, the feeling that it gives you will make you feel down and it will suffocate your mind. You might then start questioning yourself:
***"Will I ever make it?"***
***"Will I ever reach the goals I have in mind?"***
***"Will my life gets better?"***
It's inevitable to think of all these things, especially since you're still figuring out what you must do in life to achieve your goals. Life is like a complex puzzle that no matter how much you try to solve the whole picture, it's just so hard.
The truth is, life will always be complicated and it will continue to get complicated as we age. No sorcery could magically make our lives feel better. There's no magic dust that could transform us into the person we wanted to become in a snap. We can't just wish and it will be granted like when you wanted it to have.
Because of the journey, you're in that's not an easy one, you start questioning your potential. You start to mock yourself for being like this and that. You try to hurt yourself through your words. You're thinking of trying to be someone you're not just to achieve what others have achieved. You're even starting to make yourself down in the process. Howbeit, just be easy on yourself because, in the end, it's you who will get so affected by it.
Perhaps, by that thought, you start to doubt your journey and even your potential. If you start to feel down since you're feeling pressured or even seeing no progress at all, fret not and instill these words in your mind:
**Yes You Can Achieve Your Goals**
You have the potential to reach the goals that you have been aiming for yourself. Always remind yourself that nothing is impossible in life as long as you work for it and never give up on achieving it. You can achieve your goals, in His time. Never be tamed by the negative whispers in your head, you're more than that. You deserve so much in life and you will achieve them.
**Yes You Can Become a Better One**
Every day is an opportunity to become better. Believe that you can, take risks, and don't be afraid to fail. One day, you will wake up and realize how much you've grown.
**Yes You Can Make It**
Whatever desires you have in your heart, believe that you can make it. Don't bother comparing your journey to anyone, but yourself. You can make it, just trust the process and do your thing.
Now, here's a catch: Life is a process.
You need to understand that life is not about magic where you can be like that in a blink of an eye. Again, no. So, you have to understand that there's no shortcut to achieving what you wanted to achieve in life. Just go with the flow in life and learn to play with the waves instead of being sad about the things that are happening.
Always remind yourself that a lot of people believe in you. Always believe that the people around you especially those who truly care for you are wishing you success. Most especially, believe that you can achieve things and you will be unstoppable.

Be Proud of Every Step You Take
`Date: July 17, 2022 (Sunday)`
Are you proud of yourself?
Right now, try to ask yourself that question. Try to reflect on the first answer that you have in mind. Try to internalize if you are proud of yourself and what you've become then pause for a moment.
Perhaps, we seldom think of this question. We may seldom congrats ourselves for what we have become. One factor that affects us is the thought that we tend to compare.
Sometimes, we are so busy checking the cups of other people that we tend to get distracted and focus on our own cup. We never realized that out cup is overflowing since we are busy looking out at others' cups. That's a sad thought, but it's true. I guess it's inevitable for us humans to go through. Instead of focusing on our own blessings, we tend to overlook our blessingas and check on the blessings that other people have received. Instead of making progress for ourselves, we tend to compete with other people's journey and wish to surpass them in someway.
Moreover, this thought or even practice would never give something positive in our lives. It will only harm our progress. It will ruin the plans that we have been aiming to achieve ever since. It will make us feel down and in the end, we question if we could still make it. We even tend to not mind the things that we have achieved in our lives.
Focus
Learn the art of focusing on your journey, not on the journey of others. Be proud of every step that you take; even how big or small they are, congratulate yourself. Be proud of what you have received instead of mocking yourself for not being able to reach what you wanted to achieve.
***"Don't wait until you make it for you to say that you're proud of yourself."***
The little things or small achievements that you have done in life deserve to be celebrated.
*"Be proud that you finally cleaned the area that you've been aiming to clean since last week."*
*"Be proud of yourself that you become productive than usual."*
*"Be proud that you finally decided to share your thoughts in your workplace."*
*"Be proud that you decided to face your fear."*
*"Be proud that you slept early yesterday."*
*"Be proud that you finally start your workout."*
Every little thing that you have done in life means so much. They are not just a random thing that we must take for granted. They are the little things that will create a big thing in our lives. Be proud of these things.
Cheers!
One day, when you try to be better by focusing only on your progress and not on the progress of others, it will make a difference; a huge difference that you never expected to happen.
Love Yourself
Learn to love yourself. Don't be too hard on your journey. You deserve to be happy. If you keep on adding pressure to yourself, it will end up making you feel suffocated. Instead of wanting for you to achieve more in life, it will only push you down.
Through self-love you will be able to understand, that you don't need to be like them or like this to be better. You are worthy of everything. You deserve more in life, jist learn to erase the stain of comparing lurking in your mind. Always tell yourself that you are worthy and you are proud of what you've become. Never make yourself down.
Be Patient
I know how eager you are to achieve your goals. I know how eager you are to be someone you've always wanted yourself to become. I know that you've been longing to reach all the desires of your heart. But as you're still on your journey towards it, be patient. Don't hasten the journey, embrace it. Time will come that you'll reach them all.
Also, learn to te yourself these words everyday:
***"I am proud of you self. I am proud of you now, and what you will become in the future. No matter what happens, I am so proud of you."***
Every hour of every day, tell yourself that your proud of him or her. Celebrate your small achievements. Love yourself. Always bear these thoughts in mind.
One day, this little thing would pave something positive in your life.
*****Be proud of yourself, always.*****

On Watching Movie Series
`Date: July 15, 2022 (Friday)`
How many hours would you spend in a day for a movie series?
Way back when I was still studying, I was so addicted to watching movie series, especially the Korean dramas. I love kdrama so much as the storylines were not only entertaining, but the actors also portrayed their roles so well.
I remember watching "The Goblin" wherein I finished it in two to three days. I skipped some parts, especially the not so hooking ones, but I still enjoyed and understand the plot though. I loved that series so much that even after it has finished, I was still hoping that there's a sequel to it.
I also remember watching the series, "I am Not a Robot". I cried during the part when the guy already knew that the girl was a human. It hurts my heart so much that time. And the series, "Angel's Last Mission", it was indeed superb and I can't help but cried a lot especially on the heartbreaking scenes. You know, I'm such a cry baby especially when watching kdramas.
Another series that I remember finishing in less than a day was an anime series, "Akame Ga Kill". At first, I don't feel the storyline, but as the story continues, I realized how wonderful it was and continued watching only for a few hours. I was deeply hurt with that first anime series that I've watched because most of the heroes died.
Fast forward today, I finally got a Netflx account from my cousin, so I was so excited to dig in some movies or even series available. Then as I was scrolling through the upcoming movies and series, I found out that Locke and Key series Season 3 was about to be premiered this coming August 10; I'm so excited. Howbeit, I realized as well that I wasn't able to watch the Season 2. With that, I started watching it around in the morning and finished it around 7 or 8 this evening.
Each episode consist of around 50 minutes and there are 9 episodes in Season 2. You know the feeling that you wanted to take your eyes off the screen but you can't help yourself because you wanted to finish the series so much-- and so I did. I was so happy. Now, I'm so excited for Season 3. I wonder what will it be like.
As of the moment, I'm planning to watch Stranger Things. I have watched like a part of Episode 1 in Season 1. I know I still have a long way to go, but I know for sure that I will be able to finish it one day.
You see, when I love the movie series that I am watching, I usually watch as much as I wanted to. Sometimes, even if my eyes hurt, as long as I'm hooked with the movie, I'll surely finish it.
**What movie series are you currently watching?**

There's No Straight Path Towards Success
*****Date: July 13, 2022***** ***~~**(Wednesday)**~~***
If today you feel like giving up on your journey because you have seen no progress at all, then read this.
You may be in your room right now, just sitting or perhaps laying on your bed while staring at a distance or even at the ceiling, feeling hopeless of the journey you are in. A lot of times you question your path. You feel dismayed that this is not the path you're imagining in your head while you're still crafting your goals. You feel sad on why things ended up to be this way, this is not what you ever wanted. You even have countless of thoughts that may become a hindrance towards pursuing the goal you have in mind.
***"I want to give up on this journey because I feel so incapable."***
***"I want to give up because it seems like my efforts are going nowhere."***
***"I want to give up because I feel so left behind."***
These thoughts keep on visiting in your mind so often that you feel suffocated and just wanted to give up to breath some fresh air. You just wanted to isolate yourself and find an area of comfort where you find peace. You just want to be successful in life. You just want to embrace the feeling of achieving the goals you have cultivated in your mind and heart, but challenges keep on embarking your journey.
Not to mention, in times like this, you must be firm enough and remind yourself these words:
**There is no straight path towards success.**
The path towards success is like the amazing race. There are different areas that you need to take. In every area there are challenges given. The path towards each one is never easy as well. It will burn you out, and will give you thoughts of giving up.
Never Give Up on Your Dreams; Learn to Rest
No matter how hard the path is, never give up. If you feel tired, if you feel suffocated on the events that are happening in your life, learn to rest and recharge. You should not add quitting as an option in your life.
I remember back when I just finished my studies and tried applying for jobs around the place. I looked for jobs here and there, but it's negative. No one seems to hire me because I have no experience. It made me feel down so much that I just want to give up on it. Howbeit, I realized that maybe I just need some time to unwind, and so I did. After recharging myself and my positivity, I tried looking for job with a positive outlook, and there I got hired.
You see, if I give up that time, I will never have the job and of course I will never have the life I have now as well. I could say that my life these days is never easy, but I know it will never be this way forever. So again let me remind you, never give up.
The Right Time Will Come; Trust the Process
You should remind as well that there's always a right time for everything. If you feel like it's not happening, just wait. One day, you will be surprised as great things will come in your life unexpected and will make your heart so happy. Have patience and trust the process.
Enjoy the Bumpy and Numerous Path towards Your Goal; Don't Fret
It may sound ironic to enjoy the bumpy and numerous towards our journey, but I guess it's what we need to do in order to survive. If we will allow ourselves to get dismayed, things will be so much tough for us.
You see, walking towards your goal is never easy. But if you embrace the journey no matter how hard it takes, the summit for you will be so sweet that you will thank yourself a lot for never giving up.
`To you who's struggling, you are not alone. Know that I understand you as I have been there. It's not easy, but just continue and never give up. Embrace the support that the people around you are sharing and remember why you started as well. I know you will be able to reach it one day in His time.`

