migraine

Ever since, I am plagued by this damned Migraine.

Regardless of the plans I make for the day, whenever I have Migraine, I really need to lie down and halt my activities. I feel like I’ve abused my body so much that it ultimately fights back.

I am a strong, independent woman who is able to fend for herself but Me having a migraine makes me so baby-ish. I’d like people to take care of me. Prepare my bed, get me water and the meds etc. In a way, it makes me vulnerable. It makes me want to depend on other people without feeling awkward.
It’s a perfect excuse! LOL

Kidding aside, while I loathe having migraine because it makes me less of an independent woman, on the flip side, having a migraine makes me humble and re-evaluate what is essential to my life.

When I have migraine, I feel the desire to give up everything and just sleep. In that moment, everything just fades. The new hauls for my next ootd (char!), the newly released drone that I just got and need to test or even the thoughts of backpacking all around Europe, they all become just fragments and do not add weight to what it valuable in my life.

Whenever I have migraine, I can’t think of anything but to be well. To be okay. To be better. To sleep it off and wake up brand new.

I do think that my Migraine reminds me of how important it is to value every minute of my life. It reminds me to appreciate being well and having the health to do my activities but at the same time, to never abuse my body. Having a migraine makes me appreciate the people around me because yeah, No man’s an island. It makes me put my perspectives in a proper order.

What is precious in my life?
It solidifies that it’s the little things, the wild abandon of people’s opinions, the surrender to faith, the family.


Ultimately,  I am reminded of these things as often as having a migraine! And it happens almost every month! It sucks but rocks?

Friendship is spelled with END

Image
As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
