Dear P,

It isn't my intention to devalue you. And definitely don't wanna miss a thing about you. We've been through a lot and you became my best buddy. I can't even stand a day without being with you. Believe it or not, my mom even got mad at me because I can't give her the attention and time for the reason that I always choose to give it to you. Doing this is also hard for me but I have to. Mainly for myself and health. This won't take long, I just need to find myself again. And I am gonna do it apart from you. Rest assured, I'll be back.

Love,

Sequoia

Hep! Hep! Hep! Before you say a word, I just wanna clarify things and clear my name. I don't want you guys to think of me as a very irresponsible daughter because of the letter above. Actually, that letter is not for someone, but particularly intended for something. Maybe you have already observed it from the title itself. I used it and not him/her. This basically means that I am talking about a thing here and not a human.

If you have observed, I am not active here yesterday. Well, an idea just sprout from my little brain and I decided to make my Sunday as a gadget free day for me. I don't know if you can relate with this but I always succumb myself in gadgets everyday from the moment I wake up till I doze off. I must say that it isn't really good for my eyes. If you didn't know, it was because of my overused of gadgets that caused me to wear eyeglasses. The grade in my left eye got higher that leads me to have a blurry vission. Aside from that, I also have dry eyes and my doctor gave me eye drops for it. Thankfully, I was able to reflect and realized yesterday to have mercy and be gentle with my eyes. I took a break from Mr. Phone in order to rest my eyes and spend time with my mom without any distractions. And I am so happy to say that I did it! Yey!

________________________

Break up doesn't hurt all the time

Don't give me that look. I know, the least thing we want to hear in a relationship is the word "break up". Hearing those words from the person we love is very traumatic and painful. Anyhow, I am not referring to that kind of break up. I am pertaining to the break from the things we usually do every single day. Doing the same thing or routine all over again, will really drain us no matter how passionate we are about it. That is why, we should never neglect the importance of having a break from those things.

Rest is as important as working.

Everyone here including me, surely has something we want to achieve and that it the reason why we are working hard. We work, because we have a dream. We work because we need to. We work because we love doing it. Plenty of reasons why people strive and work hard and that is actually a good thing. Isn't it amazing to reach our dreams by our own might, effort and help from the Lord?

However, we also should not forgot to give ourselves a rest. Actually, the Lord himself was the first one who introduced the importance of rest? If you still remember or know the story of creation, you might have an idea about the things I am blabbering here.

God created the world, the animals , the sea , the trees and humans in six days. He looked at His creation and considered it as good. And on the seventh day, He took a rest.

See? Even the Lord took a rest. How come that we, humans can't have and need that too? We have limitations and we get tired. Our body needs a rest as much as our soul too. Honor the things that your body is telling you. Be gentle and discipline yourself at the same time.

________________________

Closing Thought

Resting is part of the process in order to achieve our dreams. It is essential and brings clarity to our mind. Aside from that, resting will renew our strength and provides peace to our inner being. Taking a break plays a very vital role in our lives. Take it slowly and give yourself some grace.
