The Butterfly Dream

I am a multipotentialite and I used to believe wholeheartedly that all my passions and pursuits are of equal value and significance in my life. However, that doesn't seem to be the case and having that mindset affected me quite negatively. Having many passions and pursuits is so wonderful but if we don't know how to manage them effectively, we'll be stuck forever at starting line. By l...

To trust in the natural flow of life that will guide our ways as we live and lead us to what is meant to be when the timing is right. As we continue to pursue our dreams and happiness, the moment that all our choices, decisions, and actions align is the moment when everything we've been waiting for will unfold before us. Life can be really hard and unpredictable, but let's try living to en...

Finally taking my first step, internally and externally, towards my dream and purpose. I hope to leave my tears behind so I can continue moving forward into a new happiness, while lighting up my past with beautiful crystals; the tears so small and insignificant that no one knows about, but also the tears that inspire me to change the color of this whole world. I have a lot to learn and improve on,...

Life is undoubtedly difficult, but it's much more simple than we live it to be. There are so many things that we do or think about that get in our way and put unnecessary pressure onto us, which make life feel a lot harder than it already is. Let's try to live our lives a bit easier, and one day, we'll be able to turn what we think is impossible into something quite simple.

Happy Thanksgiving! As I'm learning to appreciate everything in life more, I can genuinely feel the deep sense of gratitude and wisdom that come with this Thanksgiving season (and with Thanksgiving in general). I just wanted to make this episode and spread my message of thankfulness to the world and to the precious people and things in my life. I'll also try my best to continue being grate...

When you want to give up or feel like giving up, I hope that this personal story of mine can help you feel that you're not alone and re-ignite the spark inside of you again. I still feel like I'm stuck in one place - the very beginning, and I've doubted myself countless of times. However, despite everything, I still want to trust that I'm capable of achieving many things that I set...

How I'm freeing myself from people-pleasing habits and tendencies. I've been inspired to write a poem about people-pleasing, based on my experiences, for a while now, and I finally got the words and feelings out of my head. As I'm thinking about myself while writing the poem, I realized how much I've changed and how I'm now able to control my people-pleasing habits and put myse...

The progress we've made might be invisible to our eyes because they're so small and gradual, but they absolutely have been and will continue to be by our sides as we go through our ups and downs. It will keep on growing, without us realizing it, each time we gain more wisdom through our experiences in life. When the right moment comes, we will definitely be able to feel and appreciate all...

Life is an endless game of push-and-pull, rather than a straight run down one path. Finding a balance between the two will help relieve some unnecessary burden and provide strength and courage to push harder towards what we consider most important. It's absolutely okay to fall back from one thing for us to be able to effectively pursue another.

If you're someone living in a world that's already pre-determined or planned out for you, whether it be physically or mentally, I'm sure it's a really hard decision to step outside of the zone and try something new, or try going with the flow and be surrounded by many uncertainties. That was me, up until recently. So, as I have gained the encourage and have been experimenting to se...

Organization skills and decision-making skills are two essential aspects of our lives. We use them every day and in almost all situations that we come across. Those two skills not only apply to physical things such as schedules, projects, and/or events, but also to our thoughts and ideas that are responsible for our actions. When we learn to develop and master those skills is when we will bring in...

Re-defining happiness will help achieve true, internal, and eternal happiness. We should try to welcome and appreciate the little joys in our lives rather than always chasing after the bigger pleasures. It's normal to be ambitious and aim high, but let's never forget to embrace the simple things in front of us that can easily put a smile on our faces.

I finally realized why I was so stuck in one place. I see what I was doing wrong, and there were so many misunderstandings that circled around within my mind. I'm going to let them go now and restart again with a different way of thinking. This will be another beginning towards what's waiting for me at the finish line.

Let's not hold ourselves back anymore and let us live life full-out. No more pushing down our potentials and no more hiding from the spotlight that's meant to shine on us. We need to let ourselves free from all judgements and expectations, and we should live each of our own life to the fullest.

It's so easy for us to fall into the toxic grind mindset due to the hustle culture that we constantly hear about from other people and/or from the internet. We all want to achieve our goals and dreams as soon as possible, but we should never hurt and torture ourselves in the process because that makes everything loses its purpose. Let's remind ourselves to treasure our health and wellbeing...

If you're a passionate person like me, you might also find it a struggle to have many passions or interests that you want to pursue, but can't because either you feel overwhelmed with all the choices or you think that you don't have time/effort to pursue them. There are so many things that we want to do all at once, but that caused us to not be able to do anything at all and only const...

We're all undercover stars in the form of street lights that shine the pathway for many people, including ourselves, and protect them from the darkness glooming over their lives. Let's try to appreciate the street lights around us that always light the way for us, and let's try to be the street lights that will shine brighter than all the stars above.

Where is the balance between giving yourself a break that you've been deprived of and standing back up on your feet to climb the invisible mountain ahead?

It's inevitable for us to occasionally lose track of our days when we're so caught up with trying to be better or when we're chasing something that went off its original path we intended for it to be. Whenever that happen, it's so important for us to slow down and stay grounded, so that we can bring back clarity to that blurriness feeling. This is a continuous life lesson that we n...

It used to be quite hard and frustrating for me to live in this extroverted world being an introvert. However, I truly love my introverted self now and I hope to be able to showcase all the wonderful things that come with being an introvert. Meanwhile though, here's a few funny and maybe relatable stories about my introverted self to lighten up the serious, perfectionistic, and focused mindset...

Dear my youth, I hope that I can bring the best out of you and gain a lot of experiences and wisdom from all the challenges that you give to me. Run along with me and let us reach the finishing line together.

Remember, you are doing so great right now despite how much you might think you're not, and you'll be so proud of yourself in the future when you look back at everything you've done or try to do. Don't be too hard on yourself and don't allow your doubts or regrets prevent you from going after what you want. Believe in your light and let it naturally shine.

Happy 10 years with BTS! This podcast episode is dedicated to the artists, the musicians, the songs, and the lyrics that saved me from this dark world. I truly appreciate and admire BTS so much for their music, their passion, their authenticity, and their messages that helped me and many others push through the most difficult moments in life. They encourage me to keep on trying and improving mysel...

I love to drown myself in the ambience created by the sound of silence, especially after loud and overwhelming moments or activities. In our world, it's extremely difficult to find time or places that are completely silent, besides artificial man-made rooms of course. But, somehow, the soft gentle noises that we hear within the silence just naturally blend in all together and they make up such...

Just a short little podcast that describes my concert experience mentioned in the last episode, along with a poem to acknowledge and feel the feelings that came with the experience. I've added some fun easter eggs (song titles from the setlist and other things related to the artists/group) within my poem so major thumbs up to you if you know who or which concert I'm talking about ;)