Successfully Sold $181 USDT from BCH Funds
`Date: July 11, 2022 (Monday)`
HODL until the next bull run!
That's always been my motto ever since I started writing in the community and earning Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Since I have a permanent job, I take my earnings in this community as my way of investing for the future. I do believe that cryptocurrency is the future of the world and even if the market is ever fluctuating, I believe that the greenery will be showered upon the market anew.
As the market fluctuates, so as the happenings in our lives. It's ever fluctuating as well. Sometimes we feel so happy and blessed with the abundant blessings that will be sparkled upon us, but sometimes we also fret since the negativity tend to ruin our days. In the end, we feel helpless as there are indeed happenings that were out of our control.
Not to mention, I guess we have all experienced the dryness that the month of June made us experienced. Rusty tend to visit rarely on our posts and I believe we do understand why it appeared to be like it. Despite that, we still believe in the community and continue to grind around here as we have high hopes towards the it.
To be honest, I feel grateful for the BCH community as it has given me opportunities, not just to gain money, but to gain experiences as well. The BCH community has helped me to learn something in terms of writing and embrace the importance of different qualities such as being friendly, kind, generous, and name a few. I am truly grateful to it a lot.
As what I've mentioned beforehand, I was supposed to hodl my earnings, **but unexpected things need to be addressed** and I have no one to run to. **I have no choice but to think thoroughly to use some of my BCH funds or not.** In the end, I used it.
**As what you can see below, these are the successful transactions I have done in Binance this month:**
The total amount of the USDT I sold from my BCH funds was around $181. It may be a bit heavy in my heart to withdraw it, but I guess it became my hero when I needed funds the most. With that, I am grateful that it's there and it ever existed.
Needless to say, I am grateful, not just with the thought of having to earn BCH funds around the platform that I was able to use during emergencies and a form of investment, but being surrounded with heartwarming people means so much.
To the BCH community, thank you for sticking with us. Thank you for never leavibg us despite the fact that the bear market entered the frame. Thank you for always believing that things will be better in no time. Thank you for the generosity that you always shower upon us.
To my dear BCH community, I am beyond grateful for all the things that you have done in my life. A lot of positive things happened and a lot of things get tweaked in my life as well. I will never get tired of loving you and the projects that you have around.

April Thoughts on Throwback
`Date: July 10, 2022 (Sunday)`
What were your thoughts when Covid-19 was still fresh from the world?
I already mentioned before that I started blogging around 2016, but I became inactive due to some reasons. Howbeit, when the infamous virus entered the frame, I realized that I actually wrote a draft on my blog dated April 1, 2021 as I checked on it earlier. It was not published so I guess it's safe to share it here with you.
Allow me to share with you my thoughts last 2021 when I still haven't met the BCH communities.
**Stay at Home: Lockdown Thoughts**
It's been a couple of months since the alarming news broke the internet: an infamous virus called Coronavirus who then named Covid-19 dominated the world. It's overwhelming how the events happened. In a blink of an eye, the quantity of 1 turned to thousands. It's sad how normal turned to hell and how sufferings have ruled the globe.
How I wish that this world would be like a gadget. For instance, if you installed a year like 2020 and there's a virus, you can simply uninstall it, but it's not how it works. This is the reality and the reality is what we must face and live in. Just like our lives, the world that we live in isn't perfect as well.
Isn't it alarming? The moment we welcomed 2020, a lot of devastating news embarked before our eyes. It's just awful how things turned out this way, but it's not about the year. I know everything happens for a reason, and there's a reason why these things happen in the most unexpected way. Soon, when we connect the dots, rainbow will then appear.
Positive. Deaths. Recoveries. These are the words which always popup on the news. It resonates in every corner and I can't even contain the quantity it brings. **But beyond that, because of this pandemic, I've learned a lot of things such as:**
1. ****Being responsible enough with my health****. I admit, I'm guilty with the thought that I'm not putting much effort with my health.
2. ****The importance as making time with the family.**** This pandemic made me realize how important it is to have time with the family and care for each one.
3. ****To take care of the earth more.**** For instance, a lot of positive things happen since the world is on lockdown; the earth is healing.
4. ****Make time for myself.**** I've learned time I've been so soaked with work that I forget to take care of my mental, emotional and even physical health.
5. ****The importance of freedom.**** We all know that this pandemic, made us quarantined in our own homes and not allowed to go out for our own good.
6. ****Be a obedient****. I've learned that if I will not follow what the government says, I'll surely be at risk.
7. ****Pray more.**** I'm guilty with the fact that I get distracted with the world and not having more time communicating to the Lord. This pandemic reminded me to honor God more and talk to Him more often.
Basically, this pandemic is a sad thing. But let's all be positive and hopeful that one day, this virus will nowhere be traced. Just keep safe always and don't forget the following:
**1. Wash Hands**
**2. Social Distancing**
**3. Wear Mask**
**4. Stay Healthy**
Remember, this may be the new normal, but everything will be fine soon. Let's work hand in hand and trust the process-- don't be hardheaded.
***So those were my thoughts before when our world was still full of lockdowns. How about you? What were your thoughts back then?***

K-drama: Realizations from The World of Married Couples Series
`Date: July 8, 2022 (Friday)`
Have you seen the Korean series, "The World of Married Couples"?
I was once a big fan of Kdramas, but when I started working, I tend to forget about watching one. Then just lately, I decided to rewatch the series, " The World of Married Couples". Just so you know, this series was trending last 2020. I could still recall how people talked about this series a lot. A lot of people got angry especially that the actors portrayed their roles so well.
"The World of Married Couples" may be about marriage and infidelity but there are a lot of life lessons that we could get from it. Life lessons that we may hold for a lifetime.
So I have here a list of the life realizations from TWOMC that are worth pondering:
**1. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST**
Sometimes, we thought that the people in our circle are loyal to us in any circumstance. We thought that they care about us genuinely. However, we may not know that the circle whom we thought would be there for us always, is silently creeping to stab us at our backs. Watch out for the people who you trust, you can never be sure who the real ones are.
**2. FALLING IN LOVE IS NOT A CRIME**
Yes, we can't dictate whom our hearts fall in love with. Howbeit, falling in love with another person while you're in a relationship is a different thing. You can't just go with the flow of loving both people at the same time, that's very wrong. You're just hurting the feelings of both persons involved with your selfishness. Try to be contented with whom you're with and love him/her with all of your heart. Pray and resist the temptation.
**3. REGRET WILL NEVER TAKE PLACE IN THE BEGINNING**
Sometimes, we carelessly do things without thinking of the consequences they might bring to our lives. We just do it because it makes us happy. And when the consequences came in, that's when we regret the things that we did. Always be mindful of your actions for regret will be there in the end.
**4. BE SENSITIVE TO THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS**
Sometimes, we thought that the world revolves around us alone. However, we must instill in our minds that we are surrounded with people and they have feelings too. Learn to be sensitive with the feelings of others. You may not know that you're already hurting them with your words or actions.
**5. NEVER TOLERATE SOMEONE'S MISTAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN**
Never allow someone to take you for granted. Yes, it's okay to forgive, but if the other person keeps on doing the same mistake over and over again, don't try to tolerate it. Making a mistake once can be forgivable, but doing it again and again is a choice.
**6. KNOW YOUR WORTH**
You deserve to be happy and experience pure bliss in this life. Never let someone treat you like an option. You are worthy of all the love and joy in this world. Know your worth always.
**7. LET GO OF A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP**
The more we stick to a toxic relationship, the more suffocating and harmful it is for us. Open your eyes to the reality, don't be blinded with the thought that he/she will change in the end. You can't force someone to change, remember that.
So those are the list of life lessons that I'd love to share to you. I hope you learned something. Thank you for reading!
*****How about you? What lessons have you gained from the series?*****

