If you know me personally, you'd know I'm an overthinker, I live in my head hence I get overwhelmed easily and lately I've had so much going on, so much to do and this has made me overwhelmed.


Woke up this morning feeling so weak coupled with the fact that I had tension headache all through the night and I had a crazy chest pain so I barely slept. I was contemplating calling in sick at work or manage to go, in between I got a message from a one of my biggest cheerleader, I opened the message and the headline was "6 things mentally strong people do" the first one caught my attention and I didn't even bother to check the other 5 before I ran off to the bathroom to get ready for work.

it says "THEY MOVE ON, THEY DONT WASTE TIME FEELING SORRY FOR THEMSELVES"

While in the bathroom I was contemplating on this words, Do I really need to feel sorry for what I can't change or handle? instead I should get up move on to things I can accomplish for the day rather than wallowing in sadness over the unseen.


How do you handle things that are out of control for you, do you have a coping mechanism? I really want to hear from you.


STAY BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS AND HAPPY AS YOU SHOULD 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

    You're a beautiful writer. I can read you all day. I'm following and learning.

    When it's out of my control, I just move on, pretend like it wasn't there.

      Thank you for your kind words. That seems easy, is it?

    I try my possible best to distract myself from it either by sleeping or playing video games or interact with nature by sitting at the park either early in the morning or late at night.

    Some of us have chosen to live life one day at a time and that's our coping mechanism to things we can't help.
    Nice piece of work by the way.....we want more..

    Hey T, I'm glad you found this relatable and I'm glad you found a way around handling things that are out of your control.

    As a moon child, I always suck at moving on initially and that's because I overthink almost every damn thing. However, I've learnt to always do as I grow older.

Still Learning, Still Becoming

Hey Geng... What have you been learning in the quiet moments lately? I’ll go first… It’s been a minute since I sat with my thoughts long enough to turn them into words. Life has been… full. Full of questions, quiet realizations, and unexpected turns. Some beautiful, some hard to name. I’ve been learning  or maybe unlearning  a lot about life, love, worth, silence, and what it means to choose myself without guilt. There are moments I’ve felt like I was unraveling, but maybe it was really just shedding. Peeling off old versions of myself that no longer fit who I’m becoming. This isn’t a dramatic comeback post. It’s just me showing up again. Honest. Soft. Maybe still healing. Definitely still growing. So here I am, back in this little corner of the internet, sharing what I know best  my process. Not perfect, not polished, but real. If you’re here reading this, thank you. I hope you stay a while. 🦋

Na me mess up. Again

I texted twice, maybe thrice… okay, definitely more. 🙄 And yes, I know I’m not supposed to write long paragraphs, but guess who turned into a one-woman novel committee? Yours truly. I’m here to report myself. Why? Because I’ve been aired. Again. But this time? It didn’t sting like the last ones. Maybe because I wasn’t expecting much. Maybe because, deep down, I just needed closure even if it didn’t come wrapped in kindness or clarity. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t pretty. But it was… something. And sometimes, that’s enough. Now, I can finally rest. Accept things for what they are, not what I hoped they’d be. Don’t judge me—I’m just a girl, trying to feel, heal, and maybe overshare once in a while.🦋🦋🦋🦋
