YOU are capable. YOU are strong. YOU are worthy.  

YOU deserve the best out of this world and nothing less - don’t sell yourself short. One life is too little and too short to worry about the what ifs. Take control of your surroundings, be thankful for the little things, and never forget to breath.

Our new baby Gabriel (Gabe). Will actually came up with the name and it suits him so well - Gabe is our angel from heaven when we lost our first baby boy, Lucky. Lux will forever live in our hearts and will endlessly be our baby boy; I miss him more than anything in the word. But I am so thankful for Gabe and his cute meows, his loving and playful energy, and his sweet and warm affection. We are already so in love and find more things to love about him every day. Thank you for coming our lives, sweet thing.

I've realized that no matter how many books you read, how many people you talk to, how many experiences you've had, no one prepares you for life. I believe that that is what "adulting" means - accepting life. Every great speech I've listened to about life expresses that you will reach your goals with unexpected turns, unanticipated leaps, and with unimaginable strength. Maybe the secret to attaining the unattainable is believing in the unexpected.

I wish I had those little angels on my shoulders so they could help me break out of my moods.

Life is hard but I’m learning how to make it extraordinary one step at a time.

It's hard that only I can give myself peace. My mind is tired from consistent demands. Sometimes I wonder if our nation was designed this way - to exhaust individuals so horribly that we neither have the time nor energy to redesign ourselves. I don't want to be a slave to this fake, stressful, and hopeless reality. There is more and I will find it in me.