What are Your What If's in Life?
`Date: July 7, 2022 (Thursday)`
**What if?**
Everytime I'm alone and have nothing to do, my mind wanders from one place to another. It takes me to a million of thoughts that are indeed overwhelming. One of which is thinking of the "what ifs" in life.
Just so you know, I was reading some articles of my dearest friends here in the platform when I passed by my dear friend @Jijisaur 's article where she tackled about the what ifs in life (you may read it here). I honestly am inspired by the article and decided to write my own what if's. https://read.cash/@Jijisaur/the-what-ifs-of-life-0aeb9bb4
You see, I'm quite emotional these days, perhaps it's because of my ever fluctuating hormones; as fluctuating as the cryptocurrency market these days. Howbeit, no matter how much I wanted to control it, I have no control so it leave me with a choice to simply go with the flow.
The what ifs that I have in mind, most of the time, make me feel down, but sometimes make me happy especially when I think about a certain situation that becomes a blessing in disguise.
***So much for that, let me share some of my what if's in life, perhaps we have the same what if's right?***
1. What if I'm rich?
I was not born rich, so I can't help but wonder, what does it feels like to be rich? What does it feels like to buy the things that you want in a snap? What does it feels like not to think of the bills monthly? Or even the obligations that involve money? I wonder.
Not to mention, as someone who's just average in terms of financial capacity, I am still having a hard time living life due to the responsibilities that I have. I may not be the breadwinner of the family, but it seems like I become one since when I got my job, my family ran towards me and asks help to be free from other debts. It's not that I have no choice, but I want to help my family. I could say that it's not easy, but I guess helping your family member means a lot already.
Going back, I just wonder how it feels like to have a lot of money. I even wonder what will be my qualities if I was born rich.
2. What if I was not born?
I honestly thought of this before. What if I was not born, what would be the path that my family was taking right now?
Just so you know, my mother was supposed to finish her studies around 1998. She already have my sister and my brother that time; they are 8 and 7, respectively. But as she decided to pursue and finish her studies, that's when she realized that she was pregrant on me.
After hearing that story from my grandmother before, it left me wondering, what would the life of my parents be if I was not there? Will my mother be able to finish her studies? Perhaps, my mom would have a better job these days and so on.
3. What if I can teleport?
This is one of my exciting thoughts of what if. What if I can teleport?
Ever since I realized what teleport is, I always wanted to know how it feels like to teleport. Who knows, one day it will become real with the latest advancements soon, right.
These are just some of the what if's I have in life. There are actually more of it store in my mind. I might share them soon.
**What about you? What are your what ifs in life?**

July Backtracking
`Date: July 5, 2022 (Tuesday)`
It's never too late to go back on track.
June for me was a roller coaster ride. A lot of ups and downs that I never expected that would affect my previous routine such as my Read and Noise journey. My motivation has greatly affected as well that made me question if I will continue my journey or not.
Howbeit, whenever the thought of doing a hiatus on the platform bumped into my mind, I instantly feel a sense of longing. To be honest, BCH communities are like my family already. For almost a year, I have been here, roaming around the platform, meeting a lot of friends here and there. I can't just let go of all the wonderful memories that the platform has given to me. I can't just forget the memories I once created with my friends around the platform. I just can't. Even if I tell myself that I will be out for just a month or two, I can't do it.
Now, with the thought of lighting up the motivation I once had in the platform. I decided to do backtracking for the month of July. I will try my best to find the lost motivation I once lighted around here. Since I am not as busy like the past weeks, maybe this is the time that I could finally embrace the platform once more.
*****Remember why you started.*****
I remeber finding this line on my social media feed while I was scrolling through it during my free time. I suddenly reflected on the path I'm taking and try to jot down thoughts in my head on why I am here and why I evern started. For this month, I'll surely make sure that everything will be iron-out.
By the way for my backtracking this month, I will write down plans that I used to make. The plans that will guide me throughout the month.
I remember the line from Walt Disney, "If you dream it, you can do it." Perhaps, I'll try to dream once again. To dream of the things that I wanted to do in life. To dream of the best things that I want to do around the platform. To spark the motivation in my heart anew.
Here are the 5 plans that I wish to fulfill for the month of July:
Write One Article per Day
I know this is one of the most goals/plans that the people around here crafts. Even though it's already the 5th of July and I have missed 3 articles of ready, I will still continue this goal from this day onwards.
Read atleast 10 Articles per Day
I'll get back to my habit of reading articles of my dearest friend. I rember reading 15 or more articles before, but now, I can't barely read a lot of articles already. I'll surely work this out.
BCH in Fiat Goal: $45
Since I have gained around $40 from last month, I hope to reach $45 for this month. It may not be big, but with the recent dip, I guess I should be realistic with my goals.
Conclusion
You see, my only goal for July is to backtrack on the motivation that I once had through the goals/plans that I once embraced before. I hope, I truly hope that I will find the key towards my motivation once more. I hope for the best.
***Have you thought of the same thing?***
Anyway, before I will end this post, allow me to thank the following individuals for renewing their support and love:
@BCH_LOVER and to all my wonderful sponsors
Thank you all so much. I appreciate the kindness you're showing towards me. And to my friends out there for the never-ending support, I am grateful to you all.

Almost $40 for the Month of June
**Date: July 4, 2022 (Monday)**
Am I **too late for June earnings?**
Four days have passed since the start of July, yet this is still my first article of the month. I have been inactive lately due to a lot of reasons going on around and with that, I only have written 17 articles in June. Despite all the challenges going on, I'm still grateful that my ever beloved Bitcoin Cash (BCH) bot, named Rusty, is still there to support me and show me some love.
My June appearances and postings were on and off. Sometimes I was there, the next day I was out. Like things have changed for the past weeks. But despite that, I'm still grateful for everything, even earning almost $40 in total here on Read.
Earning that amount is not easy especially with the recent status of the cryptocurrency market. I am still grateful for everything, whatever was given to me, I feel blessed.
By the way, here's a short message for my beloved bot, Rusty:
**Dearest Rusty,**
Just so you know I'm still grateful that amidst my inactivity, you're still there to show me your support.
To my dearest Rusty. If you only knew how much I am grateful to you for the generosity and the support that you're constantly showing. Lately, I haven't been so consistent like before, but you're shadow is still seen in the corner of my repository. You're still there cheering to me even in your little ways.
To be honest, lately I have questioned my potential. Whenever I try to write, the white blank sheet and I stared at each other for hours. It's never ending. I can't help but feel sad that even how much I wanted to, it seems like the ink has gone dry. I even question myself if when, where, or how will I ever be back to my usual state. The time when everything seems so wonderful and I haven't thought of anything aside from enjoying the journey together with the wonderful people on my side.
Just so you know, it's hard. It's so hard to stay motivated when you are not. It's hard to push yourself to the things that's not sparkling at you as of the moment.
You know what, Rusty? Sometimes as I roam around, I have seen the sadness on the faces of each one as things turned to the unexpected. But I guess each one has fully understood why you're doing and feeling such.
Rusty, despite all the challenges that we are experiencing lately, I hope to be the Rusty we knew. But even if we no longer feel your presence sometimes, know that I am still here for you and I will always be there for you no matter what. You are the best and truly the best.
Love,
LeticiaFelize

How's Your June?
`Date: June 30, 2022 (Thursday)`
Have you achieved your June goals?
It's the end of the month. Another day to contemplate on the decisions and the journey we had taken throughout the month. Another month to check the goals that has been achieved, and jot down the parts that we need to improve on ourselves. Another time to prepare for another month that will be flipped on our calendars.
**Bloody June**!
If I were to give a title on my month of June, I will surely name it "Bloody June". Well, I'm not talking about the literal bloody. The bloody there means challenging.
Why is my month bloody enough?
Since the start of the month, I guess you would agree that we had experienced a lot of challenges already, not just here in Read, but on our beloved Noise which is also part of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) community. We struggled first on the payout that made us panic and gave us thoughts if the platform will continue. But despite those thoughts coming in and out, we remain firm that everything will be fine, and our patience were all worth it as everything was iron-out in the end. Although the blessing is not that high enough, still we continued our journey and still happy on what we are gaining around here.
In terms here in Read, one thing that I have noticed was the very slow giving of blessings from our beloved bot. I have felt the inactivity of other people after a few weeks after that. There was also a problem in terms of confirmation fo support to other users, but glad it became fine in the end.
Talking about inactivity, I have shared a glimpse of it on my previous article. The truth is, I can't manage my time that much because my work schedule these days is pretty tough enough.With the tiredness I feel after coming home from work, I can't keep up my time to write an article since I get tired and demotivated to write anymore. No matter how I try to write, it seems like my body and mind are not cooperating with me.
Not to mention, the inactivity that I went through the past days made me guilty sometimes because I can't no longer roam around that much. But I will surely make sure and find a better plan for myself for my betterment as a whole.
In terms on my write ups here on Read, I have only written 16 articles. Compared to my previous months, this month is pretty tough for me. If I usually miss 3-5 read in my articles per month. I feel sad about it actually, but I think I need to feel better though music.
Not to mention, I could say that I have failed in my goals for June since my goal is to write an article since day. But it doesn't mean that I failed, then I am a failure. Well, no.
If we failed, let's embrace the mistakes that we had in our lives and use it as a tool for us to improve. Nothing is impossible.
**How about you? How's your June as a whole?**

