New Year, New You

Embracing the Horizon

A BEGINING OF SOMETHING NEW

Nothing is constant. Even the weather changes day by day and even the time moves in its own own. But if there is something that never falters in me, I think it would my courage; the courage to face every possibilities in this horizon.

As a new year start, I begun to look back at the past years particularly the year 2020. 2020 has been a year of pain for us. We faced our own struggles and challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, online classes, social issues, and more. It has been a time of test, a time of challenge. But despite of that, look at yourself and applause. I want to congratulate you for coming this far and for having the courage and surpass these all. I am proud of you for conquering every obstacles until the very end. Though things weren’t normal yet but I know it will be better soon for we’ve learned.

2020 has become a year of lesson for each of us. It is not a year where we needed to accomplish things and see the things that we did, but a year of embracing those uncertainties. It is a year where we learned from the unexpected journey ahead of us. Even if we didn’t see the future that lies in year 2020, we still managed to keep still and hang in there. In just a moment, everything stopped and everything changes. Even if a lot of possibilites ended, new and unexpected ones also came. With that, 2020 helped me to discover new things and to have a positive outlook in life. 2020 showed me that even in times of uncertainties, there are still some things that we should be thankful for may it be big or small. And I saw that, the things that matter. That is why as a new year starts, may you embrace a new horizon. The skies may once turned black but now it will be painted in colors. It shall soon be white, blue, orange, and even purple. These colors will signifies a new hope for you.

That is why this year, my blog’s theme will be “Embracing the New Horizon.” It’s been months when I started my blog and reclaim my own skies but now, let us fly within the sky and see a new horizon. It may not always be rainbows and sunshine but I know in the end, you’ll see the beauty of the horizon even in its night skies.

A new chapter will now be opened and you will now begun to write your next story. But in this chapter, I hope you take it as a challenge to embrace the uncertainties and all of your darkness. The past may seem like a night without the moon. But don’t worry. After every night comes a new day; a new sun to light your day. Time will make it all better for time shall heal all wounds.

May this year be a year of growth and courage for you. The scars left by the pain in you will be your armor to learn, stand, and grow. Continue living and creating a meaningful life ahead of you. Don’t be afraid take risks. Let yourself try, fall, and succeed. The future may be uncertain but with God you will not be. So believe. He will be with you on this new chapter and the next and the next and until the last page.

Better days are coming. I hope this will be a beginning of something new for you. And I’m wishing for a meaningful year ahead of you. May you strive not to be better but the best version of yourself this year.

2021 is here. Are you ready to embrace the unknown in this new horizon?

Endlessly,

HOW WAS MY WORK SO FAR?

Reclaiming The Sky

THE START OF A NEW JOURNEY

If there is something that would witness my journey, I would say it would be the sky. It is my companion every day, every week, every month, or even in the next few years.

I am that girl who always gets excited to watch the skies turn into different colors because the way I look at it is euphoric for me. But little did I know, the skies also did the same thing for me. It has been there watching me the whole time.

Waking up, I would embrace the silhouette of myself through the rays of the sun passing the window panes. Then as I step outside my home, the clouds are there moving along with time, moving along with me. As the day ends, the sun would set in its golden colors, and even at night, the moon still shines along with its stars. It felt perfect looking up, knowing how beautiful the scenery is. I admire how it was perfectly made that even in its white, blue, yellow, orange, violet, or even in its black color, it is still breath-taking. I watch it in its every moment but little did I know, the skies have watched my every step too.

The sky was there. It was there all along. Through the sunny days, rainy moments, and even in my storms, the sky has witnessed it all. It was like my life’s journey. It constantly changes but in the end, I’ve learned and grow.

Only then, I realized that we all have our own skies. The sky that has been there all along for us yet we failed to notice.

So to you, who is dreaming, who is breathing, and who is fighting, here’s what I’ve wanted to tell you. Don’t feel alone and think that there’s no one there for you. Do not think that in your battles, you are the only warrior. We all have someone who is with us on this horizon. When life makes you feel down, never forget to look up. Know that the skies are always there for you and know that He is there watching you; He was always there for you all the time. God is our skies. He is the sky that will never let you feel alone nor fight on your own.

When life gives you storms, return it with a rainbow. Remember that the sun will always find its way to shine among the clouds again.

And today, I hope you’ll know that in your journey, I’ll be your sky. I’ll be the sky that would be there for you in your every milestone.

So with that, may this blog be an inspiration for all of you. With my affirmation, let me share with you not only my talent but also my story, experiences, lessons, and aspirations in life. Just like my saying, I do believe that we are all a masterpiece, only in progress but still magnificent.

From watching the skies, I am here now constantly moving along with the sun, clouds, and moon. I would like to embark on a new adventure by expressing myself in this blog, with you. In my skies, I hope you’ll find the peace you are looking for.

This is just the start. Now, I am ready to reclaim my own skies.

So, would you fly in the clouds with me?

Endlessly,

Thalena ❤

Solar Eclipse

Poem #1

Never have I fell in love
As much as this
Just when I saw you
My heart beat runs, following you

You said I am your moon
That gives your dark life some moonlight
But no you’re wrong
I am no moon but sunshine

What you thought was the opposite
You’re my moon and I’m your sun
Glowing amidst the darkness
Together with the stars spreading brightness

Why can’t you seem to notice
This light of me that’s shining
Is it because of the stars flocking?
Guiding you in the night abiding?

Sun is also a star
The biggest of them all
But I guess no matter how I tried and give my all
You won’t get to pick me after I fall

Can’t you see how much people
Eagerly waiting for me to shine
In the morning dawn
Or even the nightfall

But their happiness
Became my sadness
For my fears are happening;
The hope I build is now slowly ending

Your darkness is filled with stars to give light
Yet my morning shines but became a gloomy fright
Sun and moon can’t be together
Just like how we’re star-crossed lovers

We’re just two people waiting
Even if it takes a lot of time
For a moment to collide
In just a short amount of time

A random poem I created.

Some things are not meant for you. But still, never falter. The sun still rise even after its downfall.
Thank you for visiting my blog. ‘Till next time!
