Another Slap
Another slap. It seems like no matter how many times I make the same mistakes, I never seem to learn. I keep falling into the same patterns, the same traps, and I end up getting hurt over and over again. It's like a vicious cycle that I can't seem to break.

The gentle fragrance of the candle fills the air, creating a soothing ambiance that helps me relax and de-stress after a long day.

I always Find Myself In My Books
Books have always been my safe haven. Whenever I open the pages of a book, I feel like I am entering a world where I can truly be myself. The characters, the settings, the emotions - I find bits and pieces of myself in every story I read. Whether it's a character going through a similar struggle as me, or a setting that reminds me of a place I hold dear, books always manage to strike a chord with me.

A gift to myself
A gift to myself is something that I don't often think about but truly cherish. It's the act of showing myself love and appreciation in a tangible way. Whether it's treating myself to a spa day, buying that book I've been eyeing for weeks, or just taking a moment to do something that brings me joy, it's all about taking care of myself and nourishing my soul.

Me Against Me
Have you ever found yourself in a constant battle with your own thoughts and emotions? Feeling like you are your own worst enemy, constantly criticizing and putting yourself down? This inner conflict and self-criticism can be draining and detrimental to our mental well-being.

Kindness
The impact of kindness extends far beyond the moment in which it is given. Research has shown that acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient, but also the giver, by releasing feel-good hormones like oxytocin and serotonin that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. In essence, kindness is a form of social currency that enriches both the giver and the receiver, creating a cycle of positivity that can have far-reaching effects. By cultivating a culture of kindness in our interactions with others, we can contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious world where empathy and understanding reign supreme.

Don't Change Me
Have you ever felt the pressure to change yourself to fit in with society's standards? To alter your appearance, your personality, or your beliefs just to please others? It can be exhausting and overwhelming to constantly strive to meet someone else's idea of who you should be.

My Own Doll
I still remember the day I received my special doll like it was yesterday. It was my 5th birthday, and I had been dreaming of getting a new doll to add to my collection. When I opened the gift from my parents, I couldn't contain my excitement. There she was, with her beautiful blue eyes and long brown hair, dressed in a pretty pink dress. I instantly fell in love with her and knew that she would become my new best friend.

My little self
Looking back at my journey of self-discovery and personal growth, I can't help but think about my little self - the version of me who was still figuring out who I was and what I wanted out of life. I remember feeling lost and unsure of myself, constantly seeking validation from others and trying to fit into molds that weren't meant for me.

Inner Beauty
When we think of beauty, our minds often go straight to the external aspects - physical appearance, grooming, fashion sense, and so on. However, there is another kind of beauty that often gets overlooked but which holds equal, if not greater, significance - inner beauty. Inner beauty, unlike external beauty, is not something that can be seen with the naked eye. It is the essence of a person, their character, their values, their kindness, and compassion.

Snowman
As winter approached, my friends and I would eagerly wait for the first snowfall, anticipating the chance to build our beloved snowmen once again. There was something magical about bundling up in layers of warm clothing, donning mittens and scarves, and heading outside into the crisp, white world to sculpt our frosty creations. We would work together, rolling giant snowballs and stacking them on top of each other, carefully shaping the features of our snowmen's faces with sticks, stones, and even pieces of fruit.
