New Year Reflections

• "What's your next goal?" I don't know. Nowadays, I prefer to take things slowly and give things a really good, long thought. I don't feel the need to rush things just because. 

• Often times, I am embarassed to publish my good life because it feels truly, deeply insensitive to the reality of the world. To say "look at my amazing day" while people on the other side continue to die and live in suffering and all we can do is watch from afar...it kills me inside. 

• Negative energy is like air pollution. Nobody wants to breathe it, nobody wants to see it, nobody wants to smell it. When you bring negative air into a room, you are making other people suffer and causing secondhand stress. Don't be that person.

• I know my worth and I truly don't need validation from others moreover strangers. If you say something mean to me, idgaf. I'll probably just smile back at you and wish you a good day.

• Kindness is a rare character these days. Social media has made people become so self-absorbed, most of us are forgetting the importance of good manners and courtesy. If you wanna be a precious gem in a field of pebbles, be the kind person in the room.

• Put down your phone, look at the other person in the eye, and learn to have a good conversation with others. Connection only happens when you are truly present.

• "I'm scared of the future". You should be. We should be. But let that fear become your fuel to do good today. If you can't do your best today, at least do good. Be good.

Happy new year.
