I already knew the college I would attend when I was a child, when I was still in primary school. Right from the first day I saw a student of that school walk past our house, her confidence, the way she carried herself, her elegance, and how her uniform was nearly ironed worn with sparkling white socks with red stripes and a well-polished brown Cortina shoe.
I told my parents over and over again that I would love to attend that college. It became a daily reminder. Whenever any subject about school comes up, I will always talk about it.
The college is one of the best in the state in all ramifications, academically and in composure. I have heard so many amazing things about them that I promised myself that I will do well to pass the entrance exam so my parents would not have any choice but to grant my wish.
I believe it was worth it at the end, I passed with flying colors when the results were out and I was registered without stress.
I can still remember how happy I was the first time I went to school, everything was just as I had imagined it, the buildings, the environment, the classroom, everywhere was neat and tidy even the students where well mannered and composed and I couldn’t wait to be part of them.
I don’t hope people say I was perfect. I don’t hope they say I had it all figured out. And I don’t hope they say I never failed.
There’s just one thing I hope people say about me:
“She made me feel seen.”
In a world that moves too fast, listens too little, and judges too quickly, being seen has become rare. Everyone is talking. Everyone is posting. Everyone is trying to be heard. But very few people pause long enough to truly notice the person in front of them.
If there’s one thing I hope my presence leaves behind, it’s this quiet truth: I paid attention.
I listened when it mattered. I stayed when it was inconvenient. I cared without needing applause.
I hope people say I didn’t just hear words—I heard meaning. That I noticed the silence behind their smiles. That I asked questions without rushing their answers. That I made room for them to be honest, even when honesty was messy.
Because being seen changes people.
It gives courage to the insecure. Rest to the tired. Hope to the unheard.
I hope people say I didn’t make them feel small in a room full of voices. That I didn’t compete with their pain or dismiss their joy. That around me, they didn’t have to perform or pretend or prove anything.
Just be.
I hope they say I was kind—but not the loud, performative kind. The quiet kind. The kind that checks in later. The kind that remembers. The kind that stays human in moments where it’s easier to be cold.
If someday my name comes up in a conversation I’m not in, I don’t need it to be followed by titles, achievements, or compliments.
I just hope someone says,
“She saw me. And it mattered.”
Because long after words fade and accomplishments blur, how you made people feel is what survives you.
And if that’s the one thing remembered about me, it will be more than enough.
What’s the one thing you hope people say about you—and why?
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
We all have that one part of our daily routine that feels like a tiny mountain—easy enough to climb, yet strangely tempting to walk around. It could be making your bed, answering emails, journaling, eating breakfast, stretching, or that quiet five minutes of meditation you always promise yourself you’ll do “tomorrow.”
The truth is simple: The things we try to skip often reveal the exact areas we need the most.
Why Do We Avoid Certain Parts of Our Routine?
Avoidance doesn’t always mean laziness. Sometimes it means:
It feels uncomfortable.
It requires effort before reward.
It forces us to slow down when we’re used to rushing.
It reminds us of a version of ourselves we’re still becoming.
That skipped habit might be small, but the resistance you feel toward it carries a message.
The Hidden Significance of the Avoided Task
Think about that thing you always avoid. Is it the gym? Planning your day? Cleaning your space? Making that healthy meal?
Often, the habit we skip is the one that would make our life noticeably better if we embraced it. It’s the little hinge that swings the big door.
Making your bed gives you order. Reading gives you clarity. Stretching gives you awareness. Planning gives you direction. Meditation gives you peace.
Yet somehow, we drift past them because they don’t demand urgency—only discipline.
The Real Question: What Happens When You Stop Skipping It?
Life shifts in powerful ways when you decide, “Today, I won’t step over this part of myself.” Small routines build self-trust. Self-trust builds consistency. Consistency builds the life you want.
You don’t need to transform everything overnight. Just pick that one skipped routine and give it a chance this week.
Let it surprise you.
Routines are more than tasks—they are promises we make to our future selves. And the part you always try to skip? That might just be the promise worth keeping the most.
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
I just asked my colleague at work this question and she said that the coolest thing or rather the coolest person she had found and is still keeping will have to be her fiance.
According to her, ever since Gabriel came into her life, she has been very happy, cheerful and peaceful because he brought joy into her life, makes her smile and laugh more often. Even at work, sometimes I get jealous because the attention he gives her is out of this world 🙃…..don’t mind me just kidding….. 😆
I have never seen such love, such connecting, and such commitment before, it’s just so magical and I hope and pray they will continue igniting this joy within them and live happily ever after.
Thank you for stopping by and reading this my dear beloved friends. Enjoy the rest of your evening 😊 😘
I am not a fan of podcasts, and I don’t have anyone I’m listening to at the moment. But I think its high time to change the narrative.
I would really love a recommendation for a very good ones from you my dear readers 😊. If there’s any good podcast you are enjoying right now, please let me know in the comments, because I would love to enjoy it with you as well. 🤗❤
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.
