With Love

Ephesians 3:14:

"Being rooted and grounded in love."

This verse will forever resonate in my heart. Sometimes I forget the 'rooted' love because of the overshadowing cynicism this world has. However, ever since going out of a place that's supposedly called "home", nothing can ever replace my true roots (specifically places I grew up in) and things that help me to grow as the person I want and need to be.

All of us are just like plants. Just as water and sunlight are its own needs, we have our own necessities. And most importantly, plants must strengthen their roots because it is an integral necessity. That applies to us as well. We need to strengthen, ground and humble ourselves to the things we call as our, "beginnings". Therefore, there's always going to be something that's going to draw you back to where your roots are. Moving from one place to another (or one state to another) is never easy. It's a refreshing experience but at the same time it's nerve-wracking. However I realized that as I grew older, I started to appreciate the cultures I've been exposed to and the many people I met in the process of moving to places. But not going back to the places I left my imprint on, it was tough. That's why even if this would be a short lived fresh start, it is nevertheless a new beginning for me. A clean slate, with windows and doors opening my mind.

So if I'm going to be honest, there's nothing better than going out of toxic places and moving to more serene places. I was in a state where I was filled toxicity and I felt like I was about to swallow every negative thing that was vigorously given to me. I'm not going to lie, if I didn't have a change of scenery, it could've been harder for me to accept the negativity. But I'm only human, and so are you. We all have those hard days. I'm no superwoman but everyday I'm trying to be a better person than I was yesterday. I'm not asking for pity, rather I see the magnitude of other people's actions. Whether they are good or bad, right or wrong, they influence me to be a stronger person and their opinions tests my own state of mind. But like I said, I'm growing up to be a person I want and need to be. So if this is one of the first steps to growing up, then I fully surrender and accept it.

With that being said, from the feeling of belongingness to a new chapter of growth, I believe that through time and time again I can build myself up to be a better person. And nobody is going to stop me from that.

Sincerely,

Liezel

Now that there’s a new year ahead of us, I look back to all that I’ve realized. Greetings and welcome to my blog! Before I get on to the bandwagon, I hope what you see helps or relates to you in some way, and in this way it’ll help me grow as a writer and as a human being. Enjoy!

Every year, we learn something new. We live, we let go and we move on. But with every year holds true for something, and this year I learned one thing that I hold dearly to my heart: it’s okay. You may be wondering or guffawing at that simple statement of mine, but I don’t blame you. It’s really something that’s obscured or left behind, nothing seemingly conspicuous about it, however through this year that has been wrapped up with feelings and love, sometimes or maybe most of the times, it’s just really okay.

There are certain feelings we do not understand and it tends do discombobulate us so much. But in the end, I realized that’s it honestly okay to feel this. It’s okay to get to hurt. It’s okay to get sad. I always questioned myself and put the blame on myself for these feelings of mine. But I never got to turn the page and see that it was blank. That’s when I got the full picture that that no matter what I write there, it’ll be there to stay. And whatever I write there, it reflects the words that led me to end the chapter called, “A Moment in Life”. What I’m trying to say is that with every remorseful experience you had, or whatever feeling that left you with such agony, in the end it allowed you to open up a new chapter and to start fresh. I’m glad I got to realize this year and hopefully, the chapters I continue to write are worth the read.

Love is a strong and a big word. It's what everyone feels and what everyone wants. But one thing I realized from it is that truly, it’s okay to completely love and it’s okay to take risks. I always found taking risks as something foolish and dumb. Maybe to a certain extent it is, however when it comes to love, there are no boundaries. Love truly is something that is unconditional and no one can control themselves when they fall in love (whether it be romantic or not). There’s only so much a person can suppress. Hopefully, this New Year can give me a sense of what love truly is.

Despite many people loathing 2016, I can confidently say that 2016 was one of the best years I’ve had. After all that I realized, from pain to love, I certainly can say that this year has showered me with lessons to learn; I’m grateful. Yet without a doubt, I still have a long way to go, and a lot to learn ahead. However I have no worries, because time will truly, fully take care of everything.

Sincerely,

Liezel
