Today's poem is brought to you by @fajsin.ali.poetry (Instagram). This poem really resonates with me because there have been situations where these thoughts come to my mind towards people I am close with or use to be close with. Whether it was because of a disagreement, different values, or something the other person said, I have cut off those relationships aka buried them. This poem makes me want to become a better communicator because instead of thinking these thoughts I can approach that person and kindly explain the problem I have with them. We are humans and it's only human to feel hate but as humans, we are capable of being a better person each and every day. 

You have to have high hopes for a living. Whether you are 18 or 50 you will find your purpose at your own time. Everyone has their own progression and as long as you don't waste any of your days you will find your purpose. The value of life is very important whether you have already found your purpose in life or if you're still looking for that purpose and this piece by Mayonaka is a reminder of that  YOU ARE BROUGHT TO THIS EARTH FOR A REASON.

Pain in temporarily. As humans, we will encounter some kind of situation when we feel great suffering but it's how you rebound from that pain that will determine what type of person you are. I was in great pain when my grandpa passed away and I felt I was drowning in the bottom of the ocean. My grandpa was like a father to me but I regret not spending more time with him when he was alive. Through prayer, I was able to feel better although it took a couple of months. Time heals everything including pain. I didn't want to feel pain anymore and I accepted that my grandpa was in a better place now. I remind myself how grateful I am to still be alive, to be able to breathe this fresh air, and to have people around me that still love me. 

Today's poem is brought to you by @life_is_poetry3(instagram username). Being an over-thinker can cause a person to become stagnant and doubt oneself. For any dreams/goals anyone wants to accomplish, PURSUE THEM. Overthinking can cause a person to become fearful of following their dreams because many doubts come to mind why you won't accomplish your goal whether it not being good enough, not rich enough, or popular enough, etc. An example is this podcast of mine. Many doubts and questions came into my mind before starting my podcast such as who's going to listen to my podcast? Who's going to care about my podcast? At the end of the day, I believe in myself and didn't overthink any more and started my podcast. Have big dreams and pursue them with actions, don't overthink it. TAKE A CHANCE. 

This poem made me feel regretful for not keeping a daily journal when I was younger. If I was to go back 10-15 years from now, I would tell my past self to keep a daily journal and write in it every day so the future me can look back and read those journal entries. My advice to any teenage/child reading this, keep a daily journal so one day you can read it. It'll be worth it. You'll read things, your memories won't even remember. WRITING IS FOREVER.

There are a lot of wonderful poems within her page and I will for sure be reading more of her work in the future. A relationship with anyone is a 50/50 split in which the people involved must do their part for the relationship to be healthy and functioning, but at the same time, you need to realize that you can only control your part of the 50. When the other person isn't putting the same effort within that relationship then the relationship becomes inbalance. Instead of it being 50 + 50 which equals 100, instead, it becomes 70 + 30 which still equals 100, but one person is putting more effort into that relationship and catering to the other person ahead of themselves. I've been in many relationships where the love wasn't reciprocated back equally and sadly I had to cut ties with those relationships. Although it was hard at the end of the day your self-worth comes first and you shouldn't have to question your self-worth within a relationship. 

Today's poem is brought to you by rupi kaur from her world-renowned book, "Milk and Honey". Rupi Kaur is one of my favorite poets if not is my favorite poet and this poem exemplifies the meaning of self-help. The importance of self-help shouldn't be frowned upon because it can correlate to that person's daily life. One needs to be mentally stable to be able to have a good relationship with a future partner.
