Lucky to be surrounded by these wonderful people 😊

This past week alone has been an emotional roller coaster for me. But it has definitely taught me a lot and made me realize things that I wouldn’t have appreciated before till all of this happened. Have you ever wanted something so badly, only to have it fall apart right before your eyes? But then realized that you didn’t appreciate it till it was gone or taken away from you… I felt that way and for so long, I was trying to hold onto something that I knew I had to let go even if it meant letting go of it for only a little while. I had to learn to be strong and be selfish for once, I had to learn to think of myself and my happiness before I worried about everyone else’s. I had to learn to let go for the better, to let things fall apart on its own instead of focusing on trying to make things better because clearly some of these instances were beyond my control. Now that the problem was solved and decisions were made, I had some time to really reflect on the entire situation and realized so much more. Words can’t justify emotions, they can merely express how one truly feels. For awhile, I was afraid to say how I feel because that meant admitting my mistakes, my fears, my worries, and unnecessary thoughts. Not until I finally opened my eyes to realize that I was worrying too much and letting things affect me so much did everything become so much clearer. I was inspired this weekend to do so much more, to fight for my dreams and what I really wanted, to rekindle things about myself that I always tried to hide or pushed aside because I never thought that I was good enough, to reflect upon who I am and who I want to be one day in the future. And I did. Something about me is different, but it’s a good different. The kind that changes you for the better and motivates you to become an even better version of yourself. So from now on till the time is right again, I promise to only better myself and to be the best version of myself every single day. I promise to set my priorities, to figure my life out, to set my goals and find any possible way to achieve them. I’m just so thankful to have you in my life to inspire me to be selfish for once and think solely of myself instead of worrying so much about everything else. I know it may not make sense but I know that only you will understand. Your considerate and thoughtful nature has proven to me that this is real. It always has and always will be.

While you venture into the world and grow individually, I promise to do the same. Who knows what the universe has in store for us, but thank you for reminding me that somehow it always brings us together in the end. Even if it will test our patience and everything in between, I always know it’s worth it. It can only get better from here, I know it. 

An appreciation post to the 3 people in my life who have def changed my life for the better & motivate me every single day to be the best version of myself. Thank you for always being there for me this past year, I couldn’t ask for anything more. I love you, #teammika for life 💕#tbt

Thought it was time for some change. Got rid of my long, boring locks and layered it all over(:

It just amazes me how somehow you always prove me wrong and still find different ways to show me that your feelings for me are real. Even from hundreds of miles away, I can feel it all the way from here. Whenever I’m starting to have doubts or experience moments of weakness, I swear you have perfect timing and rescue me from it all. It’s like you just know, without even having to see me or hear my voice that there’s something wrong and find the perfect time to just make it all better instantaneously. It’s as simple as that but the impact that you have on me is tremendous. I’m forever changed by you. Even if we don’t talk to each other all of the time or as much as we used to before, even if I probably won’t be able to see you for maybe another month, or even if our busy schedules never seem to match.. they can’t take what’s ours. They can’t change the way that I feel about you. I don’t regret the decision that I made to be with you one bit. I know that it seems as if we’re being tested right now but you reminded me to just take things day by day and smile just knowing that I have everything that I could ever ask for. And you’re right, I should just be thankful that I have someone as amazing as you in my life. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I really wouldn’t. I’m just counting the days till I can see you again and remember why the wait is worthwhile. It just hurts, missing you too much the way that I do. I’ve learned so much from my past and have used it to better myself and the way that I used to look at things. Everyday is a challenge, that I’ll admit but at the end of the day just being able to talk to you reminds me that it’s worth every second even those that I spend away from you. So thank you, for always believing in me, for always giving me the strength and courage that I need, for always making me smile even during the hardest times, for putting up with me and my various moods, and for loving me for all that I am. 

I can’t believe it’s over.. But I’m seriously beyond blessed to have so much love and support from people who matter the most 😍😂 From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who attended, participated in, supported and made #pacn34 possible. I’m forever grateful 💕
