Halfway Through

We are halfway through the year already and it felt like time flew too fast for my liking. But, as I skimmed my previous journal entries , I realized that I lived a fun-filled life so far. I tried new things, met up with old friends, hanged out with new friends, and just finally get out of my bubble after years of being alone, by choice.

Sure, I might have purchased some things that social media influenced me into buying despite not having TikTok or Instagram. Because I will not buy a digital camera again if I have not seen YouTube videos about it. I mean, I do not have an Instagram account to post pictures in but I still love scrolling through photos of my life. Now, I am obsessed with printing pictures like the old times. But that is another story.

Anyway, my point is sometimes the first thought that comes up in our minds is not actually true. Sometimes, our own brain plays tricks on us. Sometimes our own thoughts lie to us. I know that there is a deeper reason for that phenomenon, but the quickest way for us to get through the #horrors of life is to pause.

Pause, take a step back, one deep breath sometimes help. Just stop for a while and appreciate what you already have. Sometimes we forget about the smallest things because we are so busy chasing. Chasing our dreams, chasing deadlines, chasing people. Isn't it exhausting?

I hope the second half of this year will not disappoint. I do not expect it to be better, nor am I expecting for a miracle. But I want it to have meaning. I wish the rest of this year will at least give us faith for the future.
