thoughts about staying

I want to be honest and say that coming home brings me joy but at the same time, it throws me into a pit of hopelessness.

I happen to stay at home the whole day and just surveyed my surroundings.
I just think that the place I am in is no longer the same place I once lived. Rather than getting good energy, I felt like I needed to get out of here.

It makes me desperate to change not only my life but our lives as a family.
It makes me want to do more and with that, I am encouraged to work harder than before.

If there’s any consolation, it brings me to a new perspective. It grounded me to see the reality. It made me want to try harder at life because I don’t want to remain the same.

Call me ambitious but there’s no other way but to move forward, stronger, braver and ultimately, smarter.


I came home because I wanted to see for myself how my family is doing. And needless to say, I am mixed emotions. I planned on staying for good but I don’t think this is the right time. Rather than staying for good, I’d like to take this chance to restore my mental health, get past my anxiety and throw my insomnia away. I want to attain my sense of balance so that, wherever I am in, I would survive because I have remained focused.

Friendship is spelled with END

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
