White Chocolate Mochas

White Chocolate Mochas

It's been over 365 days

Yet it feels like yesterday we said “see you later” even though

We knew it was goodbye

I still cherish those moments we were sipping

White chocolate mochas drinking

Our worries away

about a future as best friends as though

Nothing would change

Because you were the best friend I had been searching for,

The one that always put a smile on my face

When you stood up for me

When no one else did

You always made sure

I was okay

With your vibrant and positive personality

That was so caring

But now we are

exactly five thousand three hundred four miles apart

Yet our friendship is closer than before

Through the letters and messages we send.

Yet I really miss you talking about your book

and the code names we had like

Voldemort and pineapple,

And the way we giggled when they looked at us.

Because the truth is I miss you then ever before.

The Power of Endurance

Will you break as easily as a reed snaps

in the stormy gales of wind?
Will you resign to the mud of failure?

Will you let go,
or will you fight until you prevail?
Very rarely does the path begin with firm,
solid
ground.
Very rarely will your feet not sink in quicksand
The journey of life is not scenic.
It is littered with hardships and difficult encounters
that distort the landscape into something harsh and dark and twisted.
It is up to you to choose whether to stay strong throughout it all
or stay easily defeated.
You must decide whether to endure
or whether to relinquish.
But one thing remains true:
Pushing on increases the chances of freeing your feet from the mud.
You never know until you try.
Like a caterpillar who has decided to break free of a chrysalis’s sticky walls,
no matter how hard the fight,
the stronger person will fight to push past the obstacles on the battlefield,
rather than giving up and withering in their own chrysalis.
So,
when it comes to the game of Life,
will you play the cards of hardship to a better future,

or will you sit back and never taste victory or success?

Be Yourself

When you are yourself

you are complete

When you begin to let go of what others say

you become more simple

When you live your life

by the positive thoughts in your head

not the negative

only then will you truly be yourself

The one who is kind

receives kindness in return

The one who is humble

receives the true spirit of others

The one who respects others

receives respect back

Live for yourself, and you will be happy.
