Day 036

Dear dreamer,

Tracking through Life

It's very important to always pay attention to how we track through life, through the difficult situations, through everything we encounter. Sometimes, I just pause to observe and carefully clean up a 'crime scene', tie every loose ends (not literally though) because there is a chance you will go through something similar next time. How will you address it if you did not tidy it up properly?

 I was just reminiscing a little. I remember having so much issue with keeping friends, how I was supposed to treat them and whatnot. I sucked at it honestly, at that time...not anymore. I was having so much issues with my friends, trusting them 'too' much and just a couple of things that would happen to you when you have no serious control over your life. It was fine at first until it became unbearable, like a very hurtful sore. I had to get rid of it at the time. I might as well tell you my balm recipe. It's resilient selfishness. 

Selfishness is not always a bad thing honestly but I would not attempt to paint it with much finesse than necessary. No matter how it seems, it's still selfishness. Making the choice to always choose yourself over every other person or their actions. Abiding by the rule strictly. I have enough experience to say people are shit (forgive my language)and they are very messed up. You just have to go on forgiving and living for YOU. When you put yourself first, it becomes easier to zoom people out of the picture as required per time. 

Most importantly. I want you to understand that the purpose of all the things we go through, the challenges we face, is not just to experience the extent of issues our lives can face but to change us in some way while we still get to a desired destination. It's to let us mature through each of them, shaping us and making us robust for the journey ahead. You should approach every challenge such that if it comes up again, you will shove through it like it's nothing. Pay attention to how you solve each problem or challenge. It's important. This is the real reason why life is about the journey not the destination. Don't forget, you have this one chance to live your dreams, will you waste it?

Day 001

Dear dreamer, Thoughts and more Thoughts... This is not your typical 'my life story'- only it possesses elements of it. The most daring thing about this is that I am just going with the flow (whatever that means) . I know not what the end will be, only dare hope it is good just like I think. Everyone always say "Dream" and it is only so hard to do so. They never tell you about the hopelessness in dreaming when you are penniless- which is the initial state of every dreamer. They do not want to discourage you so they omit it from every literature or maybe it is just difficult to describe which is what I want to describe so you can almost feel it... For any dreamer who is a vast reader and learner, the best way to start is to borrow wisdom from from great writers and people who have trailed this path before. From all I could gather, one stood painfully practical; 'Do not focus on what you do not have...but what you need  and find your way to it using what you have...

Day 002

Dear dreamer,  Questions...lots of questions Lethargy...I could literally feel it like a gentle caress lulling me back to comfort-very deceptively destructive state. I started the long, arduous process of shaking it off simply because I have this one chance to live my dreams and I won't screw it up as far as it is up to me.  I started the day wondering if my ideas were good. There were a lot of questions;  Can I pull it off?  I might need help so I called out to my close confidant. I read about something called a kitchen cabinet- it is a couple of people that are literally your guide rails. They keep you accountable, you can ask them questions about anything. Well, they are supposed to be comforting enough yet honest to call you up on your faults without mincing words. I started building mine then so I reached out to the one who I can say is the chief of my cabinet. I ran the ideas by him, he did not have much of an opinion just a lot of questions about the idea and ...

Day 004

  Dear dreamer,  Life Of A Penniless Dreamer I don't know about others but being idle makes me so uncomfortable. Like, I must always be doing something valuable, meaningful, something that is felt but, as it was, I was just waking up in the past few days to nothing but absolute emptiness. Of course, I did some mundane chore but it moved nothing so I was dissatisfied and wondering what exactly I could do- something effortless enough but impactful. Not like I did not have things to do, in fact I had deadlines to meet but I was in low spirits so I had no motivation nor intention and I have learnt to not force some things. Quality dwindles. Poor quality with so much effort. There is something I do from time to time, no fixed time frame but I just organise it as it feels. It's a self-reflection exercise. During the exercise, I just simply review all of my plans and see how much progress I made- sometimes it is depressing, other times it lifts my spirit. It's just to make sure I ...
