Life lately has never been easy; it is tiresome.

Life lately has never been easy; it is tiresome.

Having dreams to pursue, goals to achieve, and family, friends, and a special someone to love and live for is indeed the best thing we could have in this entire universe, but despite those, there are still days that the weight of the world on our shoulders is heavier than the warmth of their love; their presence does not always fuel our will to live but rather sometimes burns us alive with their endless demand. Even dreaming doesn’t add sense to life.

I am so tired of the changing demands of life and standards that do not cater to diversity and one’s uniqueness that I long for a moment of peace—to breathe, to be mindful of my existence, and to take back the navigation wheel of my own ship.

I want to understand myself deeply beneath the skin that covers me. To realize my purpose and to live the life I desire in simplicity—no pressure, no demands, just me, being at peace.
