Finding Success in Small Steps

 As I sit here, staring at my computer screen, I can't help but feel like I'm falling behind in life. Everywhere I turn, it seems like everyone around me is moving forward, getting married, and advancing in their careers. Meanwhile, I feel like I'm stuck in the same place, struggling to keep up with the changing times.

The world around us is changing so fast, and it can be hard to keep up. The pandemic has added to the uncertainty, with layoffs and economic instability making it even harder to feel like I'm making progress. But even in the midst of all this chaos, I know that I can't give up.

Sometimes it feels like I'm running on a treadmill, trying to keep up with everyone else, but not actually getting anywhere. But then I remind myself that success isn't always about moving forward quickly. It's about taking small steps every day, even when it feels like I'm not making progress.

When I feel overwhelmed by the challenges in front of me, I try to take a step back and focus on what's within my control. Maybe that means taking a course to develop new skills or networking with professionals in my field. Maybe it means taking on a new project or exploring a new career path.

And as for my personal life, I try not to worry too much about the timing of things. I know that love and relationships happen when they happen, and I can't force things to happen faster than they should. Instead, I focus on building meaningful connections with people, and trusting that the right person will come into my life when the time is right.

I know that the road ahead will be filled with challenges and uncertainty, but I also know that I have the strength to keep going. I refuse to let setbacks define me or my future. As the saying goes, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey." So I'll keep taking small steps forward, one day at a time until I reach my goals.

In the words of Nelson Mandela, "I never lose. I either win or learn." So even when things don't go as planned, I'll learn from my experiences and keep moving forward. The future is full of endless possibilities, and I refuse to give up on myself or my dreams.

When Serendipity Knocked

Sometimes, life surprises you in the most unexpected ways. It throws a name, a moment, or a person into your path that changes everything. For me, that moment came when I met her tiny, bold, with short hair framing a face that held more strength and beauty than I thought possible. She’s the kind of person you don’t forget. Fierce yet kind, strong yet tender, she carries herself with a quiet grace that draws you in. Every conversation with her feels like uncovering a new layer of the world. She challenges me, grounds me, and somehow, without even trying, makes me want to be the best version of myself. What amazes me most is how effortlessly she understands me. In a world where connection often feels fleeting or shallow, she gets me in a way no one else has. It's not just the big things; it's the little things, the way she listens, the way she shares her thoughts, the way she's unapologetically herself. Meeting her wasn't just a moment; it was a turning point. She brought...

The beauty of anime

In my previous article regarding anime, I provided a concise overview of the medium. This current piece is intended for individuals who have immersed themselves in anime culture and are at a point where they can truly begin to recognize and admire the beauty that this medium offers. Have you ever experienced a personal connection to something in an anime? It could be a whole show, a character, a scene, or even just a single line. Anime and movies have the power to bring out emotions that we may not know how to process. There are moments when we're not just watching someone else's story on screen, we're living it. We feel a personal connection to something intangible that we're watching. Anime is more than just entertainment. It has the ability to connect with us on an unspoken level that no person has ever done before. It's rare to see something that's so intimate and familiar yet tackles ...

Minus Two

I remember so clearly the first time I saw you,  proudly, confidently striding through the classroom.  yet sitting quietly and minding your own business as usual. At that moment I hated absolutely the idea of you.  To me, you were the epitome of a privileged life.    I imagined the wonderful childhood you had  with happy confident parents who praised you and gave you all that you needed.   You later came to speak to me and introduced yourself.   I felt so beneath you and insecure.    How could I possibly live in a world with people as happy, confident, and secure?   I resented what you stood for.  But over time, I started noticing you looking at me,    your eye-catching mine, and lingering for too long. At first, I thought I had imagined it and that it was all in my head.    But then I found myself starting to, seek you out,  stay back at the canteen if I thought...
