Little things #20
#83. Stay focused and be excellent
It is evident in the world that each person excels at something unique, rising and shining in their own way and time. When one person gains recognition for their talents, others will follow, sooner or later, earning attention for their own contributions.
Think of people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, or artists such as Sia, Billie Eilish, Adele, BTS, BlackPink, and J. K Rowling. Prestigious honors like the Nobel Prize are awarded every year to individuals who've made remarkable contributions. Each found their moment and so will you.
#84. Just close enough
In love, we must be mindful of “just close enough” relationships so we can make choices based on clarity, not illusion.
Sometimes, it feels just too close to be true. That feeling of closeness can trick us into believing something is more real or more possible than it actually is. The space between almost and actually is often where a lot of heartache lives.
It's easy to get caught up in chemistry, shared moments, aligned values, and a sense of comfort, convincing ourselves that it's enough. But the real test lies in mutual effort and commitment --- the actions that show someone is willing to walk the path with you, not just stand at the edge.
Some people come into our lives and create a feeling of possibility. They make us think. This could be it. But if they aren't willing to work together, that possibility was never as real as it seemed. They were just close enough to create an emotional impact but not close enough to stay and build something lasting. Some people are meant to be chapters, not the whole book.
It's really painful when someone is so close, but that closeness is an illusion without the foundation to build something enduring. It takes bravery and clarity to recognize that and to refuse to settle for almost.
The right one won't just feel close. They'll be there, fully.
If I'm in a relationship and he decides to break up, I may not always understand exactly why. But the moment he chooses to walk away without trying to do the work together --- that is the moment I know the answer for sure he is not the right one for me.
Because love isn't just about feelings or moments of closeness. It's about showing up, especially when things get hard. If someone isn't willing to stay and work through the challenges, then no matter how close it felt, they weren't truly meant to be by my side.
My rule is simple: I don't fix what I didn't break.
The stronger you are, the truer the love you deserve.
#85. I wish to be the happiest woman in the world on my wedding day.
Just like her
"Hi babe. It's me. It's finally our time. We've worked so hard to get here. In just a little bit, in front of our family and friends, we're going to start the beginning our lives together. I've pictured this day a thousand different days but only one thing remained the same that I was doing with you. Because I know you're going to be the best husband and father one day. You are my guardian angle she sent me. I just want you to take a few moment to remember this feeling and know I would do everything again in life to be here with you. I love you"
To someone navigating a relationship: You may find yourself confused by someone's actions, signals, or behavior. It's okay to spend some time learning about human psychology if that interests you. But that doesn't mean you need to spend your energy constantly trying to understand them, please them, or explain yourself.
What matters most is being clear about your own standards and boundaries. Once you are, the confusion begins to fade. You'll know what feels right and what truly deserves your effort.
