In this podcast, I will share with you a brief passage I came across that is entitled "The Paradox of our time". There is a lot to unpack from this passage but in this episode, I will talk about love and how do we love as people.

This episode is a reminder of how love is worth pursuing.

It is a message I dedicate to those who are praying, hoping, and looking for love.

How are your 2022 goals? Doing great?! Perfect!

Nope?!

Did you make one? Or are you still scrambling to lay it out?
If yes, let me share with you three questions you can ask yourself that can help you make a plan for the year.

Happy New Year. It's the beautiful year of 2022 and finally I am able to comeback and record a new episode. It has been a good two years where I took a break and disconnected myself from the both the digital and social world. In this episode, I briefly talked about what happened and why I took a very long pause from all the cares of the world. Did it do me good? Was it beneficial? 

Apparently, there were a lot of things that was compromised in this long period of inaction for me. However, it did also brought about a moment of peace where I was able to reflect and look deeper into my own self.

Now that I have decided to get outside of my own burrow. What's next? 2022, we shall see. :)

It’s okay not to be okay.
If I were to be asked, “How are you?” My answer would be “Not OK” but then I might stop and pause before blurting out the words because first I am not even sure if the person asking is really interested to know if I am alright. Possibly he may have asked out of a habit of courtesy and good manners. Second, to say not ok sound so ungrateful. Which is far from my reality because I know that I am far too blessed and i am very grateful for everything that I have and for all the things I lack.
Yet, being sad, lonely, frustrated and depressed are emotions we all go through and there should be no shame in admitting that. However, it can be hard because society or even ourselves have placed a stigma on being emotional and we tend to frown upon display of negative emotions in public. As adults we are told that we should have control over our emotions not be the other way around.
I agree, that is so true but then somehow with these thoughts in mind it is also worth understanding that acknowledging our frailties and shortcomings, and emotional low points is necessary in order for us to address the root cause of these emotions.
Vulnerability is strength. Ironic as it may be. But though try as we might being in control always is a joke. We can never be in control of everything that happens to us. We need each other’s support and in order to get it we must learn to assert and ask.
People are social beings, social as in we need to interact with other people in many levels. For this reason that we deprive ourselves of reaching out within and to others resulting to exacerbated feeling of overwhelm. Making us more out-of-touch with our emotions. Making us resort to the useless rantings we were supposed to prevent ourselves from.
So next time someone asks you “How are you?”. Be honest. Say what you really feel. Let us be more kind to ourselves and know that it is always OK not to be OK😉
