There are days when I won’t laugh at your jokes, not because I don’t care, but because my mind is weighed down by things I’m not ready to share. Sometimes, I disappear— no messages, no updates, just silence. It’s not about you; it’s about me needing space to sort through things on my own.

I may not have the words to explain, but I hope you can understand that. I’m not ignoring you or pushing you away. Sometimes, I just need to be by myself to feel okay again.

To the ones who rise every morning despite feeling like they can’t—know that even in your struggle, you’re inspiring others.

Your persistence reminds us that healing isn’t about perfection but about choosing to move forward, little by little, even when everything inside says stop.

I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me.
She smiled and said to me..

“I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.

I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me..

I stopped fighting with my in laws..

I stopped fighting for attention..

I stopped fighting to meet public expectation of me..

I stopped fighting for my rights with stupid people..

I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight..

And I started fighting for
my vision,
my dreams,
my ideas and
my destiny.

The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful.”

Some fights are not worth your time.
Choose what you fight for wisely.

Breathe.

It's going to be alright. Remember
all the times you didn't know how
you'd get through but you did?

You'll get through this one too.

Hi WBB Family? I just wanna know, how is it going? 🤎🤍🖤

Nobody knows how much I suffered this year.

I’ve seen the most vulnerable version of me, and I realized that it took everything in me to survive from my silent battles. I almost lost myself because I was hurting a lot.

Nobody really knows how much I pulled myself together just to survive this year and for that, I am so proud of myself for being here.

Dear Me,

Someday, you'll thank yourself for choosing to love yourself instead of settling for less than what you deserve. You will figure out one day that the pain that you feel right now is just a part of healing. You will never be in pain forever. You will realize that you made the right decision to walk away from people and places where you feel like you are unappreciated and unvalued. You are brave enough to choose yourself this time. You are brave enough to let go of all the things that hurt you, even though you love them more than anything else. My dearest self, you are strong enough to survive all the suffering that you've been through, and I know that you'll be proud of it someday.

I want you to know that you deserve to give yourself a break from everything that tortures your heart and soul. You deserve to be happy, even after any heartbreak. You deserve to give yourself peace, even after being miserable for so long. One day, you will thank yourself for treating yourself better than how other people treat you. And maybe that day, just like everyone else, you will finally understand that everything happens for a reason.

If you paid for the things your family needs, you’re not broke… you are blessed.

If you helped your siblings or kids go to school, you’re not broke… you are blessed.

If your family is taken care of, with food, shelter, and love, you’re not broke… you are blessed.

Success isn’t about wearing expensive clothes or showing off online. It’s about handling your responsibilities and making sure the people who matter are okay. Let others waste money trying to impress people they don’t even like.

The real ones are the ones who step up and take care of their family. If you’re doing that, you’re already winning.

May your pocket never run dry, and may you always have enough to take care of the ones you love.

I hope you are healed. Ughhh 🥹✨

If you ask me how I’m doing this December,
“I would tell you, I’m fine but on a deeper level.”
I’d tell you that 2024 wasn’t easy for me. I had to face many hardships and much pain.

But I’ve realized, I had to go on. I had to move forward and to heal."

If you haven’t sent cards this year, or forgotten someone’s gift.

If you don’t have matching pyjamas or a festive family photograph.
It’s okay.

If you can’t find the energy to be merry and bright,
or your tree isn’t even decorated yet.
That’s really just fine.

If you don’t feel like watching your favourite Christmas movies, or honouring the traditions that you normally always do.
Don’t sweat it, my friend.

This year has been hard, for many.
Really hard.

If you can’t see a way to celebrating like you have in the past, don’t worry.
Just hang on in there, finding any joy you can in any little way.

Just make it through till next year.
One day at a time.

We need you.

Hang on in there.

You are loved.

"You may not know where life will always take you, but I pray you will never give up on that tiny hope that one day, you'll live the life you've always wanted."

It's okay..
You'll be okay.
Maybe not now but one day you will.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing your best already.

Maybe you're feeling so overwhelmed and exhausted. Maybe you feel like giving up everything all at once because you just had enough..

But you're stronger than this.
I believe in you.

Four things you have to stop doing immediately. Most people ignore the last one. And I’m going to explain to you how the fourth one is stronger than you realize.

First. Stop regretting the past. What’s done is done. You can’t change what’s already happened. But you can use the lessons to move forward.

Second. Stop worrying about the future. Free yourself from worrying about the unknown future and trust your ability to handle whatever comes your way.

Third. Stop looking for your happiness in other people. True happiness comes from within. And when you find it. Everything falls into place.

Fourth. Stop underestimating your inner strength. You’re stronger than you think. Believe in your abilities and embrace your resilience. Every setback is an opportunity to learn, grow and grow.

You’re here, and that’s what matters. Embrace it all—the good and the bad—because life has no replay button. Love deeply, make mistakes, and take chances; life is a cycle of trial and error. Change is inevitable, and while it can be daunting, it often leads to growth. Not all change is bad; sometimes, it’s exactly what we need.

Remember, you matter. You’re where you’re meant to be, with a purpose to discover. Life is precious because it’s a one-time journey—no pause, rewind, or fast forward. So take it all in, write your story, and smile. You deserve happiness.

2024 was a tough year. It felt like a rollercoaster, with so many ups and downs. There were many times I wanted to give up, but somehow, I made it through. I cried over my failures but also celebrated every small win. Even the little victories felt big because they meant I was moving forward. I made new friends and lost some along the way. I felt hopeless, disappointed, and upset at times, but I kept going, even when I didn’t know where I was headed.

Now, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, even though the journey wasn’t always easy. It’s been a year of figuring things out, and I’m just glad I didn’t give up.

You're allowed to make mistakes, to have regrets. No one gets it all right, and that's okay. What matters is that you're learning, that you're willing to do better. Don't let one wrong turn make you forget all the good things about yourself. You're still growing and that's enough.

I love the idea of protecting my inner peace. It’s not that I am selfish. I just know myself, and it’s scary if you see who am I when I’m uncontrollably emotional. I cut people off no matter who they are as long as they began to destruct me.

And I think that’s okay— to unfollow people who destroy your peace. Sometimes, it’s better not be associated with them. Because after all, you know you.

The least you can do is to walk away with places you’re not welcomed.
