The Book that helped my broken heart!

 In the last year of 2020 around this summer season, I wrote a blog on my other site and titled it

 "Things just happened"

I wrote there how I moved on but did not include the book that also helped me open my eyes.

"The Nectar of Pain"

by: Najwa Zebian



I was in a relationship when I bought this book, and never in my dream that I would feel those feelings, I just want to know the Author's words about brokenness. 
I only get to read it fully when I was broken. 
Some words already hit me when I was not yet in pain and I felt it more and brought me tears when I experienced heartbreak.
And my favourite quote there was:

"The thing about cowards"
pg.172

You don't have to wait for people
to tell you that they're walking away.
People don't always communicate through words.
Actions speak louder than words, remember?
If they're gone through action,
then let them go.
What good do words do
when the action
has already been done?

Your fear of saying that you
no longer wished to stay
put my soul through confusion and guilt 
for uttering the words 
that you could not say:
"I think this is the end"

And the book gave me hope too and my journey of moving on and this is my favourite line:

"Don't lose hope"
pg.298

Someone,
somewhere,
is looking for the exact same love
that you have to offer.
The exact same love that
the one who hurt you did not appreciate.
Don't lose hope.
And don't settle.
The most beautiful love stories are those that
come after you realize what you deserve
and you actually finally get it.
You deserve someone who loves your
way of love.
Someone who loves you.

Whatever hardships you are experiencing it is either love, family, friendships, or life
remember that this too shall pass. _kenny 🖤

A Week in Camotes Island with Family - August 2022

Since Camotes Island is where my mother was born and raised and where my sisters spent their formative years and received their education, it has always held special meaning for me and my family. (Left to right: Katrina, Kairi, Karen, Riana Karah, me, Auntie Jasu, Mama Nab's, Krista, Teddy, Kynnzo) My family last visited  Camotes Island  in 2018, but we were incomplete since Karen was not with us. We visited again in August 2022 to celebrate my aunt's birthday and to spend our vacation on the Island. First Day : We celebrated my Aunt's birthday at Camao Resort , at Sitio Camao Southern Poblacion, where the above photo was taken.                                                                                     Isaiah Kynnzo Mama Nab's and Tita Menia             Second Day : Our lunch destination was  Masbas Eco Bay Resort , where we also went swimming.

Ambitious, Driven, and Gorgeous @32!

Reaching this age made my 16-year-old self more grateful, and in love with my future 60-year-old self. I can safely say I became mature, stronger, and wiser over the years.  My childhood taught me that showing weakness gives your opponent the advantage,  my teenage life taught me that waiting and patience will reward you with something more than you could ask for, in my 20s life taught me to be aware of boys and never settle that will make you less a person because your mental and emotional or even spiritual health is as important as your physical health. My present self is beyond grateful for all the experiences, for all the people I've met along the way, friends that became strangers, it is really fine to cut people out because not everyone deserves a place on your table, not giving a damn to what other people think about you, is confidence. When you do something or none at all, people always have opinions about you, so do your thing and do what makes you happy anyway. I have lea
