I've reached a point where I just want to keep laughing, moving, loving, growing, and going. I don't want others' opinions
to define me, and I refuse to lose myself trying to fit in. In fact, I don't want to fit in at all. I want to excel at my own game without seeming like I'm trying too hard.
I miss the days when I could just be quiet, meditate, and connect with myself, knowing that's exactly what I needed. If the whole world could be quiet for a while, wouldn't that be beneficial for everyone? Silence is indeed golden, but what do you do when faced with accusations? Do you remain silent and observe, knowing that silence can speak louder, or do you speak up because your words matter?
What do you do when you don't know what to do, when faced with situations beyond your control? Do you shut down and let matters die down, or do you take initiative despite doubts in your heart? Do you continue pushing for answers?
Especially when it comes to loving someone and showing you care, but you're uncertain if they feel the same. Do you keep pushing for an answer or live your life without worrying about the outcome?
For me, I've decided to live my life to my satisfaction – not at others' expense, but to the glory of God. I want to use this life wisely, as we only live once.
These are just my unfiltered reflections. Thank you for reading this far. Peace out.
