Everything happens for a reason

-

I've got a funny story yet meaningful to share about my cleansing oil getting confiscated by the airport staff in Thailand.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was traveling to Thailand-Malaysia and of course I brought along all my skincare products because my skin was not in the best condition due to redness and acne, so I was really relying on my trusted skincare routine.


As I was getting ready to fly to Malaysia, I completely forgot about the liquid restrictions in Thailand. Apparently, you can't bring anything in a bottle larger than 100 ml. Long story short, my 200 ml cleansing oil got confiscated along with my lotions. I was unhappy because I had just bought the cleanser and hadn't even used half of it. I had no choice but to let it go.


Despite feeling dissatisfied about the earlier encounter, I am still dedicated to finding a replacement for my beloved cleanser. Until I stumbled upon a milk cleanser from a local brand, I carefully checked the ingredients, and finally put it to my cart. Frankly, I was a bit scared to try it out, afraid it would cause me irritation even after I had already made sure of the ingredients. But, as it turns out, it worked wonders for my skin! It helped with my acne and redness, and my skin started to improve.


So, tbh this isn't just about the cleanser that is being taken away from me. But I want to deliver the moral of the story that I learned from this situation. 


Sometimes things don't go as planned, and sometimes people feel unhappy when things are taken away from them but, in reality, God is trying to protect them from potential future difficulties. 


Looking back, I'm actually grateful for the airport staff confiscating my cleansing oil because it led me to discover another amazing cleanser. I guess it's true what they say, everything happens for a reason.

when someone took you for granted

-
I will never understand why, when a human knows something is always beside them no matter what, they tend to take it for granted. Regrettably, I'm not talking about "items." Items like when we take our phone for granted, pushing it to the limit by using it all the time until it overheats. And, of course, you don't feel sorry for your phone because you think it's normal to treat it that way, you know your phone will cool down and go back to normal, and you can use it again. But the most important reason why you don't feel sorry for your phone is because you know it will be fine at the end of the day and you know that it doesn't have feelings. Then why do people often fail to appreciate others, just as they sometimes fail to appreciate material possessions? Why do humans take others for granted after they know we will tolerate them, we will understand them, and we will forgive them eventually?  Have you ever pondered this as well? Sometimes we take our paren...

As much as I wanted to keep someone in my life, I couldn’t. After going through a battle between my heart and my mind, I realized I had to let him go to protect myself. My mind tried to be logical, to remind me of what I deserve. But my heart still craved what it used to feel. It wanted what it wanted, even if it hurt me. But at the end of the day, I only have myself. And  that’s why I need to keep myself safe. Secure. Rooted in peace. Because the only way to get that kind of peace… is to remove the very thing that disrupts it.  You Don’t Unlove Someone. You Just Learn To Love Them Differently. I read that quote from Catherine Paiz (she used to have a family YouTube channel, but now she's focused on healing and just dropped her first book about her journey) .  She said something that is constantly stays in my mind.  And it’s true. You don’t just stop loving someone. But as time passes, the way you love them changes.  Not with longing. Not with desperation. But w...