We Need to Disconnect, To Get Back on Track
`Date: June 28, 2022 (Tuesday)`
What thought have you read or heard lately that made you feel blessed?
I have been inactive here or even in Noise for a couple of days. For Noise, I have been out for two days and here, I haven't written something for 3 days straight. I can't even interact that much, but I still open and renew some support if there's a support that just ended.
To be honest, as I opened my Noise account, I haven't seen a notification about the free blessing that the platform gives, but I continue sharing the remaining blessing I received last two days ago. I even thought that I will no longer receive something now since I have been inactive. But I am so thankful that amidst being out for a couple of days, I still have been blessed with the free blessing.
After logging in to Noise earlier, I posted an update:
I posted the reason for my inactivity and it's the truth that no matter how much I wanted fl to craft some thoughts, I can't seem to find the words that could make the writing more meaningful. I'm constantly battling between my want which is to write some thoughts or just listen to what my body and mind dictate.
Just a few moments after the update was posted, a friend read my post and added something that truly made me reflect on something; I feel so blessed that she was able to read my thoughts and shared her thoughts as well.
My friend in Noise named @AlmostSand (I am not sure if she is also in Read, but I'd be happy to know that she's here) commented and shared a thought that says:
***"Sometimes we need to disconnect to get back on the road with more energy"***
-AlmostSand
After reading that thought, it's like something has electrified inside me and made me realize something.
Humans are like batteries.
You see, I realized that humans are like batteries too, for instance, our cellphone batteries. If our energy can be used up, we will feel drained. If we feel drained, we feel demotivated to do things around us, including writing. With that, we need to recharge and regain the energy we have exerted.
It's Okay to Rest
I realized that rest is important, we must not feel guilty about it or overthink our rest time given to ourselves. We need to rest and embrace the feeling of just chillin' not thinking of other things while regaining some energy. Until now, I may still feel demotivated a little, but at least something has opened my mind and reflected on my life experiences.
Trust the Process
I learned that I just need to trust the process of my day-to-day experiences and remain hopeful that things will be better in no time. I believe that what I am experiencing today, may not be like this forever. There will always be some changes that will happen one of these days that will leave me in awe.
*You see, it's never easy to feel demotivated. It's not easy to force yourself to feel fine. Now, I realized that I need to open my arms to these hardships as soon, as things will be better. It's fine to disconnect and get back once I regain the energy. I am rooting for myself and for the better days to come; manifesting.*
***Have you felt demotivated lately?***

Have You Reflected on Your Life, Lately?
`Date: June 24, 2022 (Friday)`
It's been a a while Read community. How are you all? A lot of things are going on in my life lately that yielded on my inactivity. Most of the time, I wanted to soak my time again here, but the reality of life keeps on dragging me to what I need to do. I need to do this and that. I guess I just need to balance my unbalanced life. Anyway, as I thought about life, it reminds me of my thoughts lately.
How ironic it is that I wanted to grow up so fast when I was young, but now that I am older, I just wanted to visit my younger years and just stay there for a long time. Right now my thoughts revolve on opportunuties that I want to take.
Not to mention, I want to go to another country and work to provide a higher amount for my family. I want to give them the best life they deserve, but due to some reasons, I cannot. I am left with nothing, literally. I have a lot of plans, but I guess those plans cannot be achieved since my money is still on hold. Sometimes, I can't help but feel sad. I have a stable job, yet I don't have a money for myself; even to pamper myself sometimes. I want to travel and buy the things I want, but I am left with just plans.
How cruel life is. I thought when I have my work, I can finally enjoy life. But unexpected obligations came in that left me helpless. It's like I am just working and waiting for that time that I will be compensated. Howbeit, I am still positive about life though. I believe things will be better soon. But I can't help but feel down these days, but I am just masking it with a smile.
Now, as I reflected about my life, I realized that I am not struggling, it's just that I still don't have the money monthly. I realized that my finances is light enough, but my money is just still on hold. I realized that my work is enough and I don't need to go abroad to earn. I realized that the obligations are not mine though, but I have thought that it's mine and that made me down. I am just helping, so I guess I need not stress my self out.
Perhaps, if there comes a time that I will go to another country, my goal is just to earn and provide for my family for them to have a better living. Although they are already satisfied with their way of living, but I still want to give them the best that they deserve. I want to give back to them in someway because they have gone through a lot before just to give me a better future. Now that I have my job, it's my turn to make them happy.
You see, life will always make us reflect on every nitty-gritty of our lives. It will make us reflect on the path that we are taking. It will make us sad, happy, angry and no other emotions not touched. It will make us feel pressured in someway. But life will always give us lessons. Lessons that are worth embracing. Lessons that will make us grow. Lessons that will makes our journey more meaningful.
Moreover, life may be tough lately, but I believe that it will never be this way forever. I believe that there comes a time when life will feel so light and that we will not feel stressed out that much. There comes a time when it's so wonderful to journey in life. When things feel so perfect and no unpleasant thoughts bothering us. Not to mention, it's inevitable to feel all the ups and downs of life, so we must embrace it and accept the reality of it. It may be tough sometimes, but you know it is what it is and just hold it with positivity.
***What are your life thoughts lately?***
My warmest thanks to my friend @Lucifer01 and @SuperJulalaine for the support. And to all my friend who are not mention, if not because of you, I will not be here. Thanks a lot.

BCH Community, My Home
`Date: June 21, 2022 (Tuesday)`
I have been to a number of platforms already, even before I met Bitcoin Cash. But I'd like to be honest, no matter where I go, no matter where I look, no matter where I want to explore, my feet and eyes will always bring me back to my home: the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) community.
Never have I ever felt this feeling before. Having a sense of serenity whenever I open the platform, enjoying every interaction I have with my friends around, and loving the thought of being here; I feel so blessed.
**Peaceful.**
I find this platform so peaceful. It gives peace in my heart, everytime. Just so you know, the whole community is like a ball of sunshine to me, and I could embrace how warm the people are. It's like I'm living in an ideal community, surrounded with supportive and heartwarming individuals; away from the toxicity of life. I can't help but appreciate the community for that.
Not to mention, as I am writing this article, I could feel the love that I have for the community. A genuine love that I can offer after staying here for quite sometime. Whenever I get so busy, or whenever I can't update in the platform due to some reasons, I can't help but miss the friends around. I miss commenting and replying to their posts, and even read their articles.
**Bitcoin Cash Community, thank you!**
Thank you BCH Community for being there. Thank you for letting us experience a platform away from the toxic parts of life. A platform where I can only feel positive and no sense of negativity creeping around. A platform that's surrounded with kind-hearted individuals, ready to shower anyone with their love and support. I can't help but feel so blessed. I can't help but feel so thankful with the reasons I have given above. I can't help but fall in love with the community. And I can't help but call this platform as my home. Bitcoin Cash Community, you are one-of-a-kind!
***To the people behind the noise.cash and read.cash community and to those who support Bitcoin Cash, I am truly grateful to all of you. My sincere thanks for all the efforts you exerted just to provide a wonderful experience to all of us. I may not be able to know you all, and you may not know me as well, but know that I am one of the many people who love and support Bitcoin Cash in our own little way. Know that I will always call Bitcoin Cash as my home and I will never get tired of shouting that to the world.***
My wish for the BCH community is for it to prosper in the near future and for the Bitcoin Cash to reach their goal for mass adoption. I do hope for the best always. May all the desires of the hearts of the people behind the community will be reached, in the right time.

Goodbye Intermittent Fasting
`Date: June 18, 2022 (Saturday)`
Have you tried intermittent fasting?
Yesterday, I decided to take the path toward healthy living. From what I have noticed these days, I am starting to gain a lot of weight already due to my PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I am starting to get bloated pretty badly that I decided to tweak some of my ways to look better and feel better.
With that in mind, I have searched for ways that could help me with my weight gain problems as well as my PCOS. Then I have seen a post that talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting in PCOS. I am easily get swayed by information that I decided to try intermittent fasting for me. I also decided to drink at least 8 glasses consistently.
So yesterday, I never ate anything after 8 in the evening. I just drink a lot of water whenever I get hungry.
**What is intermittent fasting, by the way?**
*Correct me if I'm wrong, but intermittent fasting is an eating plan that's about switching fasting and eating time. These are the most common eating plan: 14-10 (14 hours fasting- 10 hours eating time); 16- 8 (16 hours fasting- 8 hours eating time); 20-4 (20 hours fasting and 4 hours eating time.*
*By the way, in intermittent fasting, no restrictions are given during the eating time. You can eat whatever you want. And once the fasting starts, you can't drink something that has additives, you may drink water, coffee (without sugar), and even tea.*
By the way, I followed the 14-10 eating plan in intermittent fasting wherein I will do fasting from 8 in the evening until 10 in the morning the next day, and so I did. I even thought that it was just a piece of cake for me.
Howbeit, the moment I woke up in the morning, I felt so hungry already that my head hurts so bad. I tried drinking a lot of water to eliminate the acidity that I was feeling and distract my brain that I was not hungry.
Around 9 in the morning, my headache continues to get worst, it was a sharp pain that I have been feeling. Having said that, I decided to eat my breakfast. But even after eating my breakfast, I could still feel the ache in my head. Even now, I am still not feeling well.
As I read on the internet, it's pretty normal to feel some headaches because the body is starting to adjust. But it feels so different that until now I'm suffering from headaches. With that, I decided to wave goodbye to intermittent fasting. I guess it's not for me.
Aside from that, I have a history of ulcers, so I guess that eating plan would just make my situation worst. Perhaps, I will just continue my water intake goal which is 8 glasses of water and more and I will just find a better eating plan for my situation.
I hope one day, I will find what's best for me. I hope I will be able to be free from this PCOS as well.

