All About Art and Life 101

These days I feel like I've been losing a lot of people in my life. Some literally leave and never tried to talk to me again. Well, some of them changed and you can tell that they're drifting away. I guess these things are inevitable and will eventually happen no matter how much we tried. When did you realize that someone or something have changed? When did it hit you? Honestly, this topic is one of the most painful thing to talk about. I hate losing someone. I hate that whenever I start loving someone so much that it scares me that's when I usually lose that person. I have a best friend and she's been my friend since junior high school, it's been 5 years and she's the only friend that stays with me that long. At first, I'm okay losing her because I'm so used of being replaceable, people leave whenever they want to. I never thought that someone would actually stay but she did. With no pretentious and sht she stayed casually teaching me to trust. We used ...

What is your passion? Painting? Cooking? Writing? We all have something we are so passionate about. And I know sometimes it's suffocating because we want to do it so bad but sometimes there are a lot reasons why we can't but I assure you there are also a lot of reason to continue doing what you love. Probably you don't know how to start and it maybe because of different reasons but I guess it's mostly because you are afraid. Afraid of failure or afraid of people's opinion. I guess when we want something so bad we have this burden to make it perfect. But how are we going to know that we succeed if we have never fail? I believe the hardest part of following our passion is our will to start. You need a lot of courage to start because starting something means you are ready to take risks, you are willing to accept failure, you are open to learn and you are starting to follow your passion.  If you're still reading I want you to know that it's going to be worth it....

Sometimes we lose someone in order to grow. Sometimes people just naturally drift away because we are no longer part of their lives. Sometimes God wanted us to be stronger so he takes people with him. R E T R O U V A I L L E S Do you believe that someday, somewhere we can meet again the people we love? Do you think it's possible to be with them again? Have you ever thought of being able to see that person after a really long time? Well, I do or let's say that's what I wanted to believe and maybe because it gives me comfort. Knowing that you'll be able to meet the person you love and just thinking of being able to hold her again, gives me comfort. It gives me a little bit of hope. Hope that maybe somewhere I am with the person I love. And maybe this is what's keeping me to continue loving a person I already lost. Afterall, we can never unloved a person and so I'll be waiting for my retrouvailles.

Who was the first person who has shown you compassion? I remember this exact question that was asked by our teacher. I remember the first person and the only person that come up on my mind. My dad. How about you? Who has shown you compassion? Have you ever felt compassion from someone? Has someone ever made you realized that "wow that is compassion". Well, I did and it was my dad. According to google compassion is sympathetic pity or concern for the suffering or misfortune of others but I believe compassion is more than that. Compassion is not only about emotion it also involves action. I still remember how unconditional love can make someone compassionate. My dad showed me that and I guess that's one of the reason why I still believe in love. I want you to take a moment and try to answer these with yourself: Who was the first person who has shown you compassion? What did you learn from them? What was your motivation to help the person? What difficult feeling did you expe...

These past few months, I've been painting and it's really fun. Actually, I've stopped for a long time maybe because I feel like I wasn't doing enough. I forgot how happy I feel when I am painting and I let my insecurities got to me. I know some of the artists have felt this kind of insecurities too. And I want you to know that it's okay if you can't do it today but I want to tell you, don't ever stop! Don't let these negative things get through us. I know you're strong even if you feel like you're not. If painting and art makes you happy, do it, make it. 

Are you afraid of being alone? Have you ever imagined being alone for the rest of your life? Why do we fear being alone? Does being alone means you’re lonely? When we were just a kid we are so scared of not having our parents and when we became an adult we are so scared not to have someone. I guess we are taught like that, it’s been imprinted in our mind that we need to find someone because that’s only way to be happy. There are days you envy people who has someone, for years you thought the only goal in life is to be with someone. You've tried so many times to fit in with people just because you're too scared to be left alone. I can't even count how many personality and character you've tried to copy just to be accepted and loved by people. You always do your best for people especially to all the people you loved. I mean it's not that bad because you are doing that for them but sometimes you are forgetting your worth. I guess when we love someone we can't reall...

Hebrews 3:13   "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today,' so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness."   Have you ever felt discouraged by someone? Have you ever cried going home thinking there is something wrong with you? Have you ever felt intimidated by someone who’s been belittling you despite trying your best? I bet you have felt this once in your life.   Sometimes, our word can cause a big impact to someone. We can’t expect people to accept painful words and be okay with it. We can’t blurt out painful words and call it a joke, joke are supposed to be funny not painful but sometimes we tend to forget that. We tend to forget how painful words could break someone. Our words are powerful it’s like throwing a stone in the sea, no one will see how deep it goes. Your words could only either break or inspire a person so if you can, always choose to be the person who inspires someone.   I want to share a story, this is from ...
