Today

Dear Me,

Today, I promise to take control over my life.
To take control over my decisions and accept responsibility for the consequences.
The only way to be happy is to be free.
Free to say what I want, feel what I feel.
I'm never suppressing my emotions anymore.
You either take it, or leave it.

I will take it slow, but I will also work hard to achieve the best at my youngest age.
I will not back away when people talk down on me. Even when my voice
is trembling, I will still speak up.
I will be brave enough to fight the fears that have been long since stuck
in my system. One by one, I will fill the gaps with beautiful things to look
forward to.

I will be the strength of those who need it most, but I will also not be weak.
I will give only a part of myself and not everything, until there's nothing left.

Most of all, I promise to be myself.
To be unashamed and unabashed with the way my mind works,
To how my body looks like,
To the way I dress and the way I laugh out loud,
To the way I space off sometimes and forget the rest of the world.

I will cope with my demons the way I know. I will take it slow and start
asking for help, even when my pride won't let me.

I will be unashamed and brave from now on.
I will do things my way and at the same time, bend with the world.
I will stop worrying about the future and start working on improving my
present.
I will love harder even if the love is not returned the way I want it to be.
I will try harder even when all the odds tell me to just give up.

I will kiss and fall in love and climb mountains and be a writer, someday.
Someday is not just a word. It is a place that I will go to and I'm beginning
today.

What ifs by Paddy Bostock Review

First off, I'd like to start with how the book has captured my attention from the start. It introduced our main character in a poetic way. Very deep and almost sensual. He was, in his own opinion, odd. Very interested in only himself but in a non self-absorbed way. He never realized his true potential, until he meets Gabi who makes him realize all the good that he has done.  It's a romantic take on how a person struggles to perceive one's inner self despite the many obstacles one faces. People around you notice you and are willing to help, if you'd only let them. Some creatures we do not see may offer aid as well. And like many others, we must use our hearts to see them.  This book transcends all the good things life has to offer and how you must discover yourself to find these good things. They come often. Only we do not know they are there.  A great read about adventure, life, philosophy, and a bit of fantasy; this book is truly a treasure

Holding a Heart

I must really love you if I can publicly post this. :D When I come to think about it, we have been kind of courting each other for almost 4 years now. Although we haven't seen each other in 2 years, I've never felt this strongly about you before. I'm sure you feel this way too, as you have a way of describing things before I even feel them, myself. I have always been afraid that you are going to stop midway and leave me to look for an easier kind of love. You snapped at me a day ago, and although you barely remember it, the words are still ringing in my head. Who can blame you, when even I, believe you're off better with someone else? And suddenly, I came to the realization that it wasn't me you were angry at but yourself. Like the way I was angry at myself for not being brave enough to hold on to you. I literally went against the world for you, but it came down to family, responsibilities, and having to escape. I think you were angry for not fighting hard
