Life Observed (Part 2)

1. You can say anything you want, but if your actions don’t match your words, good luck making anyone believe you.

2. Sometimes you fall for the wrong person, and it’s unavoidable. We don’t choose who we fall in love with, but we can learn from it.

3. My traumas made me the person I am today, and they taught me way more than I could ever imagine.

4. Acceptance is key, but so is self-awareness.

5. No matter how difficult it is, learn to love yourself. It's still a work in progress for me.

6. Dating apps suck.

7. Liar, liar, pants on fire! You can lie as much as you want, but the truth would eventually come crashing down.

8. Sometimes in life, you feel stuck, or you feel like you are not growing anymore. You need to start finding what’s next for you and move in that direction.

9. Change is inevitable. You change to move forward.

10. You will be surprised by the number of people you meet who lack basic manners or courtesy.

11. Coffee is essential. It makes you feel alive and help you to tolerate people, especially in the morning.

12. Trust is something you earn, and once it's broken, it's harder to gain it back.

13. Different is good.

14. Loneliness kills but being alone is therapeutic.

15. The thing about fake people is that you will never know which is their true face.

16. Do not be scared to do the right thing.

17. Let people think whatever they want about you. You know yourself better.

18. God will always be there, even when everyone leaves. Never lose faith.

19. Believe in yourself, and you can conquer even the world.

20. Can we normalize being quiet in the morning?

21. You are who you spend time with. I came across this on Facebook, and it says, “Human beings are social animals, and people have a massive impact on us. When you spend time with people who are negative, you will become negative as a result. Even if you are the biggest optimist in the universe: when you spend enough time with five pessimists, they will fill your mind with their pessimism.”

22. Sam Smith’s music is medicine for the broken heart.

23. You can give suggestions but never make decisions for them.

24. If you truly care, ask.

25. People will always try to bring you down or cut your wings, always rise from it. No one has the power over you. No one but you.

26. Trust your intuition. They are powerful. In time, everything will unravel itself.

27. People who believe in you regardless of anything. Hold on to them. Cherish them. Those people are diamonds in a world full of hate, greed, and envy.

28. If there is no understanding, there is no relationship. No matter how hard you try.

29. Always be true to yourself. Never lose sight of that.

30. God is constant. Everything else is just temporary.

31. Learn to take accountability. Do not blame your mistakes on other people.

32. The more I go through in life, the more I learn and the more is there for me to write.

33. If people did not invite you, please have the basic manners of not self-inviting yourself. There's always a reason why they did not call you in the first place.

34. Your mindset and maturity are everything. If you are an open-minded person, it is easier for you to understand and see another person's point of view instead of the close-minded ones.

35. I'll end it with this, "If you work, work your ass off every single day. If you do it with love and purest of intentions, this might be a cliche but cliches are cliches only because they are so true, anything is possible." - Sid Sriram
