I wake up of bed everyday in hope of building a better life for myself. Some days, I find it hard to get out of bed because I keep asking myself what the purpose of life is. But at the end of the day, I don’t get to stay in bed all day. I need to get my ass up and go life the life I prayed and worked so hard for a few years ago. That’s the irony of it. Most of us are living the lives we wished and prayed hard for a few years ago. We knew it will be hard, but we still wanted it. So, now that we have it we can’t even get to complain.
I don’t know about you, but for me I always see beautiful things around me every blessed day. I keep getting and seeing reasons to do good and to be a better person because I see how much peoples lives change within a twinkle of an eye and how miracles happen all the time. Life is as fickle as it gets and you wouldn’t appreciate life as much until you see how many people wish for a quarter of the life or good health you have. Recently, I’ve had a very good friend of mine tell me every morning that she always thanks God for life and the ability to go about her daily life with no health conditions.
Beauty to me is how you perceive it to be. The world is a beautiful place. People are beautiful and beautiful things do happen all over us. The world can’t and won’t always be white. There will be shades of black and what matters at the end of the day is how you chose to see it. Last month was one hell of a month for me. It’s was so packed with activities I almost forgot who I was but when I look back, I realize it was worth it.
The beauty of last month for me was the realization of how far love can go. I always knew love was a good thing but I got to see first hard how much the things we do for love matters. Last month, my younger sister took a very huge step in a her life and honestly, everyone in my family supported as much as they could. It’s funny how we complain about this and that but when the need arises and we have to show up for our loved one, we don’t even think about our own problems.
I also saw how far love will and can go when I first hand saw the levels some of my friends could go to just to make sure their loved ones are okay. I know someone who works a full time job and also works an extra night shift just so he could provide for his loved ones. Then there’s this other friend of mine who realized how much he was falling apart from partner and made a mental note to be there for her and work things out.
I always thought people will do whatever they want to do regardless. But las month thought me that when you find your people, even the hardest of things are made to look like an everyday thing. Love is one that stays, one that hopes and one that never gives up no matter how much the odds are against us. And last month, I got to see and experience that first hand.
all images belong to me.
