TRACES OF MORNING LIGHT UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN - Charls Werrol Fernandez

No matter where I am or who are the people around me, I just let things happen even though it is not according to my plans at all. As I grew older, I realized that comparing yourself to others will make it more harder for you to live your life peacefully. And living with a lot of expectations will just add burdens to your heart, so just let it swim, let it fly. Remember that distancing yourself from everything isn't a bad thing at all, sometimes we just need that me time, for us to breath, be alone and discover ourselves even more. From now on, I hope that you'll live your life without any expectations, live free as long as it makes you happy and you're not hurting anyone.

Dear soul, make faith your friend, not your prisoner.