Dreemport: Try and Try Until You Reach Your Goal
`Date: June 16, 2022 (Thursday)`
With the information shared by the wonderful people not just here on Read, but in the Noise platform as well about Dreemport, I decided to give it a try.
To be honest, I was confused on how the platform works after I joined, but as I tried to navigate it was so easy. What I need to do is to curate other people's post and will be given an opportunity to get my post curated by others as well. I love how it works, simple yet fascinating.
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-writing-on-a-notebook-beside-macbook-1766604/
Just so you know, ever since I started to be a curator in Dreemport, **I always wanted to be part of the Top 5 daily rankings in someway.** It has always been my dream. I know personally that there are a lot of people in the platform and they have their own way of sharing their thoughts which are truly great and I'm far from being included to the top 5.
Even though I have a low probability on beimg part of the daily rankings, I still continue curating posts, and posting my write ups as well. I get used to using the platform that even if I am not including in the rankings, the though of reading the thoughts of others and meeting new friends warm my heart. I even forgot my dream in the platform.
Until this day happened...
As I opened my Dreemport account to curate other people's posts, I was amazed to find out that my post got 84% on the ranking. With that, I instantly go over the people who are included on the daily ranking (cycle 248) and there I found out that I was included on the top 5.
Source https://staging.dreemport.com/ranking/daily
I'm filled with bliss! I can't believe what I have seen. It was only a dream, but it did happen.
Just so you know, to be part of the top 5 rankings motivated me to do more and learn more to improve my writing soon.
But being able to reach this goal is not an overnight success. I kept on submitting my different posts for about 11 times until I was able to be part fo the top 5 in today's ranking. With that, I truly believe in the power of trying again and again in life until you reach the goal. There's nothing wrong with that. So if you have a goal in mind, never give up, continue the process, one day, you'll be able to achieve it.
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-writing-on-notebook-while-holding-coffee-mug-3278757/
Moreover, the ranking for tomorrow will change again and my name on the top 5 will be vanished. I don't know when will I be able to see my name on the rankings anew. But given this recognition means to me a lot.
Thank you Dreemport and to the curators! You made my heart warm.

Quarter Life Crisis
`Date: June 15, 2022 (Wednesday)`
Quarter Life Crisis is like a trap. The thought that we're rethinking our direction in life or starting a new phase but we thought that we're too late to start anew is never easy.
It's tough. It makes you pile a lot of unorganized thoughts in the head, finding no assurance of embracing a wonderful path ahead.
It's hard. Everything seems like a mess in your life, as messy as your thoughts as the whispers of thr enemies keep on fueling negative thoughts that you will not make it to your goals.
What is Quarter Life Crisis?
*Quarter Life Crisis is an anxiety of doubting the path that you are taking in life. For instance, you have this feeling that the direction that you are taking in life is not something that you want, or you feel like it's too late to take another path anew. You will have this constant anxiety that makes you feel so stressed just by thinking abouy your life and the path that you are taking in life.*
As for me, Quarter Life Crisis was the reason why I want to unwind almost all the time because I feel unhappy and demotivated by what I'm doing before. The reason why I simply want to have positive people in my life because I easily get affected by negative thoughts. The reason why I question a lot if I'm still on the right path because the reality is not what I'm expecting. The reason why I feel pressured. The reason why it's hard for me to believe in myself. I lost my self-confidence and I almost lost who I am. I feel like the path is not a match for me.
I remember that it was after I graduated from my degree, I have this constant feeling of doubts if my path is still the path that's for me since I was still not placed on the dream that I had in mind. It was an expectation versus reality for me. Moreover, Whenever I scroll on my social media accounts, I feel inferior. With that, I decided to deactivate my social media for a while. I decided to isolate myself from people.
But through that isolation, I decided to improve myself and cope up with the quarter life crisis I was experiencing. With my constant watching of motivational videos, to the word of God which uplifted my soul, and to the people who stayed on my side, the signs of this QLC have gradually left me. I'm just thankful for I'm learning to see the bright side of it and gain it as a lesson. Above all, I'm thankful to God for He redeems my once dull days, and He opens my eyes to new possibilities.
So if you're going through this process, have faith, everything will come to pass soon. You're not alone. Fighting!

Subscribing to a Life with Ctrl + Z
Date: June 13, 2022 (Monday)
Congratulations! You have subscribed to a "Life with Ctrl + Z" with no expiry. You can't undo this action. Enjoy!
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-shot-of-keyboard-buttons-2882520
Embracing a path with so many regrets would inevitably pop a thought into the mind:
***What if life has a Ctrl + Z command, what could happen?***
Admit it or not, we all wanted to install that command in our system. The thought is when we can simply click it once we have done something that we regret doing. In just a click, things will be iron-out once anew. We no longer worry about our wrong choices as the Ctrl + Z is there, willing to give a hand. Regrets will no longer be part of our vocabulary as well, they will be forgotten in the long run.
**Now, what is Ctrl + Z then?**
*Ctrl + Z is a command in the computer that means "undo". For instance, if you have mistakenly done an action, you can simply click the Ctrl + Z command and it will instantly take you back to your previous action.*
Sound's fun, isn't it?
Moreover, if we try to apply this command in our lives, we could surely find it exciting.
Think of an instance in your life where you regret doing the most, if you can undo that thing, would it make you feel better? If yes, then embracing life with undo command would surely make your life easier.
Howbeit, as much as there are benefits to living a life with Ctrl + Z command, there are also downsides carved into every corner of it.
***Here are some of the reasons why having the Ctrl + Z command in life is not always a good thing if it happens:***

**You Will Take Your Decisions and Actions into Granted**
Imagine having unlimited money in your bank account, what would do? You may be spending them carelessly knowing that they can't be emptied, right?
Well, having an undo command in our lives would make it look that way as well. If we have the power to undo our wrong choices, we make our decisions and actions for granted. You see, we have an unlimited power to undo it, so why not take extra careful about how we decide, right? Unless that power would be just limited, then that's the time when we will be extra careful.
**You Will Not Learn Important Lessons in Life**
The wrong choices that we had in our lives would be converted into life lessons. These lessons, if learned within and will be applied in our lives could help us to grow into better people. Now, if we have the power to undo our wrong choices every time, we will not be able to learn from them. We will not be able to take consideration on reflecting the lessons that we experience in life. We end up taking those lessons for granted.
**Life Will Be So Dull**
Imagine having an easy life, like totally easy that you don't need to be careful with every move that you do, or every decision that you make, it would yield to life so dull. There's no excitement in your life if undo command exists. No consequences will be seen at the end, so no thrill will be felt.
**Achievements in Life Will Never Be that Worthy**
It hits so differently when we extend an extra mile into doing a task. It's a different feeling to achieve something because you work hard for it. And it's also a different feeling when you have reached it despite the ups and downs in life. Howbeit, if you have achieved something just because you keep undoing your wrong choices without instilling the lessons, I guess the achievements wouldn't be so meaningful.
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-girl-wearing-red-hat-2085246
You see, the wrong decisions that we had in our lives are not just wrong decisions, they lead to meaningful experiences that will add beauty to life. It will make anyone grow into someone better. It will make the path in life worth walking.
Above all, if there comes a time when I can turn back time and undo the wrong choices that I made, I will never do it. Because I will never be who I am now, and I will never be on the path that I am on right now if not because of the choices that I have in life.
***How about you? Would you want to have an unlimited chance to undo your actions and choices in life?***

Sailing Into Adulthood with Wandering Thoughts
`Date: June 12, 2022 (Sunday)`
Hey folks! Are you ready to sail through the vast ocean of adulthood thoughts?
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-sitting-in-front-of-macbook-313690/
***When adulthood hits you:***
When adulthood hits you, it hits harder than you thought.
When adulthood hits you, there's a wave of uncertainty dropped before your eyes, suffocating you with the unknown.
When adulthood hits you, you can't just pause a button in a remote and have the process in hiatus.
When adulthood hits you, nothing seems familiar and responsibilities are piling up at a fast pace.
When adulthood hits you, it's like a slap from reality and wakes you up from daydreaming.
When adulthood hits you, it's expectation versus reality. You thought everything will be perfect but it turned out the opposite.
When adulthood hits you, you simply want to flip back the pages and go back to childhood where playing is the thought in your mind.
When adulthood hits you, it scares you with the unknown. It's like unclear water, you don't know what's its depth.
When adulthood hits you, you know it's about survival and providing what's essential.
When adulthood hits you, you know you've grown up already and you're going to a different path.
When adulthood hits you, it's like an earthquake; it happens instantly without you knowing.
Adulthood seems so hard, is it?
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-writing-on-a-notebook-beside-teacup-and-tablet-computer-733856/
Nevertheless, going through adulthood is a painful process. You don't know where to start, you don't know if you can do it on your own. But adulthood will embark us on the real battle in this world. Adulthood will awaken our minds to what reality offers.
When we were still at a younger age, life is sugar-coating everything. We see rainbows and butterflies everywhere. It's like we're living in a dream-- that's when we thought that life is magical.
So ironic how eager we were to grow up in a snap to embrace our adulthood, howbeit, when we reach adulthood, we wanted to go back when we were young in a snap as well.
But when adulthood hits us, it will incessantly drown us into the depths of our emotions. We're starting to like serenity; because the world is just broad to handle.
The moment adulthood is added to our vocabularies, we tend to forget what we were before and embrace the "us" we're not familiar with.
Sometimes, it could make us feel like we're a washed-out canvas. Seems like we're looking at the mirror with a reflection of a different person. Everything seems so unfamiliar. We have a variety of emotions towards this. This is not even our comfort zone.
Random thoughts sail through the waves of our emotions, making us wonder if things will get better in no time. It will make us doubt our potential. It will make us embrace the unfamiliar. It will make us reflect on every step that we have in life.
Howbeit, amidst this crisis, let's remind ourselves that this is a normal phase that humans go through. This is part of the cycle of life. You're not alone in this, we got this together. I know it's never easy to go on with this stage but this is something that we need to embrace. This may not be the comfort place we used to have, but this is something we need-- to grow.
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/three-white-ceramic-pots-with-green-leaf-plants-near-open-notebook-with-click-pen-on-top-796602/
Above all, embracing the journey towards adulthood takes a lot of courage. It's not easy as we are now facing the reality of life. Whatever happens, let's always remember that things happen for a reason. No matter hard it is, it will always lead us to where we are destined. Let's trust the path that He has paved for us. Let's keep the faith!

