Simply Contentment

My life had so much struggles and difficulties. I think with my very young fresh age, people wouldn't notice that I am suffering problems and such. It's amazing how life is, you live all day and all night solving problems like algebra. Sometimes I think that life is so funny like why we're creating problems that will probably make our life worse and insane at the same time.  But then again, Life can be like a roller coaster and just when you think you've had enough, and your ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go around. You change your mind, throw you hands in the air and ride the roller coaster all over again. That's exhilaration... that's living a bit on the edge... that's being ALIVE! 
Life have so many branches, and contentment is one of them. For me, contentment sounds like a great thing if that definition is true for how you feel about all aspects of your life. But often times, we aren't truly satisfied with the way things are. We want more. We want to be better. It sounds weird if you say "hey, I'm contented with my life!!" (Well that's my opinion haha!) But ever since life was created, people are trying to be more than who they are. Our generation is really developing gradually throughout the years. What I mean is we are not just pleased by a piece of bread. We need loaves! Nevertheless, I believe that it's important to make changes in your life when you individually know you need to make them. You may feel contented continuing to live the lifestyle you've lived in the past because it's comfortable and easier that way, but there's so much to learn when you step outside your comfort zone and push yourself. With that being said, before you make any changes, you have to accept yourself. Accept that you are one great person made by God who has normal problems like everyone does which can be solved by having faith in God; praying. I'll be honest with myself, I never read bible ever since (maybe once or twice) not because I am anti-christ or what, but it's not all about memorizing the whole chapter of it. However, it's about understanding and learning the words of God. I must say and assumed that I am so loved by God no matter what.
My 16th Birthday dinner with my family somewhere in a classy fine dining restaurant located in Pioneer, Mandaluyong
This is two years ago though
I can tell you that currently, I am trying my best to position myself in the big dreams I have in mind. Of course, this is with the help of one amazing God, my supportive family, and my lovely friends. I am proud to say that I am discovering myself day by day, with the help of my style blog (Style & Crave), photography and writing. I'm so happy living my life not too much contented. Have goals in life and aiming what I dream every night. So the photo above was my family. I'd say they give me strength, contentment, life, and everything. I can't live without them.
