Pruning for progress

What they are cutting out of you no longer serves you

This world is filled with challenges, negativities, and obstacles that bombard us with situations that cause stress, anxiety, depression, and most importantly self-doubt.

But l want to tell you that you have the power to rise above them all. The power to remain calm, focused, and unperturbed no matter how difficult life seems to you.

I am not trying to tell you to pretend through life, or to try to deny your feelings or suppress your emotions. All l am saying is that- you have the right to choose how you respond to what the world throws at you.

Trust me, l learned this hard truth yesterday. And it's difficult to overlook someone’s property to go bad or wrong.

But hey, you can not control the actions of others, you can not make others see the same visions as yours. You can’t control what happens to you in life- but you can control how you react to them.

You can choose to let that pain define you, dictate to you, control your actions, your thoughts, your emotions, and your directions all l care

But you can also choose to maintain your composure and move forward.

I am not writing this for you alone. I am documenting this for my future self as well. So that when l feel like shit one day. I will come back to this page and tell my fuck’n self to get up and move on.

Acting as if nothing bothers you does not mean you’re heartless, it only communicates that you’re in control of your own life and you refuse to be a victim of your troubles.

Don’t forget that it's not going to be easy to overlook things like it never existed. So just be yourself, “care” if you have to

But remember that your thoughts create Your reality- the way you perceive the world around you, the meaning you give to circumstances and events make up “you”.

Yo! Give me a thumbs-up if you don't fuck’n care about anything life throws at you anymore.

Searching For Meaning

I know some close friends have probably been waiting for me to drop an article titled "Why Me?" , or maybe "I Can't Anymore," or let's just say "I'm Tired of Life." To be honest, topics like that crossed my mind the moment I saw my inbox flooded with, “We regret to inform you that..” —over and over again. But in my case, I didn’t say “Why me?” With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, I could barely whisper the word that slipped through my lips— “Again?” Suddenly, my head started aching uncontrollably. I couldn’t focus on work anymore. Then the saddest news dropped: my backup plan was expiring in just a few hours. With my head pounding from all the rejection letters, I couldn’t even summon a pinch of energy to try again. I quickly packed up and headed home, hoping I could catch a nap. But even sleep didn’t want me that day. Then I remembered the responsibility I’d taken on—one that required my attention no matter what I was going through. Oh...

A Ring by 30

Before you rush into finding “the one,” find yourself. Chapter One Aisle of Expectations It was a casual dinner among close friends. We sat around a long table at a rooftop restaurant, eating, chatting, and laughing between bites. The sound of cutlery tapping against plates mixed with light conversations. Glasses were half full, some already on their second round. We leaned in to talk over each other, swapping stories, teasing, and catching up like we always did. Then — a crisp ping sliced through the noise. Clink-clink…Clink. All our heads turned as Daniel, grinning like he was holding a secret too big for his chest, stood halfway from his seat and tapped the edge of his fork against his glass one last time. “Ahem,” he said dramatically, drawing out the silence. “If I could have your attention, my beautifully nosy group of humans…” Chuckles followed. He turned toward Nina, who had just taken a sip of her drink and was already giving him a suspicious look. “We’ve all known each ...

A Friday to Remember

I’ve come to notice something in this life— The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race. The strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, the skilled are not always wealthy, And the educated don’t always live successful lives. It’s all decided by chance—by being at the right place, at the right time. Reading that verse over and over, it felt like God had placed a stethoscope to my heart and knew exactly where it hurt. Instant goosebumps. I had never felt anything like it before. It was like that scripture was speaking directly to me, giving me answers I didn’t even know I needed. Answers to the questions I’d buried deep: Why doesn’t life go as planned? Why does hard work sometimes lead nowhere? Why do things fall apart just when they seem to be coming together? Why does it feel like people love me, yet something still feels off? Why do things look promising but never materialize? Why? Then that last part hit me hard—“It’s all decided by chance, by b...
