(Hey reader 💕 I hope you are getting through whatever you are doing. If you haven't drink, get that sweet hydration. If you are thinking to eat, get that delicious food. If you are tired, rest well until you can continue again. You can't do everything at once or for everyone. Just do it for yourself. Take care and be well 🌷🍀)

i hope im not only a mutual to u but also someone u can refer to in conversation as ur friend from overseas so u appear worldly and well-traveled

you ever just minding your business and then you feel The Grief

It can be really hard to learn to engage in positive self talk, but sometimes it's easier to start by pretending it's coming from a friend, first 💜

You cannot take it all. Offer. Sacrifice does not kill, but preserve, make it holy. Until wings turn into a cross. However noble, if we do things on our own, we are the enemies of grace. Odysseus was noble. Nevertheless Dante put him in hell, precisely for that reason. Hell is based on justice. Heaven is grace. Nobody deserves it.

It is 1:30 AM, you are feeling anxious and not productive, so you bake a cake and try at least, finishing one assignment. I remind you that be gentle to yourself, you are trying hard till you lose sleep. You need that rest to replenish energy used. It is okay to slow down. You are doing great.

Yesterday's sunday funday, joined a 2.5 km walk with mum, and treat myself a small sized latte (but it tasted so bland sadly). Didn't do any study since it was my rest day and felt good to not overthink anything even if for a day. Also, look at those shade of blue and indigo 💕

The first exam of this week, Managing International Business. also, took a pic prior to entering the exam hall. The exam is quite challenging and had no high hopes really. I tried my best and it is alright if the result isn't what I expected to be. I just need to try harder and smarter.
