Life is considered as a beautiful gift from above and is known to be important and
valuable. It is so precious that every moment we made must be captured rather than letting it
pass us by. I often enjoy this kind of experiences but sometimes there will be always that
thoughts or questions in my mind that what is really the meaning of life? why do I exist or who
am I trying to impress for? These thoughts of mine concludes various of answers and reasons
within myself.

It started back when I was so anxious with my craft and talent in music. I tend to
validate the opinion of others including setting the bar for myself, abusing the pressure,
forgetting the progress, and etc. Moreover, I came to the point of my life where I felt drained
and at the same time losing my way of life as an individual.

Then one day, I have been thinking of what I am supposed to do or what things that
I’ve been lack for. After that, I slowly realized the meaning of my life which does not come from
the people around us but it is within us. Because the moment you embrace your imperfections
and accept of what you are capable of, with or without validation and opinions of other you
already find the meaning of your life.

All in all, accepting yourself and choosing your happiness is what determines your way
of life.