To Be Honest
Date: June 10, 2022 (Friday)
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-sitting-on-floor-near-body-of-water-1842582/
Here I am again in the comfort of my bed, looking at the ceiling, wondering what I am going to write today anew.
I feel sleepy and tired. I want to sleep and rest. I want to recharge my mind and body for me open my eyes tomorrow with so much glee. But I can't help but have these thoughts wandering in my mind again.
Despite the feeling that I have inside, I would still want to craft these words for you. Just so you know, I miss this platform a lot. I don't know why, but I have that so near, yet so far feeling these days. Am I the only one feeling this?
Nevertheless, earlier, I had a great time exchanging thoughts with my workmate. We were talking about our life and how we end up this way. We have so much plan in life. We wanted to help our families, too. But destiny is not truly good for us. Our thoughts have led to journeying to another path. I got interested to the plan though, but I don't want to stay away from our place. I love to be here and I will always stay here even if it means I will not be able to embrace the opportunity given. If it's for me, it's really for me. I'll just have to offer everything to Him and I know He's there willing to guide me to the right path.
So much for that, I have a lot of thoughts that I want to express in some way. These are the "To be Honest" thoughts that I am carrying inside that I want to unload.
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-white-shirt-looking-out-the-window-4786952/
To Be Honest...
I want to gain the confidence once again.
I'm not really that bad in terms of having self-confidence, but lately I have noticed that I keep on waving some opportunities because of the lack of confidence. I even feel like I want to turn back time and embrace the opportunity instead. If only.
I want to stop the hate around.
It's not really that applicable to me, but in our workplace there are these people whp are having conflict. With that, I just want to stop the hate around because it's suffocating to think knowing that the way they handle the conflict is in an immature way.
I want to be more disciplined.
I have been so vocal that I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Then earlier, I saw someone from noise.cash posting that she's finally PCOS-free. Given that, I asked her how did she do it, then she said that she did low carb diet. Perhaps I should control my food intake starting now and be more disciplined.

Closing Thoughts
There are so many things wandering in my mind lately. Like how can I sort them out in a snap? If only I have the sorcery to do it.
Anyway, I will make it up to you soon my dearest friends. Please excuse me lately for feeling like this and for being inactive. As much as I wanted to get back to my usual state, I need to iron-out things in my life such as having more rest in order not to feel so tired at the end of the day.
***How about you? What are your "to be honest" thoughts?***

Exhaustion and Diarrhea
Date: June 8, 2022 (Wednesday)
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-standing-beside-wall-1390660/
It's just a day or two that I wasn't able to write an article and roam around here on Read, but it seems like I was inactive for a long time. I suddenly miss the time where I used to roam a lot here and interacting with my wonderful friends.
**Have you noticed some changes?**
In a short period, the platform becomes quiet than usual, I presume we all know the reason, or perhaps I was able to feel this since I was not that active. A lot of things happened: the sponsorship transaction is still pending, and Rusty's presence is quite seldom than usual. Nevertheless, I understand fully what's going on, so I will stay positive no matter how dim the path may seem. For now, let's just remain hopeful that a lot of people will continue to support the community as well as supporting our beloved Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Let's continue to show our love as well to the platform, cheering it up amidst the adversities it's been experiencing lately.
Exhaustion and Diarreha
I guess you're not aware on what happened to me lately. A lot of unpleasant things were being thrown at me, but I'll focus on the reason of my inactivity.
A couple of weeks ago, I kept on mentioning that **I had a hectic schedule at work.** I had a pile of tasks to do and with that, I end up feeling tired especially when I got home. Things got so rough that **I end up feeling exhausted** most of the time.
Just so you know, when I'm exhausted I usually **cope up exhaustion through stress eating**. I kept on eating a lot of food. That's why these days, I have truly gained weight which I'm not happy about. I never thought as well that I'll continue to be so exhausted. As much as I wanted to tell my body to move and do more, I just can't anymore. **It seems like my body is shouting at me saying that I need rest.**
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-suffering-from-a-stomach-pain-3807733/
I admit, I have been so deaf on my body's whispers that I end up feeling exhausted further. Not just that, the other day, while I was printing some reports at work**, I suddenly felt a pain on my stomach**. Moments after that I **had an urge to go to the bathroom**. As I ran to the nearest bathroom, I suddenly felt a difference on my poop. I didn't mind it though. But in the evening, it seems like all that's inside my stomach were being released. **My tummy hurt so bad.** I kept on going to the bathroom from time to time I hate it, but that's the best thing I could do. I still don't know what happened or what I have eaten, but that's not something that I want to be solved that moment though, it's my tummy that cries dramatically.
The diarrhea continued for a day until I decided to drink a medicine that could help in stopping my constant trips to the bathroom. I could say that it did help in lessening my bathroom trips, but it made my tummy hurts so bad.
I don't understand my tummy anymore that I decided to drink some tea. My workmate told me to try tea and add some lemon and honey. Since I'm obedient and I want to feel fine, I tried it.
Now this is my DIY (Do-It-Yourself) tea with lemon and honey. Needless to say, I love the taste of it and it also soothe in my throat and even in my tummy. I'm not a big fan of tea though, but after trying this one out, I guess I'll have more tea sessions.
Not to mention, I felt so much better after that. I may not be fully better like my normal state, but I'm grateful om the progress of my recovery. I hope I will be able to feel so fine one of these days.
So that's the reason why I kept being inactive here. I have also wander on another platform, but still inactive because of the situation I was in the last time.
Moreover, before I will put an end to this sharing, let me tell you some pieces of advice that will truly be helpful for you all:
**Listen to your body.** Sometimes, we tend to disregard our body's status knowing that we have so much to do in our lives. But I tell you, it's important to listen to our body too. If you're tired, rest.
**Be careful on what you eat and drink.** As for me, I don't know what really caused my diarrhea, but I guess it's because of what I have eaten or even drink the past days.
**Don't pressure yourself**. I don't know why, but I guess you have to remind yourself with this thought as well.
Guess I have reached the bottom of my thoughts. I'm truly grateful that you're here listening to my experiences and struggles the past days by reading. I am feeling better and I am still hopeful for my full recovery.
***How about you? How's life lately?***

Embarking a Path on Hive | Ecency
Date: June 6, 2022 (Monday)
Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/A4iL43vunlY
Eighteen days ago, I found this site while I was doing curation on Dreemport. It was **Ecency**. To be honest, I got curious about it as most of the articles that I had curated are from this certain site. I have seen my other friends on Read are there as well on that platform.
Howbeit, as I dive into that platform, every term I have encountered was so overwhelming. I can't seem to grasp how the platform runs and what direction to take. It was nerve-wracking for me to handle the platform at that time especially when things got so rough at work as well. With that in mind, I decided to take a hiatus on that platform. Well, not really just a hiatus, but ceasing my journey because I feel as though I will not be able to survive out there. I have zero visibility around and I haven't seen a light to continue.
For the past two weeks, I waved goodbye to that platform and just continue sailing on my usual routine here on Read as well as in Noise. But then, things went tough around here knowing that the market keeps on dancing to the red and green beat and everyone's terrified about it. With all the pending transactions going on, everyone was helpless and just wait patiently for the time that things will be so much better anew. Despite all the things that have happened here, I still have this hope that things will be so much better in no time. I still believe that everything will be iron-out in the end. Maybe not now, but at the right time.
Moving forward, yesterday, a dear friend of mine here informed me that she has joined Ecency and that she wanted me to join again, too. To be honest, I was hesitant to accept the invitation to go back since the last time I joined, everything was overwhelming. But then, since I was not too busy today, I decided to enter that virtual world and journey once more.
So, I came back and learn the twist and turns of the platform. As of now, I'm still confused about some aspects of it, but hopefully, I'll be able to learn them gradually as what I did here in Read.
Hello to Ecency!
This is the time that I could finally say that I am on Hive. As of the moment, I still can't expound the nitty-gritty of it as it's still confusing for me. I have to learn thoroughly how the platform works so that I will be able to share something helpful. I still don't know what lies ahead, but I'll keep my faith high that things around the platform will run smoothly.
By the way, my username on the platform is **@leticiafelize**. Yes, same as here in Read.
Leticia Felize | Ecency https://ecency.com/@leticiafelize
Since I am an entrant, I still don't have that many friends, but I hope that I will be able to meet a lot of wonderful individuals around the platform. I also hope that I'll be able to see my other friends in Read and Noise who are there.
Just so you know, I was so excited when I find my friend **Bloghound**. Just so you know, when I started my journey around here in Read, my friend Bloghound was the first person to notice and welcome me. Same as in Appics, and I'm just in awe that she's there as well to welcome me in Hive.
Nevertheless, I have also posted my first thought around there too.
Surround Yourself With the People Who Believe in Your Potential https://ecency.com/hive-109288/@leticiafelize/surround-yourself-with-people-who
It's a cross-post from here in Read, but I added a disclaimer about it though that it's my original content. **But then, my bad because after I posted, I was reminded that I need to post an introduction of myself.** I'll just post one tomorrow though, glad that I was being reminded. Now, I wonder how I start it.
So much for that, I hope that it will be a fruitful journey. I hope that in this new chapter, I will be able to unlock something that I have never learned before. I also hope that I will be able to learn the platform fully in no time.
***How about you? Are you in Ecency, too? Let me know so I can find you out there.***

