By the time I Accept Myself As Me

I am freed by the time I fell in love with myself,

So much and always will be.

I am freed by the time I need to impressed no one,

For the only one I need to impressed is me.

I am freed by the time I realized

that I do not have to proof myself to others,

I only need to proof myself to me.

I am freed by the time I realized I am not accountable of their expectations,

For the only expectations I'm accountable for ;

The only expectations I need and have to manage is mine.

I am freed by the time I realized that my competitor is not and never them.

For my only and forever competitor is me and myself only.

I am freed by the time I realized

that I have no need to defeat them.

For the only one I need to defeat is the "yesterday" me.

I am freed by the time I realized

that I have the capabilities to achieve my goals,

For my goal is to become the "better" me than I was.

I am freed,

by the time

I accept myself as me.

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

Forever Safe

You’re forever safe in our arms, darling. No matter how bleak the day we’ve had Or how difficult our day’s been going through. When you cry, let us cry with you, When you laugh, let us laugh with you, When you’re happy let us be happy for you, And when you’re sad let us come to you. Because presence and emotions are essential for growth, baby. Both for your growth, and ours. So let us try to talk our way out, pour our hearts out and just, simply being there for each other, alright? We love you just as much as we love ourselves (if it’s not even bigger) You truly are the best part of us & forever the very best part of me. Pa & Ma loves you, baby. Xoxo.

Year 2 of baby’s life

Oh it is year 2 of baby’s life. It certainly has been filled with so many butterflies. Even though there’s still so many cries, oh it is ever an achievement that no one can denies! Happiest birthday, my dear boy. May you walk this earth with a humble heart & an open mind. May you be true to yourselves and speak truth to your world. May you be brave & be strong for whatever lies ahead and may you be kind and be generous on life; and on yourself. May you take care of you as well as you take care of others. Oh my humble, brave; my kind little one. You’re forever my favorite person, you’re forever in my heart. With love, mama. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 3 Agustus 2025. Hari Minggu, pukul 1 siang.
