Some like their bed soft, some like it hard, some prefer a mat, some prefer the floor.
Some like their pillow soft, some like it hard, some prefer their arms, some prefer nothing at all.
Some like the room cold, some like it hot, some prefer it to change, some have no care at all.
Some like an early night, some like it late, some prefer the day, some prefer it whenever it comes.
You must find what gives you a good night’s sleep, as there’s no recipe for all.

I used to enjoy playing in the rain when I was younger. It gave me joy to no end.
These days, any small play under the rain is a recipe for a physical health breakdown.
There is a time for everything in life.
Enjoy the joys of every phase in life while you’re in that phase.

There was nothing about the morning of this day in 2014 that could have prepared me for how the day would unfold. Yet, when it unfolded, I embraced it like I knew it.
There is nothing about the days that followed that prepared me for the yearning my heart would hold. So many unspoken words, too many missed sit-downs, so many unwalked paths, too many stories left untold.
There is nothing about life that has been the same since the unfolding of this day 12 years ago. But I’m still here. I’m still here taking care of all you left in my care, including me.
I love you, Dad.

People rarely seek advice to decide; they seek it to sort the room into allies and foes.
Never advise a person who can harm you greatly if they perceive you as a foe.

Few people give you what can never be taken away.
Those are the few people who really matter.
Many people offer you what they can take back.
Those are the many who do not matter.
Then there are those who offer both.
Those are your people.

Those who speak about peace do not yet own peace.
Those who speak about wealth do not yet own wealth.
Those who speak about joy do not yet own joy.
Those who speak about wins do not yet own wins.
Those who talk do not yet own. Those who own do not talk.

A mirror does not do enough justice to the reality that I am getting older.
But an old friend is a reliable reminder.
Met up with a good old friend today and got a better understanding of time.
The twinkle in her eyes now only flickers.
The shine of her skin looks like it was rubbed on.
The laughter in her mouth no longer runs belly deep.
It is crazy how much life is lived in a few years, how much death people bear.
I met an old friend today, and nothing has brought life into better perspective recently.

The cost is beyond the price you pay.
It is the alternative forgone.
If the price of owning is more than the price of not owning, the cost is high no matter how cheap the price.

Some days you roll sixes.
Other days you roll ones.
No matter what the day brings, keep rolling.

No day is the same.
No experience is the same.
No life is the same.
No love is the same.
Stop seeking the same.
