“With a sigh, he took the bottle and poured whiskey into the glass in his hand. He stopped when the glass was half full and he reached for his phone. Staring at the glass, he remembered that he used to debate with her about the glass being half full or half empty. Half full would always be her answer. He looked at the number he once swore he would delete but he never did. With furrowed eyebrows and a messy mind, he pressed the call button next to the number and brought the phone to his right ear. He listened as a familiar soft voice started to speak. “Okay this is awkward but hey, I think I’m busy at the moment,” he smiled as the voice said, “so please leave your name and message after the beep, and I will call you back as soon as possible.” “It’s me,” he spoke after the beep tone, “you still have not changed your recorded message when you said you wanted to.” “Well, I’m glad you didn’t,” he continued after a short pause, “because I can still remember the funny yet lovely look in your eyes when you first recorded this. You asked me for some ideas because you didn’t know what to say and when I suggested this, you weren’t really happy about it.” “But you went on with it because you thought it was better than nothing and that you would make a change once you thought of something much better. It’s been five years since then. Time sure flies, doesn’t it?” “You know, I have so much that I have yet to say to you,” he sighed, “I never stopped thinking of you and I am still waiting for you.” “So please come back and I promise you that we will be better than we will ever be. We will go through everything hand in hand. We will face the world together,” he went on, his voice quiet and shaky as he tried to keep his tears at bay, “Just like what you said before, together until whenever, right?””

reminders
“you are allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve; like becoming better in a video game, baking really good pancakes or just getting out of bed today - not everything you do has to be world changing” - @gentle-reminder
“Don’t ever do something simply because someone else forces you into it. At times, people may try to make you do things that you may not want to do. However, you must respect yourself and only contribute to what you feel comfortable with doing.” - @thepowerwithin
“There will be other tests. Other assignments. Other jobs. But there might not be another chance to dance with your sister on her wedding day. You may never get another opportunity to sing along to all your favourite songs at a concert. There are no guarantees. So, forget the test. Miss the assignment. Skip the work day. Life isn’t made by those things. It’s made by living. By experiencing and enjoying every thing we can while we’re still here.” - @ifthenightcouldtalk
“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” - @psychofactz
I have so so so many more tips that I’d love to share, so perhaps I’ll make a part two next month aimed at a different audience, who knows? In the meantime feel free to ask me for advice or send me a message if you ever need anything! I’ll leave you with a sweet little meditation gif below :3
Much love xx -wil