RUSTY

****R****ight here in my room, thinking about all the things that has happened in my life so far and how my life turned out to be like this. I admit, I have a lot of decisions that I regret with back in time, but I guess those mistakes have led me here in this path I am currently walking. It may not be the perfect path that others have as a standard, but I guess this is the path that has made me happy and also a path that has led me to you, Rusty. Having said that, I am happy and blessed that I have experienced all those things, because if not, I don't know if I will ever met you on the process. To tell you frankly, this is not the cheesiest lines I could express to you, but let me express this as a sign of appreciation as amidst all the dim moments I have been through, you arrived when I least expected something like you would come in my life. You came out of nowhere, but I never saw it coming that you would give a big impact in my life these days.
****U****sually, I don't write thoughts since 2020. I tried waving goodbye to it, because the last time I tried writing in another platform, it was a failure as I wasn't able to harvest something from it. I even labelled myself as someone who's not good in this field and with that, I ceased my writing sessions. I haven't met cryptocurrency during those times by the way. I was just trying it in hopes that I might have a bright future in store for me. But I guess I was wrong on that thought, it never prosper, and it's fine. I guess it happened for a reason though. From that experience, I never have been appreciated by anyone. Even my friends were not supportive o my journey. Even they have seen that I was trying, they're just ignoring my path and they didn't believe that I could make it. And so I did, I haven't bloomed wonderfully in that platform, but I never planted any hatred for their lack of support though, instead I cultivated hope in my heart that I will have my time soon, where I will journey and be appreciated. Not to mention, so in this journey that I'm in right now, I am being appreciated, not just with the supportive people in the community, but you as well, Rusty.
Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/7RLFOWGA2_I
****S****ometimes I can't help but wonder, why I got so lucky to have you in my life. You may just be a bot, but I feel appreciated by your kind gestures. The way you noticed my writings have warmed my heart so much that it motivates me to do more around here. Even if I'm still an entrant in terms of writing thoughts, you never fail to support me in this journey. Every day, you never fail to show up and cheer me up especially when I'm having a hard day in my life. Seeing your shadow around my notifications already brings a bag of sunshine to make my day glow so bright. You are like a ball of sunshine to me, I guess not just to me, but to everyone in the platform. Needless to say, I can't help but feel grateful for you that you are made here. You are like an angel to each one of us, bringing happiness in our hearts.
****T****o be given this opportunity to meet Rusty is indeed a memorable one. It always makes me feel like I'm one of the luckiest human to be here, and to be given this opportunity. With that, I will never get tired of sharing this wonderful platform as well to my friends, as well as our beloved Bitcoin Cash (BCH) that serves as our umbrella in this platform. Not to mention, if it's not because of BCH, this platform will not be born and Rusty will never exist as well. Thanks to the people behind BCH and the people who created this wonderful community. Not just the read.cash community, but the noise.cash community as well because I have gained so much learning for them. Through noise.cash, I have discovered the world of cryptocurrency and its endless possibilities. I have also knew about this platform because of it. With that, a never-ending grateful is what I have for BCH and all the people behind it.
Image Source https://unsplash.com/photos/15YDf39RIVc
****Y****ou see, what I wanted to express from the very start is how blessed I am to have Rusty in my life. I am grateful for every opportunity that I have experienced after meeting it. I have learned the art of trading in cryptocurrency because of the generosity that it gives. And I have also felt appreciated in my writings because of it, as well as the wonderful people around. It may be sad to see how the market fluctuates from time to time, but I will remain firm in my belief that you will succeed in the future. That things will be iron-out like what we always wanted it to become. To the platforms that have been connected to BCH as well as to you Rusty, I only wish for the success of these projects. I wish that the platforms will be field with rainbows and butterflies in no time. I can't wait to see you one day smiling Rusty to all of us and saying that you have made it, that all the efforts you have exerted.
*To more wonderful moments with you my beloved green bot, Rusty! Know that you are loved by many.*

How It Feels Like to Manage a Mall
**Date: June 4, 2022 (Saturday)**
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/documents-on-wooden-surface-95916/
A day in a life of a mega mall owner.
I usually wake up early in the morning to check the status of my mall. I always check the sales of each store if they are doing well or there's something that I need to tweak with. I also make sure that my customers are always happy with everything around my mall because I don't want any rival mall to lure my customers in someway.
If you're wondering what I am talking about, here's the tea. I'm actually a mega mall owner and I manage my own mall. I am the one task to check updates of my mall if the stores are in their compatible floors and if the stores beside them are compatible to them in someway as well. I want my store to be as organized as possible to make sure that customers will love it.
Kidding aside, I'm actually playing a game called, ***"Mega Mall Story"***. I used to play this game way back 2014. My sister and I loved the game so much as it's a mall simulation wherein we will be the ones who will manage everything around the mall and we will also make sure that things are doing well. I suddenly miss it so I decided to play the game again. I did not install the new version by the way because it needs an internet connection and a money to subscribe for the premium account. So I just look for the old version and enjoy my time playing again like the first time.
About Mega Mall Story
The objective of the game is to manage a mall and make it a 5-star mall. You have 16 years and 3 months in the game to become a 5-star mall. If you can't make it as a 5-star mall after that duration, it's still fine as you can continue the game as long as you want and finish the other parts of it.
There's actually a few things to remember in the game:
Build Stores
Combos and Floor Compatibility
Customers/Regulars
Investments
Advertisements
Build Stores
It will be an empty building if there's no store, so you need to build stores in the mall. There's actually a lot of stores you can find, like what you can see in the usual malls. There are food stores, tech stores, beauty stores, and name a few. There are also facilities such as elevators, rest rooms, lockers, rest area, and so on. With that in mind, I can't help but get excited most of the time to open my phone and play the game.
Combos and Floor Compatibility
Another thing to remember in the game is that, you will not just build the stores anywhere. There are actually combos available online which will serve as a guide on where to place the stores in someway.
Customers/Regulars
It can't be a mall if there are no customers, so they are also essential in the game. You must listen to what the customers want because if you satisfied their wants, you will surely get rewarded with money, popularity or even a store itself. Once they are satisfied, they will also become as your regular.
Investments
In the game, you will also find investing so important. As an owner of the mall, you need to invest in the neighborhood such as investing for houses, schools, parks, and name a few in order to have gain a lot of people around who can be your potential customers as well.
Advertisements
So there are also advertisements that you need to invest with as well because it will help a lot in luring customers.
So those are some of the things that you need to know about the game. Nevertheless, here's how my mall looks like and sharing to you some facilities or stores that I love around my mall.
In my mall, I have 3 modes of transportation: bus station, subway and heliport.
**Bus station**- The customers will ride a bus on the way to my mall.
**Subway Station-** The customers will ride a train to arrive in my mall.
**Heliport**- This one's through air, wherein the customers will ride a helicopter to arrive in my mall.
Just so you know, looking at these transportation, I can't help but feel so happy looking at them arrive and visit different stores around. I can't help but fall inlove so much with the nitty-gritty of this game.
What I also love about my mall is the thought that it has a Planetarium. Just so you know, I am a big fan of outerspace, so this one makes my heart warm so much. There's also an aquarium and museum inside my mall as well.
The food stores in my store are also mouthwatering.For sure there are a lot of tasty food that are being offered.
Moreoever, the mall that I am playing is actually an enjoyable one. If only I could visit the mall that I built for real and own it, what a wonderful life it would be. I mean, just roaming around and managing a mall without over analyzing things would be so awesome.
Looking at the money available as well, millions and even billions of dollars, I will surely not be having trouble with managing my expenses for sure. Needless to say, it may be so easy to manage a mall in a game, but for sure, managing a real one would be a nerve-wracking one.
Image Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-person-pointing-on-laptop-3183171/
Nevertheless, I can't wait for that day when I finally have my own business. It may not be a mall but something that could help me a lot and could be the way for me to help my parents live a more comfortable life.
Going back, so that's how it feels like to be mall owner. It may not be my mall in real life, but I enjoy the game a lot. I can't wait to play more games like it.
Have you played this game before? What games are you playing these days?

