Let your emotions flow.

Every day becomes dull and almost like the movie The Truman Show.

It can get so gruesome that you start feeling like a failure that maybe you are not good enough.

But usually this moment is just a moment.

You have that quick breakdown for a minute and become that genius again.

I can be a crier myself, but no one even knows that I have any problems.

People have no idea about my struggles.

I am that good.

Usually when I am down, I go down to the ugly path of my past.

I start picking at every bad moment in my life, hating myself.

Then I realize I am overreacting.

I know I have been through a lot.

I think about it, but then I realized, I handled so many issues with grace and dignity.

I did not take the easy route in life, no matter how bad it got.

I thought how well I did in school despite my parents having financial problems.

I stuck through education and I stayed positive.

I even again sometimes didnt even realize I was a category of poor or working class people.

I used to think I was a working class to middle class.

My hard work in my career path is going pay my bills.

I am doing my own thing my way and its working.

That is the most important quote to me.

It boosts my mental strength and also being aware of having a crazy future.

I know it sounds odd, but there is nothing wrong with taking care of you.

My family is in Texas I am in New York.

So I am selfish, I buy good food.

I work hard to save money.

I am working to get into a middle class life.

I start eating healthier; I am def planning to travel.

I am more confident because I have some say in my life.

That power of being able to take care of you, is the most amazing feeling ever.

You do what you want when you are ready.

In other words Treat yoself.

It sounds not as odd as being selfish, but no one likes to talk about prayer.

It is a beautiful thing.

Even if you do not follow a religion, the practice of meditation is down to a science.

It can even be a simple routine, like for breakfast you make special pancakes.

Or have a day of doing nothing, literally.

it’s possible for you to just watch television all day and cuddle with your cat.

I mean really schedule it in.

Pick a day in the week, that you just go home after work and do nothing.

Or pray, meditate, sleep, take a bath… etc.

Just relax and be.

Of course dont just quit your job and go for American Idol.

But hey, maybe you should?

As long as you dont regret it, and let loose.

A lot of times people are always worried of the repercussions of an act.

Not something anyone does.

Honestly I have, and I was the only person in the theatre.

But it was amazing, the whole theatre to myself.

I can yell, laugh, cry, eat, have a whole meal.

No one can control your life, not even you.

Sometimes, it nice to just let go and be free.

Sometimes doing something creative helps the mind to relax.

It can be even meditating, but something that actually requires you to create some sort of work.

Like cooking a cake, writing a song, playing a piano, drawing.

Some sort of act that takes some focus and editing.

You plan better and have more insight to details.

I am blessed that I do have so much more than I realize.

I attempt to be more compassionate about the wrongs that have happened in my life.

I give more support to my friends and families when they have hard times.

I dont expect anything in return.

Ill pay for my friends and never want anything in return.

I always feel the need to just give.

I dont see it as an act of kindness; its just something you do.

In my life if I learned one thing about my family is that we were very giving.

My parents are nice people who were always concerned for their friends.

I am happy and thankful I have been taught this as a child.

But surprised its not something everyone learns.

I love funny movies, I love funny things.

I enjoy making jokes all the time, although some might not be funny to anyone.

But I just love feeling all goofy and bubbly.

Its like a natural high.

I am a fan of memes, something I have been pronouncing wrong forever.

I call them meh-mehs instead of meems.

The annoying part, I still want to call them meh-mehs.

I love watching cat and dog videos.

Just laugh, dont be afraid to think something is funny.

Most things in life are funny.

Let your emotions flow.

You swallow your pride to impress and be around someone that criticizes you for no reason is not necessary.

If you are angry at your internet not working, feel mad.

Its okay to cuss when you cut your finger.

Its okay to feel anxious or nervous.

That is the definition of being human.

Pump up your blood, get the adrenaline rush in a healthier and legal way.

Go join a gym and do even a light workout like walking or cycling.

There is also walking in a park, jogging, going to the beach or pool for a swim.

Dance to a good beat.

Go to a concert, play a game of paintball.

Even just clean your house and organize.

Be Prepared For Disappointment.

Prepare yourself for other options.

Be open-minded and more flexible to other possibilities.

Dont lose focus on your dreams and dont give up, it is not the destination but the journey.

The most amazing journeys do have some insane obstacles.

Know that you will find a way no matter what.
