“you are much more than you think you are”

‘What are you?’ ‘To define is to limit.’ — Oscar Wilde

To be honest, it terrifies me the way we are labelling one another with all sort of traits such as introvert, extrovert, ambivert and more to come soon! I mean it is okay to distinguish or even categorize in terms of sociology and et cetera but what’s not okay is when we tend to confine people’s ability based on their personality.

That’s exactly when “judgment” comes into play when someone else tends to have a say on what’s best for you and what’s not just based on your personality traits.

Whether that’s in a career setting, social, relationship or any sort of human interactions, it is evidently happening all over you right now! But I believe it’s time where we need to break this social segregation that’s happening worldwide based on personality types.

What does this mean to you? Let’s be real! It’s like a clear and loud message being sent out to all kids out there that “Yes, you got to be in the spotlight all the time. You got to be putting yourself out there all the time to attract career opportunities, financial growth and et cetera.”

It’s sickening to think about how we are encouraging the younger generation to be out of their own skin to fit into this favoritism game. You tell me!

Isn’t it funny how the world advocates on “be yourself, just be you” but when it comes to real-life situations, the table turns so quickly? Honestly, as someone whom grew up in this gender equality era, I believe now it’s time to speak more on personality equality.

Despite what’s your personality type, everybody has to be given equal opportunities. Your personality type does not have to be a prime influence for someone else to make life-changing decisions for you.

You are you. You are unique. Even if you’re an introvert, you don’t have to necessarily force yourself to fit into an extrovert traits just to gain something and vice versa for an extrovert. It’s time to change the game and it all begins with you!

“Some People Teach Us How to Love, Even If They Aren't the People We End Up Loving in the End.”

Not everyone we meet is meant to stay. Some come into our lives to show us what love could look like—gentle, all-consuming, or even painful. But that doesn't mean they're the ones we're meant to spend forever with.

There are people who teach us how to hold hands, only for us to realize we weren't meant to hold on forever. And in their leaving, they still leave us with something: a version of ourselves that knows love a little deeper.

They show us what it means to be seen, even if they later choose to look away. They make us feel like home, only to remind us we must build one within ourselves too.

They weren't your forever, but they were your awakening. The reason you now know that love isn't just about staying—sometimes it's about what's revealed when someone leaves.

Maybe their purpose was never to stay. Maybe they were there to show you your capacity to love, to feel, to break, and still come back softer.

Letting go doesn't erase the lessons. You carry them—the way they smiled at you like you mattered, the way they held you like you'd never be dropped.

Even if, eventually, you were.

You don't have to hate them to move on. Some people aren't your destination. But they're the reason you now know how to walk the path with love.

Thank you—for being a chapter I'll never regret, even if I can't reread you again.

GM! Happy Monday! A new Blog is HERE! Learn something about your value, and how you should stop following things that make people love you, and love things that you love yourself.

OTW is a new track. I sat down last night thinking if I should release this one I did a video on or a 2nd one I worked on. I slowly realized the mixing process for the 1st track was not amazing and it's hard to fix it. Nevertheless, I will have a song out This Wednesday! Or maybe 2 if you're lucky. Any new artist! Let's CONNECT!

Todays (not random) article: NFPA 704

NFPA 704: Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response is a standard used for labeling hazardous materials and chemicals. It is maintained by the National Fire Protection Association and was first designed and implemented by the Charlotte Fire Department after a fire at Charlotte Chemical Company led to responding firefighters recieving severe injuries. At the time, in 1959, there was no requirement for labeling hazardous materials, and as such the firefighters had no way of knowing that they would need any special equipment or methods to fight the fire.

The label itself is a diamond shape divided into four sections, typically one blue, one red, one yellow, and one white, with red on top. These sections correspond to the materials health hazard, flammability, chemical reactivity, and codes corresponding to special hazards, respectively. The blue, red, and yellow sections will each have a number to indicate how severely each category applies. This number is 0-4, with 0 being no hazard and 4 being severe hazard.

✨ Your space deserves more than something pretty to look at.

It deserves something that feels like you.

Something that hums in the background, like a song you forgot you loved.

I wrote about how I stopped waiting for that kind of art — and started making it.

“You Have No Idea How Much I Wanted It To Be You.”

If you had let me, I would have given you my heart-whole, unguarded, without hesitation. I would have shown you the depths of my love, the quiet spaces in my soul where only you belonged. But love, no matter how deep, cannot exist on permission alone. It needs to be met, returned, held with the same certainty.

I asked for permission, even if I never spoke words out loud. I looked at you, hoping you would see what I couldn't say—that in a world full of people, it was you l wanted to hold onto. But maybe love, no matter how strong, can still be out of reach. Maybe wanting isn't enough.

There were moments when I thought we had a chance. When our conversations felt like poetry, when your presence felt like home. I let myself believe that if l just held on a little longer, if l just loved you a little louder, you would finally choose me. But life doesn't work that way. Love isn't about who wants it more—it's about two hearts choosing each other at the same time.

I wanted it to be you. I wanted to give you the world, to be the one who made you feel safe, to be the story that never had to end. But the hardest truth to accept is that not all love is meant to be held. Some are just meant to be felt, deeply and quietly, like a song that lingers long after it stops playing.

Maybe in another lifetime, under different stars, we would have gotten it right. Maybe in a world where love doesn't come with conditions, you and I would have stood a chance. But in this life, I am left with nothing but the echoes of what could have been, the quiet ache of a love that was never fully mine to begin with.

And maybe that's the hardest part—not the loss itself, but the knowing. The knowing that no matter how much I wanted it, no matter how deeply I felt it

You have no idea how much I wanted it to be you.