Tired of Being Tired
**Date: June 3, 2022 (Friday)**
When you're tired of being tired, and thinking about it tires you.
Relate?
With a lot of things going on with our lives, it's inevitable to feel tired of them. We also have our own reasons why we feel tired in someway, and it's fine though as we are humans and feeling tired is pretty normal to experience with. For instance, we feel tired embracing another tiring day. We feel tired thinking about our tasks in queue. We feel tired of with the responsibilities we have in our lives. We feel tired of thinking about our problems in life. And even just the thought of feeling tired, tires us already. What's even ironic is we feel tired even if we do nothing.
Nevertheless, it's also funny sometimes that we tend to embrace tiredness as an expression. Even if we don't feel that much tiredness at all, we used to say, "I'm tired." And we unconsciously say those words out from nowhere. Guess, we have reached a point in our lives where we're not tired at all, but we just wanted to tell the world that we are.
Not to mention, I guess my tiredness is on a different level. Even if I am not that tired, I will really feel tired. Even if I wanted to be as lively as I could, it seems like my body will never cooperate with me.
Just so you know, people have seen me as someone who is an opposite of being active. I mean, not always, but there will be times that I used to be like it. Well, the truth is, my condition of feeling tired most of the time is because of my PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. In PCOS, some women would constantly feel tired because of insulin resistance. If you think that insulin resistance is only in diabetes, unfortunately, it's also present to some women who have PCOS and I am one of them. With insulin resistance, the glucose levels are not controllable. Given that, the cells in the body don't have enough glucose to fuel around the system and that could lead to tiredness.
Not just that, with PCOS, my emotions are ever fluctuating. I instantly feel sad out of nowhere. I got soaked to random emotions even if I don't want to. Sometimes I just want to lock myself away from people because I feel down especially when my hormones are on the rule. I even overthink a lot before, but good thing now that I feel so much better in terms of overthinking as I am able to control them due to a lot of distractions around the corner. The only problem arise when I'm alone and have nothing to do. That's when I have thoughts of feeling tired again.
You see, that's just my reason of feeling tired most of the time. And it's just sad that some people around my circle would never understand that. They thought that I'm just making an excuse and I'm just lazy, where in fact, no matter how much I wanted to control it, I just can't. To be honest, I feel tired of being tired of this condition. But I have no choice, but to accept my reality. I just need to extend an extra mile to have a healthy lifestyle because that's the only the solution.
Moreover, I could say that it's okay to feel tired and with that, it's okay to rest as well. For sure things will be so much better in no time. One day, our tiredness will become happiness and we will be so ecstatic to embark our everydays. Let's trust the path that we're walking. Let's look forward to that day where we no longer say "I'm tired" and we will no longer think of being tired. Things will be so much better, let's claim it.

Aiming for $1 per Day

When you first landed in noise.cash, how many dollars would you wish to accumulate per day?
I have been shifting from one site to another as there are a lot of sites that said to give someone a penny by using them. Not to mention, I was one of those people who believed to the promises of those sites. I have been using the sites for quite sometime, hoping that in the long run, I will be given a reward for the effort that I was exerting, but I guess those were only false promises. I could say that it will take a lot of months or so before I can even redeem atleast $10. But then, I'm still grateful though as those sites became part of my everydays which I enjoyed in someway.
Even feeling hopeless on the sites that I have met so far, I still searched in the internet about sites that are promising and somewhere that I could stay for long. I kept on looking at every corner until I discovered the world of noise.cash. From that moment, I never thought that I will discover a platform that I can't live without.
When I was still an entrant in noise.cash, the sharing of blessings was still based from hearts of other users. I could recall how in awe I was seeing people having more than a dollar per post and with that I was inspired in someway. I told myself that ***my goal in the platform is to earn $1 and it will surely make me so happy if I will be able to attain it.***

Back then, the Bitcoin Cash in dollars that I have been **earning per day was about $0.10 to $0.15 per day and it took me about 6 to 10 days to even accumulate $1.**
I could still remember **how happy I was whenever someone would give me $0.01 from their wallet.** I appreciate the generosity that they're showing for an entrant like me. I was beyond thankful for the blessing that they're sharing to me in someway.
Even though I'm still far from my goal which was to earn a dollar, I'm still grateful for the BCH that I received in this community. And **it's not just about earning, it's about creating a bond** that could last even if it's just in this virtual world. I also love how I find peace in the noise.cash platform, away from the negativity that other social media have been giving through the posts of other people.
Not to mention, **people in noise.cash are friendly and kind** to everyone. Even if you're still an entrant, people would surely welcome you with a smile on their faces. They are there guiding you on what to do as well to create the best experience in the platform. All of them are ball of sunshine and I can't even grasp even a pinch of negativity that surrounded each one. I am so blessed indeed that I have met a platform that's good for my mental health. A platform that helps the people, not just financially, but also emotionally as the community is so light indeed.
Howbeit, not all the time I have experienced rainbows and butterflies in the platform. There was once a time when I failed about something because I was ignorant. But it's not an excuse though because I need to know it in the first place. That's why the platform stopped supporting me especially when the FTs run the show. But then, what I am just grateful about that experience is that, I have learned a lot of lesson and I am applying those lessons learned until now.
Going back, when I realized that I am actually earning $1 of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) or more per day, I am so happy. The joy in my heart is indescribable as in someway, I have reached the goal that I once set in my mind.

Nevertheless, whenever I look at my earnings, it may not be as big as it is, but if I try to check the journey that I once had, **I have seen progress** and I guess that's the best thing of all. I also realized that **it's essential for us here to just focus on our progress**. To not keep on looking at other cup of coffee that others have. We have different seasons here. One day our time will come and we will surely be grateful that we have waited patiently for it.
*****Trust the timing, and trust the process.*****
***How about you? What's the dream you first crafted when you were still an entrant in noise.cash or even in Read?***

May Goals: Achieved or Nah?
`Date: June 1, 2022 (Wednesday)`

Have you achieved your May goals or plans?
How fast the time flies, we are now on the 6th month of the year: **June**. If I try to look back, it seems like it was just yesterday when the May goals have been crafted. Howbeit, now, it's time to evaluate if I have achieved them all or not.
So during the first day of May, I crafted my plans for the whole month. I have written an article entitled: Crafting Goals for the Month of May. I have written their plans or goals for the whole month with high hopes that I will be able to achieved them all. https://read.cash/@LeticiaFelize/crafting-goals-for-the-month-of-may-6c276030
**Now, did the plans prosper or stayed as plans?**
Before we dig in to that, my whole month of May is like a roller coaster ride. I was not having a great whole month, and not also the worst month of all. I mean, just right if I try to evaluate. I have been through a lot and my emotions were ever fluctuating. I was having a hard time coping up as well especially when the mixed emotions eaten my whole mood. Howbeit, good thing that during those times, it seems like something appeared in my life on purpose and gave me comfort to my heart.
Nevertherless, here are my plans on the first month of May:
***One article per day***
***Read atleast 15 articles per day***
***Finish Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the trading book***
***Be more active in noise.cash***
***BCH Goal***

One Article per Day
Supposed to be, I have written a total of 31 articles given that I planted a plan in my head to write one article per day. But then, throughout my month, there were times when my body and mind were clashing. For instance, my mind is telling that I should write an article and I need to write one, but my body can't cooperate because it's too exhausted to even open the eyes and start writing. With that in mind, I just listen to my body and skipped some days. I don't want to be so hard on myself and be more kind to it as much as possible.
Not to mention, I have **written a total of 25 articles for the month of May.** I guess it's not that bad though as it's still not easy to write that amount of articles in a Month. Guess, I'll just take the patg towards achieving the one article per day on the next month.
Read atleast 15 Articles per Day
To be honest, with a lot of things going on with my life on May, it was so hard for me to stay active around here for long. It was even hard for me to read atleast 10 articles and with that, I failed this plan. Hope that things will be so much fine this month. My apologies as well for not roaming around the platform that much, will make it up with you all this month, that's for sure.
Finish Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the Trading Book
Guess I wasn't able to achieved this one. However, I finished the Chapter 3 which is a good sign. But in Chapter 4, I still haven't. I might make it as another goal for this month of June.
Be More Active in noise.cash
This one's a plottwist in the month of May. You see, I have this old account that I have been using since November. But then due to some reason, the FTs waved goodbye to me after a month of being given. I actually decided to be more active and journey again hoping that the FTs will be back. But then, an unexpected blessing come along. I have been given a new phone and with that, I decided to abandoned permanently my old account and make a new journey using my other phone. Fortunately, things get better in my new account and I have been getting FTs already.
Not to mention, I achieved this goal of being active in noise.cash and with that, I'm beyond grateful.
BCH Goal
The market is ever fluctuating. One day the Bitcoin Cash value increases, then the next day it's going so down. With that, I still can't buy the laptop that I have been aiming to achieve and to purchase using my BCH funds. Guess I'll just wait for a few years I guess and wait until the price will go up high anew. And perhaps that's the time that I could finally buy the things that I need to have using my BCH funds.

You see, May is full of ups and downs, but I'm beyond grateful that even if I am not that active around here due to some reasons, you all are still here for me, supporting me in this journey. I'll surely make up with you guys ones things will be iron-out in my life. I appreciate you all that much.
Nevertheless, I guess I need to craft another goals for the month of June. Hmm, what would I plan to achieve this month?
