Living a slow life has calmed my nervous system. I don’t panic over every little thing anymore. I don’t feel guilty for resting. I don’t treat every moment like it needs to be productive. Some mornings I just make coffee and sit in silence. Looking at the sky. The birds. Breathing in the morning calm. Some evenings I stare out the window and watch the sky turn orange. Sometimes I read 20 pages. Sometimes I read none. I don’t feel the need to optimize every second of my existence anymore. That constant pressure to “do more,” “be more,” has disappeared. And in its place came what I actually needed: calm. I’ve realized life becomes meaningful the moment you stop rushing through it. Meaning was never hidden. It's was always there in the little things that made you feel peaceful and fully alive.
The video is not mine but recently, in Cebu City Philippines, these children experienced an earthquake.
Instead of panicking, they did the right thing which is to Duck, Cover and Hold. They also added another step, Prayer.
So always be thankful remember to always pray.

Sa dami ng kunwaring galit sa korapsyon sa gobyerno, magtataka ka rin kung bakit talamak pa rin ang pandarambong sa Pinas. Puro panukala, puro imbestigasyon, puro palabas, puro satsat. Pero ang mga big-time kurakot? Napaparusahan ba? Hindi. Mas nananalo pa sa eleksyon.
Habang tumatanda ka you're also learning to appreciate quiet moments noh? You just suddenly got tired of all the noise, arguments & competition na di na nakakatulong sa mental health mo. So,spend your time in meaningful conversations with people who make you see life more better.
