This moment

Most people are never fully here.
Their mind is already chasing the next moment, the next solution, the next version of life where everything finally feels okay.

There is a quiet belief running in the background that says,
“This moment isn’t important. The next one will be better.”

But life does not happen later.
It only ever happens now.

When you are constantly waiting for the next moment, you miss your own life while it is unfolding.
You miss small moments of calm.
You miss relief that is already available.
You miss the fact that right now is survivable, even if it is imperfect.

Healing does not happen in the future.
Peace does not live in tomorrow.
They are practiced in this moment, exactly as it is.

The present moment is not standing in your way.
It is the only place your life actually exists.

How often do you catch yourself waiting for life to start later.
What would change if you let this moment be enough, just for a minute?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

I am not finding the type of mental help that I want that can help change my life

There was one time I was hospitalized in a residential treatment center in Florida and one of the female mental health techs that I kept talking to and opening up to told me to make a wish and it will come true. I feel like the wish is coming true but it wasn’t even like a big wish. I wish I made a better wish. I wish that I can have 100 more wishes come true because honestly right now my life sucks and I am barely living. I hope I can get my 100 wishes one day soon. It would mean the world to me if I do.

Mental Health Tool

One of the most underrated mental health tools is writing things down. Not to solve everything. Not to be perfect. Just to get things out of your head and onto paper. That’s why therapy works. That’s why venting works. Expression creates relief. If you can’t talk to someone right now, write. Journal. Write messy thoughts. Write poetry. Write without editing yourself. The more you do it, the more you’ll understand your emotions instead of fighting them. And when you understand where they come from, you can finally start changing them.

Have you ever tried writing things out when your mind feels heavy?

Pay attention to your inner voice today.

The words you choose shape your inner world.

Not just the ones you say out loud, but the ones you repeat quietly to yourself.

Notice how you speak when no one else is listening.

Is your inner voice honest, or harsh.

Is it helpful, or just loud.

Does it bring care into your life, or more pain.

Self love begins when you stop attacking yourself with words.

When you pause before speaking and choose something gentler instead.

One small practice that helps is gratitude.

Even on hard days, softly saying “thank you” can interrupt the spiral.

Not because everything is perfect, but because you are still here.

The way you speak to yourself matters more than you think.

Would you speak to someone you love the way you speak to yourself.
What would change if you softened your words just a little. 👇
