The only obstacle is you.

Because trust me, if you decided that you had enough of being the side character of your own life, you'd be unstoppable.

Yeah, you might be your biggest obstacle, but you're also your biggest strength.

While reading this, you're probably thinking that you won't let some self-sabotage become your routine, right ? And that you want to be the main character of your life ?

Well, then start acting like it.

“If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can’t just wait to see what kind of day you’ll have. You have to decide what kind of day you’ll have.”

— Joel Osteen

last night, I had a dream of winning two trophies one day afternoon to this contest of making an origami rose made from a paper we used on notebooks (one with lines colored red and blue) and I came home scolded by my brother for being not home for the whole day, when I just won two trophies. I was excited to finally show this off to anyone, to prove I am excellent and talented. But then I woke up, the excitementz gone.

Sometimes I would like to think in another universe, I was actually a potential kid, who's an achiever and brilliant.

“I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.”
