B eauty - a combination of qualities, such as shape, colour, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.  How are we supposed to feel beautiful or handsome when beauty standards are literally shoved down our throats nowadays? Its almost as if we are all supposed to look the same when we were made to stand out and showcase beauty in all its forms.  It is quite mind baffling how at some point, we all felt beautiful up until someone pointed out something on you that made you self conscious. The mere fact that your words could break someones spirit and confidence in a matter of seconds truly highlights the power of the tongue but that is a topic for another day. We all like to pretend as if we are not affected by what people say about us but the truth is, those are the same words that sometimes keep us up at night and we even end up using those same words as weapons against our selves.  Now let me highlight the hypocrisy, the same features that people we...

P atience - the capacity to accept delays or problems without becoming anxious or annoyed. One of the many implications of social media is the unnecessary pressure it exerts on people, mainly the youth.

The main reason I am always anxious about the future is because I see many of my peers achieving so many things and I sometimes feel left behind. However, I have to take a deep breath and remind myself not to compare myself to ...

P ilot - a stand alone episode of a television series that is used to sell a show to a television network or other distributor. A pilot is created to be a testing ground to gauge whether a series will be succesful but in this case, its my blog. I have always been passionate about writing but I have never publicised it, over the years I have written countless poems that I keep hidden away. This is mostly due to my anxiety and my undeniable fear of failure.  I have finally mustered the courage to get out of my comfort zone and start a blog to share my thoughts and pieces of myself that I keep hidden away. The ultimate goal of this blog is to write about things I go through and to face my fears in hopes of inspiring someone and letting them know that they are not alone.  This is an introductory post and I promise that there is still so much more to come. This is extremely nerve wrecking but I am so proud of myself for taking the first step. I wont restrict myself to one theme or ...
