Would you become better today instead of looking back at your past self-regrets and feeling unwanted?

A lot of choices have been rough during the pursuit. Lately you’ve been chasing yellow tulips, yet harsh winds drag both of us apart. You tried to think the best of you was enough. Well, life gives a bitter sour lemon ride you cannot imagine. It was tragic.

Imagine yourself, doing what you love then suddenly burning out because some things matter aside from what you wanted to do. Beyond what’s been a path of passion and success, comes with ferocious cloud of haze carrying a dark cumulonimbus cloud

Signs of a thunderstorm? More like struggles will be brewing mad.

Question yourself.

“Would it be great to fight back? “

Muster all that courage and take the first step to rekindle what’s been lighted before. However, you never chase yellow tulips in the first place.

You tend to chase blindly, overlooking the situations and decisions that you should’ve made. The shell still sparkles yet you’re still inside. Too risky to come out? Aside from drowning in fear, the smoke from your burnout suffocates your lungs, halting your movement to act in succession.

Nevertheless, you have the determination to retaliate. What better action than to face those challenges head on?

To come out of oneself is to create an opening. Everybody has their waves of battle, and you’re also one of them. Your decision matters; you are the captain of your own boat.

Get out of that shell and unleash your potential with confidence and elegance. Show the real you that has been quite caged in the shackles of your own mind. Let your heart beat the way it did and keep the burning passion alive. Walk proudly and get a grip on the things you hold today. Tell the people, that this is not how your story ends, but this is how you are reborn to be better.

Take the leap with courage; from there you will catch my yellow tulip

Ultimately, you realized that you grow best when you face struggles. You’ve been tenacious in your actions. Remember, struggles are surprising, but happiness also comes with time, as we become less expecting.
