First Heroes

My 6-year old daughter asked me why people make mistakes and I answered her - "People make mistakes because we are not perfect. But here's the thing, it's ok to make mistakes just as long as you will learn something from it. Because if you didn't learn anything from it, you missed the point of making one. " and she just said - "ok!"

So here's what I thought about that conversation I just had with her.

We, parents, are our child's first heroes. They look at us as if we are supermen and wonder women. They thought we can do all the things great and small, the possibles and the impossibles as well. Until the dawn of their innocence break and our image shatters and all that is left to see is just plain human being.

But that is how they will grow as an individual. Reality will be inevitable to bite them. They will see the flaws, get mad at it, try to be the best, be independent and strong for themselves. Because after the shattered image, they will learn that love conquers the imperfections and the picture they once saw in you remains to be their hero struggling to become their own image.

So it is very important for us, parents, to have that strong but loving image to our children because we will always be their first real heroes.

Everything Life Is

So soft and so fragile
It gives me comfort just to stare in your eyes
It is a need for me to find you
A fight to survive you
A bliss to have you
When I look at me
I don't even recognize myself
I'm so consumed by your fire
That I feel guilty
Whenever I'm happy
And you're not around.
I strive no longer for my glory
But for you.
To make you stronger than I am
Make you brave and independent
So I could peacefully lie down and rest
With a smile on my face in my grave.

Beautiful Kings

Today, I would like to salute the pillar of every home - the fathers.

But Hail! to the beauty of that few proud stars who still shine in the midst of the day to defy the sunrise.

Yes, I'm talking about single mothers.

Single moms are one of the strongest species ever walked on earth because they go in the battlefield everyday in a shape of a woman but fighting like a real man.

So if you're one of us, raise your chin up, stand tall and walk proud, cause our strength is our armour, we should wear it like a crown.

Cause we are NOT just QUEENS, we are also KINGS.

P.s. Happy Father's day to my dad who taught me how to be tough enough so I won't be needing another man just to stand up on my own.

Throwback

An old post from facebook since its Throwback Thursday... And so it goes...
"today is gonna be the day that they'll throw it all back to you" - Oasis

If you're between hope and despair, choose to hope. Because atleast you're happy while waiting for the results. 

The Light that Never Fades

Ok, I'll make this post as short as possible...
Motherhood has taught me a lot of great lessons in life, but above it all, throughout this journey, I've learned what unconditional love really means. I've learned that those old cliches like (mothers tend to ignore themselves and give the last bite of their bread to their kids to satisfy them and mothers' love are unconditional) are true.
I never thought that a kid will teach me those lessons in life, but she (my daughter) did, because motherhood transformed me to a woman, and everyday, it brings out the best in me and that makes me a better version of myself a day at a time.

Happy Mother's day to all mothers espacially to my mom who is my mentor and the first one who taught me how to become a good mother.
