it's never too late. there is always time to restart, and to give it another go. to try the same thing again, or to try something new. don't ruin your chances, by convincing yourself that you have passed your time, because you can begin now, you can begin tomorrow, and whenever you do, it will be the right time, it will not be too late.

too busy loving myself that I hardly worry about whether I'm your cup of tea or not. sip on that cutie!

A productivity app won't fix your lack of focus unless you want to do it.

A fitness tracker won't fix your lack of effort unless you want to do it.

A self-help book won't fix your lack of action unless you want to do it.


--Stop trying to fix internal problems with external solutions.

its okay to not want people around you all the time no matter how close they are to you. sometimes solitude is the only friend you need. and that doesn't mean you are anti-social or a negative person. sometimes the soul craves a quietness that is healing for both mind and body.

to avoid disappointments ; take people or situations as they are and not what they could be.

not all wounds are the same. some will heal faster than others. while others will take a lifetime to heal. and then there are those we never heal from. the ones we learn how to live with. and the one we carry with us every where we go. that's life.

Solve the problem or leave the problem. Don't live with the problem.

It takes years to be comfortable in your own skin. Decades. A lifetime. So feel it. Don't be ashamed of yourself. Of your body. Of your feelings. Be you. And do not give into the anxieties of life. Do not give into your insecurities. You've been through wars. Through hell and back to be where you are. So don't let anyone make you feel any less. You know who you are.

I have reached a point in my life where nothing hurts me as badly as it used to. Things happen, you get hurt, people leave, and hearts get broken - but life goes on. I have built a wall around me using nothing but self-love and that is why when things go wrong, I am no longer affected. I love myself enough now to know my worth, and that means not crying about someone who did not love me enough to stay, or fight for me when they should have, is the shadow that test day of the year.
I used to be the kind of person who would be affected by the smallest things, despite having undergone so much in such a short period of time. And now, I cannot shed a single tear. This is not because I have become numb, but because I know no one is worth my tears. I used to think that nothing gets better, and that things can only get worse and some of us are destined for just pain.. But I was wrong. Things do get better and that is all I keep close to me now. The tiniest glimmer of hope and possibility- the fact that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and no matter what anyone says, things get better with time. Believe me, they do.

it feels like the biggest loss, but trust me when I say that it is not your loss if you lose someone who doesn't give a fuck about you at any instant. be calm. be composed. trust the process. it is better to be alone than running after someone who doesn't value you. better things will come. focus on improving your own life.

you were a lesson I never wanted to learn.

always choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect.

Stop chasing the idea of a ‘perfect love’, instead - chase the self-love, chase the ability to become the best version of yourself. Chase your dreams, your hopes and wishes. Chase everything that will stay when love leaves, and hold on to it, for you must when it does.

The real flex is remembering why you started your healing journey and never going back to toxic people no matter how lonely you feel.

That's the one thing
you have to understand.
If it was really meant to be.
Then it would have been.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
And nothing in-between.

I just hope it doesn't take you
a lifetime to understand this.

You can fake a smile,
But you cant fake your feelings..

success isn't the destination. success is the journey, it is the discipline and hard work you put on everyday despite having tonnes of anxiety, fear, failures, heartbreaks, tiredness and what not. making mistakes is okay but repeating them isn't. so do not procrastinate. do not fall for the 'new year resolution' traps. everyday is a new day. do not wait for tomorrow. begin it today. end this year on a good note. focus on your health, family and goals!🌪️

i know I'm a bit inactive lately. but I will see y'all around soon.

much love
ocean 🤍

Remember. Your life should revolve around those who stay. Around those who genuinely want to love you. Those who genuinely care. Forget the ones who break their promises. Forget the ones who show you no compassion. No loyalty. It's harsh to say. And it hurts to think about. But you have to give all your energy to those who are real with you.

Promise me not to hide yourself when you're in pain. It's heartbreaking that we laughed together but you cried alone!
