“Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.”

things that will help you create meaning in your life
PASSION-DOING WHAT WE LOVE
spending our time on things we actually care about gives us a sense of meaning because we’re emotionally invested in what we’re doing rather than just going through the motions
CREATIVITY-EXPRESSING OURSELVES
being creatve allows us to express ourselves and question what we think we know— this act of questioning is how we break through limitations such as “life is meaningless“ and create a meaning of our own
RELATIONSHIPS-SPENDING TIME WITH THOSE WE LOVE
we are all reflections of each other, connecting with our loved ones allows us to experience ourselves on a deeper level
this deeper level is where we begin to look within and understand what makes our lives meaningful
LOVE-THE FORCE THAT CONNECTS US ALL
separation makes us feel isolated and this is usually where the mind tricks us into believing there’s no meaning or purpose to life
when we love others & receive love from them we are actively reducing this separation which allows us to feel the oneness that connects us
EXPERIENCES-THRIVING, NOT SURVIVING
varying our experiences introduces contrast and this is what makes our lives worth living— joy would’t feel so good if it wasn’t for pain
travelling, eating, exercising, communicating— there are so many incredible experiences to be had and each will provide a different sense of meaning
KNOWLEDGE-LIFE CHANGING REVELATIONS
there’s nothing quite like stumbling across knowledge that changes our perspective on problems or diffiicult experiences we’ve faced
implementing these teachings changes our lives for the better and this moves us into the creator mindset which dictates that we can create any reality we desire
GROWTH-BECOMING OUR GREATEST VERSIONS
focusing on being better than we were yesterday is a worthwhile pursuit that creates meaning in our lives be=cs whilst walking the path of growth we will achieve our wildest dream
GRATITUDE-REFLECTING ON THE BREVITY OF LIFE
whether it’s the passing of a loved one or roadkill we must reflect on how brief the time we have on the planet is and be grateful every singe day that we have life
life’s meaning is to be found in the present moment–gratitude helps us tune into the now
fairy tales are more than true; not bcs they tell us that dragons exist, but bcs they tell us that dragons can be beaten
I remember how you were so interested in me last time. I remember how you used to cheer me up when i feel so shitty. Things died. Things changed. I miss everything, from your i love yous to your goodnights. I miss how you used to send me long essays telling me that i should not give up in my life. Things changed between us. You stopped texting me like how you used to text me. You don’t give a damn about me anymore. I thought you’re gonna be there for me all the time. Guess i was wrong then. You told me i was your happiness, but you found someone else as your happiness. Guess I’m so easy to be replaced. Its 2am and there isn’t any text from you. You said i was your everything. You said that you’re gonna be there for me. You said I’m your love of your life. Shouldn’t you be there for your ‘love of your life’ at her worst? Funny how i was there for you when you were all shattered. I help you fix your broken pieces, but you’re not here for me when I’m all broken and sad. That shows how much you ‘love me’.
You didn’t just cheat on me; you cheated on us. You didn’t just break my heart; you broke our future.

all of us hiding,
hoping someone is seeking
This distance taught us how to appreciate all the small details that life is made of. I would, of course, like to change the fact that we have to deal with distance, but I would never change all of the precious insights that we gained from this experience.

i still wonder where our love went
maybe when the october comes
it feels nostalgic about us
or maybe it is hidden between words
of thousand of poems
making other people fall in love
or maybe it became a tear in someone’s eyes
i don’t know where our love is
i only hope it is okay
