Making time

 It's a busy time and I barely have energy to sit and focus on blogging however I try my best to "make time" because I know how good it makes it feel and I try to somehow inspire a person or two while I am at it.

Speaking of making time, I recently came to a very heartwarming realization that it is never impossible for someone to make time for you, despite the busy-ness of life. I think it's important for us to sometimes stop and take a moment to truly be grateful that someone would slide things aside, even if for a short time, just to be present for us. It may be a chat over a cup of coffee, a walk, a phone call or better yet, a video call.

Most times, if not always, we find excuses not to do certain things because we "don't have time", but is that really the case? one of my cousins, who I am extremely proud of, has dedicated time for his health and worked hard exercising and eating better. It reflected so much in his self confidence and self esteem. As human beings, we make time for what we want to make time for. We make time for what we feel is important to us. Therefore, the core aspect here is to find what (or who😉) we love first.

On a personal note, I have always been one to make time and bare the consequences until a multitude of disappointments turned me into one who didn't bother to make time for anyone even when I had too much it. At times it is not just the time that is made, but what is practiced during that time that may or may not add value to those involved.

The scariest part in all this, is if a person reaches a stage where lack of time spent with a loved one results in the shake up and instability of emotions. Could this actually happen or is it a myth? Could a person get so attached to something/someone that not investing time in it/them could result in sadness, anger, depressions, anxiety??

Don't just think about people to people (I know many of my readers aren't suckers for romance) so think of someone's attachment to the gym/working out, or someone's attachment to art or whatever. The concept is the same, could the lack of time cause such an impact?

Nevertheless, despite this minor setback, the 10th of July still has it's value, it's spark and it's importance my life and my future. 

I was asked to throw a hint. Unfortunately, I can't say much yet and with the way things are at the moment, it may take slightly longer for me to disclose the details.

I will tell you this though, a lot of time has been invested, more time that I have imagined and I am beyond grateful. Never did I expect the below to become.......

When the Past Knocks After a Decade

 There are moments in life that begin to shake you before they even arrive. Moments that make your chest heavy, your breath shallow, and your mind spiral into old rooms you fought so hard to escape. I’m standing at the edge of one of those moments. After ten years, this isn’t a reunion. It’s not about closure or reconnection. It’s necessity. It'about her. She’s nine now. A lifetime has passed since the last meet . She doesn’t remember much, not really. But she knows enough. She knows through my guarded silences, the papers she’s seen, the questions I still struggle to answer. She senses the tension. She feels the shift in my energy. And just like me, she’s anxious. What breaks me is how we’re both trying to protect each other. She wants to be brave for me, and I want to be unshakeable for her. That silent pact between mother and daughter—unspoken, but deeply felt—wraps itself around my heart like armor and ache all at once. No one understands the full weight of this. No one saw the...

We Don’t Truly Heal — We Just Try to Choose Better

 People like to say time heals everything. That wounds close, that pain fades, that trauma becomes just a distant memory. But the truth is harsher, less comforting: we never fully heal from our deepest wounds. We carry them. They become a part of us. What we do — on our best days — is try to make better choices. We try to build lives that feel happier, safer, more secure. We choose new partners, new routines, new surroundings, hoping these choices will create a gentler world for ourselves and those we love. But these new choices do not erase what came before. They simply build around it. And when those choices fail — when a relationship ends, when trust is broken again, when stability crumbles — it feels like ripping open an old wound. But this time, it doesn’t heal quite the same way. The scar tissue is thicker, the pain more familiar, and yet more bitter because we had let ourselves hope. Trust becomes fragile. Love feels conditional. Contentment becomes a shifting target. Stabil...

From Bibi, with love

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who has read my first entry and given all sorts of positive feedback. You have no idea how motivating it is and how much it has encouraged me to continue. My mother was the first to read it and without her saying anything back, her smile meant the world to me as she is one of the few people who know how much I always loved to write. Also, it was funny how so many of you kept asking about the 10th of July 😁. I promise all will be revealed in good time. In the meantime, let's talk about partnership. They say finding the right life partner is a gamble, a risk into the unknown. I remember asking my late Bibi about her life with my Babu and the glow in her eyes reflected endless love. They had both come from failed first marriages and somehow found solace in each other. She told me "I didn't want anything else after marrying him". I never got to meet my late Babu, but I am certain he would have had a lot more to say, my Bibi was...
