Sometimes, I feel envy to others that I know I shouldn't. They have everything that I don't have. I used to compare myself to other girls, and it has really hurt me. Sometimes I feel like I'm lacking something, but im just really not contented with what I have. Seeing all these pretty girls in social media, sometimes I can't avoid but to compare myself.
As a woman, I don’t always feel 100% secure about every aspect of my life, whether it’s my body or my intellect. In today’s world of Instagram and social media, we can become obsessive and feel more and more pressured to attain “perfection” (which we all know doesn’t actually exist). As a result, we can be left feeling inadequate and insecure, leading to poor self-esteem and low confidence.
Insecurities, we all have them, we all try to hide them and sometimes, we are afraid to share them. It can be scary to admit the what features you don't like about yourself. But I realized that I shouldn't compare and embrace myself, because what you envy in others is the effect, what you need to fix in yourself is the cause.

♡ MY BUCKETLIST ♡
Before I die. I want to do all these things. I want to avenge my Family's sacrifice. I want to feel that life is good to the point that I can't help but to smile. I want to find my motivation that can boost up my confidence to reach my goals and to find my purpose.
Happiness is seeing my Family happy. My Family are the most precious gift of God for me. They help me in every step of my life. They trained me very hard for the future challenges. Therefore, I will make them proud and strive more to achieve my goals.

"SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK "
"Slowly changing into something different."
A couple people give their input on YouTube but i figured that this would be the place to go to find people that were as passionate as i am. This song is about a girl who's cheating on him but he found out. "Slow dancing in the dark" had a double meaning cause it's literal but to be "in the dark" about something is to not know about it. So he'd rather the girl be with the other guy she loves more rather than him being oblivious and them staying together with her cheating behind his back. ‘Slow Dancing the Dark’ is like being lost. Like you have no idea what you should be. Sometimes, being biracial feels like you don’t really have an identity and just lost. You’re split into two. Stated slow dancing in the dark as a metaphor for being lost, Which I also agree with, But I think more in the realm of joji's confliction with his prior art.
It is Augustinian , because there is a reason why the guy is struggling with depression or anxiety or any other mental issue and he feels inadequate for his partner. He doesn’t want his mental state to effect the person that he loves most. He doesn’t want them to be trapped in the “dark” that he is slow dancing in.

ALL ABOUT NIRVANA
Nirvana (nibbana) literally means "blowing out" or "quenching". It is the most used as well as the earliest term to describe the soteriological goal in Buddhism: release from the cycle of rebirth.
Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven. In Hinduism and Buddhism, nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person's individual desires and suffering go away. Achieving nirvana is to make earthly feelings like suffering and desire disappear. An example of nirvana is how people feel after meditating for hours. An example of nirvana is heaven.
In Buddhism, this state, which the Buddha couldn't relate in language, is called nirvana. The word is Sanskrit for "to extinguish." In this case, it means to extinguish ignorance, hatred and earthly suffering.
Buddhist thinkers have distinguished between “the nirvana with remainder,” a state achieved prior to death, where “the remainder” refers to the mind and body of this final existence, and “the nirvana without remainder,” which is achieved at death when the causes of all future existence have been extinguished.
Like the Buddha, other buddhas gain omniscience when they are enlightened. Buddhists who achieve nirvana with the help of a buddha guide become arhats, people who are enlightened but not omniscient. While nirvana is possible for any person, in most Buddhist sects only monks attempt to achieve it.
The Buddha himself is said to have realized nirvana when he achieved enlightenment at the age of 35. Although he destroyed the cause of future rebirth, he continued to live for another 45 years. When he died, he entered nirvana, never to be born again.
In the Buddhist tradition, Nirvana has commonly been interpreted as the extinction of the "three fires", or "three poisons", greed (raga), aversion (dvesha) and ignorance (moha). When these fires are extinguished, release from the cycle of rebirth is attained.
The Buddha said: "One who is willing to attain Nirvana, has to understand Four Noble Truths. These Noble Truths are the key to attain Nirvana, without proper understanding of Suffering, Cause of Suffering, Relief of Suffering and the way to end Suffering, These are the four Noble Truths."
Following the Noble Eightfold Path leads to liberation in the form of nirvana: Just this noble eightfold path: right view, right aspiration, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.
Achieving nirvana is to make earthly feelings like suffering and desire disappear. It's often used casually to mean any place of happiness, like if you love chocolate, going to Hershey's Park would be nirvana. On the other hand, if you're a Buddhist monk, it may take you years of meditating to reach nirvana.

When it comes to fruit. I'm like a Kiwi. Kiwi seems plain on the outside, but in reality im super colorful on the inside. Im a small person, and a bit on the fuzzier side. Even inside I can be a bit sour, but at the core im sweet. When im sweet, im the one everyone loves and talks about, but when im sour people stay away always reminissing about that sweet one. But they will always go back for more hoping to get that sweet one again.

"THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS, YOU SEE, IS NOT FOUND IN SEEKING MORE, BUT IN DEVELOPING THE CAPACITY TO ENJOY LESS. " -Socrates
This doesn't mean you should not pursue your purpose and settle for less than you deserve. In order to find happiness, accept everthing that you have and do things you love, and stop looking for happiness and start living on it. Especially, be content with what you have, never with what you are.
Happiness is feeling pleasure and enjoyment because of your life, situation, and showing or causing feelings of pleasure and enjoyment. It is the feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can't help but smile. It's the opposite of sadness.

EPISTEMOLOGY
"Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced" by: Soren Kierkegaard
Means that life had a purpose and meaning. We strived to live in the absurd and prioritize a world where we pressed forward in the absurd.
"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."