Imagine this: one day every year when the world simply stops. No meetings. No deadlines. No notifications. No rush. Just… pause.
Welcome to The Day of Pause, the holiday our world didn’t know it needed.
🌿 What Is “The Day of Pause”?
The Day of Pause is a global holiday dedicated to resetting. For 24 hours, the world agrees to slow down. Shops close. Phones rest. The internet quiets. Cities breathe.
We step away from the noise and reconnect—with ourselves, with one another, and with life itself.
It’s not about doing nothing—it’s about doing what fills your soul:
Taking a slow walk and actually feeling the wind.
Sitting with someone you love, just to talk.
Writing your thoughts and dreams.
Listening—to silence, to yourself, to life.
🌍 Why the World Needs It
We live in an age where hustle is glorified and stillness is forgotten. We’re constantly connected yet deeply disconnected—from peace, presence, and purpose.
The Day of Pause challenges that. It says: “Stop. Breathe. Remember who you are beneath the busyness.”
Because rest is not laziness. Reflection is not weakness. And silence is not empty—it’s full of wisdom waiting to be heard.
💫 How We Celebrate
The beauty of The Day of Pause is that it’s universal. No religion, no politics—just humanity.
Morning: Begin with silence. Disconnect from your phone. Feel your breath. Afternoon: Gather. Talk. Cook. Share stories. Play real games. Evening: Light a candle. Write down what you’re grateful for. Forgive. Let go.
It’s a day to disconnect to reconnect—to yourself, to others, to the moment.
🌟 The Ripple Effect
Imagine if billions paused together. A single day of calm could ripple into a lifetime of peace. We’d listen more, rush less, love deeper.
Maybe the peace we find in this one day could stretch into every other day that follows.
🥳 Why You Should Celebrate
Because you deserve rest without guilt. Because slowing down doesn’t make you fall behind—it helps you find your way. Because a peaceful mind is a powerful mind.
So mark it down: The first Sunday of every June — The Day of Pause.
No shopping lists. No endless scrolling. Just a quiet moment to say: ✨ I am here. I am enough. I am allowed to pause. ✨
💭 Final Thought
If we can dedicate days to sales, selfies, and shopping— we can dedicate one day to stillness, reflection, and healing.
The Day of Pause isn’t just a holiday. It’s a homecoming to yourself.
Is it something you would love to participate in if it was to be implemented? Let me know in the comments 👍

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
Have you ever paused to ask yourself that question—What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail? It’s a powerful thought, isn’t it? Suddenly, your mind begins to open up, your heart races with possibilities, and for a brief moment, fear loses its grip.
If failure was off the table, many of us would dare to dream bigger. We’d launch that business idea we’ve tucked away for years. We’d write that book, share our art, change careers, speak on stage, or chase the life we secretly crave. But more often than not, it’s not failure itself that stops us—it’s the fear of it.
Fear of judgment. Fear of rejection. Fear of not being “enough.”
Imagine a world where you were guaranteed success. Wouldn’t you feel unstoppable? You’d take that leap of faith without hesitation, trusting that everything would work out perfectly. But here’s the truth most people miss: failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s a part of it. Every dream worth chasing comes with lessons, challenges, and setbacks that shape you into the person capable of handling success when it arrives.
So maybe the better question is this: What would you attempt even if you knew you might fail—but decided to try anyway?
Because real courage isn’t about having a guarantee—it’s about showing up despite uncertainty. It’s about betting on yourself when no one else will.
If you were guaranteed not to fail, maybe you’d start something new. But if you start even with the possibility of failure, you grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient than any guarantee could ever make you.
So today, take that step. Write the first page. Record the first video. Enroll in that course. Speak your truth. Because whether you fail or succeed, you’ll still win—just by daring to try.
✨ Ask yourself right now: What would you attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail? And more importantly—what’s stopping you from attempting it anyway?
Can I ask you something honest? What’s that one thing you’ve been meaning to do… but keep putting off? You know, that dream that tugs at your heart late at night — the one you promise yourself you’ll start “soon.”
Maybe it’s a business idea you keep talking yourself out of. Maybe it’s a phone call you’ve been afraid to make. Maybe it’s taking better care of yourself — your health, your peace, your joy.
Whatever it is, I want you to know something: you’re not alone. We all delay the things that matter most — not because we don’t care, but because we care too much. We’re afraid to fail, to be judged, to find out that the dream we’ve carried might not work out the way we hoped.
But here’s a little truth I’ve learned — there’s no perfect moment. There’s no magical “ready” day that suddenly makes everything easier. There’s only now. Messy, unpredictable, but full of possibility.
So what if you stopped waiting for confidence and started moving with courage instead? What if you began — right where you are, with what you have — and trusted that the rest will unfold along the way?
The funny thing is, once you start, the fear begins to shrink. The hesitation turns into momentum. And before you know it, the thing that felt impossible starts to feel like destiny.
So, let me ask you again — what have you been putting off, and why? Maybe, just maybe… today is the day you finally say, “No more waiting.” 💫
