Stop Searching

00:07:00 Talister 0 Comments

You know, the thing about us humans are that we always feel the need or validation or sense of fulfilment to find something that is ‘right’ for us. The job that is ‘right’ for us, the spouse that is ‘right’ for us, clothes that suits us or are ‘right’ for us. We keep searching for things to make us happy and fill our hearts with pure content. We're so stuck at the idea of finding something that's right for us. Well fuck having everything ‘right’ in your life. Stop searching for every thing ‘right’ in your life. We always expect to find things that is right for us. And listen to me when I tell you this, for God’s sake or the sake of your sole happiness, do not expect. Expectations can kill. If you expect to find it, and for it to only turn out otherwise, trust me you’ll only end up being disappointed.

Now, what you need to do instead is to accept. Acceptance is one of the keys to a happy life and happier you. You have to ultimately learn to accept that things will not always go your way and you will not always get what you want in life. That is just how life is, and you’re not the only one. So, don’t feel like you’re the only person that is going through this. I once told someone dear to my ever so forgiving heart that I always get what I want and his reply was ‘Well, I can’t say it’s the same for me’ haha well, it turns out that I do don’t get whatever I want. I get what I need. And that is just what you need, but you just don’t realise it most of the time and feel that life is not going your way. Here’s a self-help tip: “Getting what you need will help you more than getting what you want” – Talia Anne

Two keys to take back from this post: Limit expectations and learn to accept.


Don't give up,

Be Alone.

09:48:00 Talister 0 Comments

Everybody needs to be alone at some point in their lives. It doesn't matter how old you are or what stage in your life you're in. You need to be alone. And I'm not talking about 'alone time'. I'm talking about actually being alone and having time for yourself for a good period of time. It can be a year, or two or three. To really figure out who you are and learn about yourself is all part of growing and being left alone is what you need to do to get there. Have meals by yourself, watch a movie, go to a concert by yourself. Do anything you would do with someone else by yourself. It is the most refreshing and liberating feeling you could ever experience. And no that is not sad, like some people would like to think or assume it is. It instead portrays your strength and dependency as a person.

Sometimes in life, in order to save someone else, you need to save yourself first. You need to learn and accept yourself first before doing the same for another. And sometimes, time for yourself is exactly what you need to do to get there.
