Blog and Podcast Update

Sirua

I am back after an unexpected hiatus. Life was busy and keeping up became more than I imagined. After much reflection I want to come back and talk. I did start the podcast I mentioned months ago. I was nervous but I went for it anyway.

I’m so thankful for my soulmate bestie who truly pushed me and inspired me. I can’t wait for the content and for others to tune in and listen. I enjoy writing the scripts and being inspired on what to write in the script. I want to build and create. It’s been a while since my creativity has flowed into something I felt passionate about.

I know at times I’ll feel overwhelmed or blocked when writing but I know with the support and tools. I can keep this going and schedule content on my time.

Here’s the link for anyone interested. Comment and let me know what you all think! Podcast Sirua’s Serenity Episode 1-Introduction

I hope you’ve all been well! I’ll update more soon.

Dear Past Me: Find your Strength

Sirua

I recently downloaded an app that prompts daily journal entries and even dives deeper to give you some inspiration on what to write. It’s an interesting concept and journaling has always been a passion of mine. The prompt “Dear Past Me…” tugged at my heart strings and I wanted to share it with you all. Maybe you too can write something for the past you. The one that didn’t know where you’d be today.

Dear Past Me,

I’m sorry you had to go through this confusing life with many doubts. There were moments you thought and still think where you’re not enough. Who put that on you so young anyway?

Who are we trying to prove?

Did we always know this pressure would eventually find us?

People have and will poked holes. Your walls will sometimes crumble and you’ll rebuild again. But, there will also be people who pick you up and make you smile again. The ones who make you feel safe. I wish I could hug you and tell you it will be okay. But these experiences made us and formed us. It was hard but keep going. Keep pushing. Try to live in the moment and be happy. Make core memories and strive to create them as much as possible.

What do you want to tell your past self?

Podcast: Maybe

Sirua

Blogging has always been an outlet that I enjoyed sporadically through the years. Sometimes I wonder if podcast would be fun or something I’d enjoy as well. Whether it be reading out some of the things I’ve read. Talk about my upcoming stories or dreams that have been crazy again. Sometimes sharing them helps understand it all.

Once I have more time I’ll debate and set it up. For now it’s an idea that’s always been a spark in the back of my mind as of late. If anyone has tips or experience. Always feel free to comment. Til next time.

Story in Progress

Sirua

What have you been working on?

I started writing a story a while ago and have yet to complete it. The lack of time and energy gets to me sometimes. Some nights I’m exhausted and no creative energy.

Lately I’ve slowly gotten back into it. Plus blogging since I’ve missed it terrible. I have trouble finding my niche. I also don’t know if I should make it an adult romance or keep it young adult.

We will see with time since I’m also trying to work on myself and be better. Many unpredictable things come up but I hope to find some balance…

Navigating the Emotional Rollercoaster of Self-Worth: Finding Balance

Sirua

Life’s journey is often akin to an unpredictable rollercoaster, especially when it comes to navigating our emotions and self-perception. The ups and downs of feeling grateful one day and wrestling with feelings of inadequacy the next are experiences many can relate to. In the whirlwind of daily life, it’s all too common to fall into the trap of self-doubt, engaging in internal dialogues that echo the sentiment of being “average” or “incapable of going further.”

However, it’s essential to remember that these emotional fluctuations are part of the human experience. Recognizing and acknowledging these feelings is the first step towards fostering self-compassion and understanding. It’s crucial to not be too harsh on oneself during moments of self-doubt. Instead, channeling energy towards positive self-talk and self-affirmation can gradually help in cultivating a healthier mindset.

Moreover, it’s vital to seek out supportive communities or individuals who can provide encouragement and constructive feedback. Sharing experiences and learning from others can shed light on different perspectives, nurturing a sense of belonging and validation.

While the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance may seem daunting at times, it’s important to acknowledge that everyone has their unique path and pace. Embracing the journey, both the highs and lows, with an open heart and a willingness to grow can lead to a deeper understanding of one’s worth and capabilities. Remember, every step, no matter how small, contributes to the beautiful tapestry of personal growth and resilience.

Prompt Weekend: Physical Wellness

Sirua

How often do you walk or run?

Not very often according to my Apple Watch. But I should be. It’s hard to find time and enjoy myself. Personally I like having a walk with scenery or accompanied by someone on the phone. I’m trying to implement a way where I can walk and work. A phone to catch up with someone.

It’s hard with the lack of energy but I have to do better not only for my physical wellness but, my emotional well being.

What helps you all take walks and motivate you to pay attention to your physical wellness?

Embracing Summer: Healing and Bonding

Sirua

What made this summer truly special was the presence of my best friend. She understands me like no other, and our connection deepened with each shared moment. In her company, I felt safe to be vulnerable, and she provided a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on. As we navigated the ups and downs of life, we found strength in each other, knowing we weren’t alone in this journey.

As the warm breeze of summer wrapped around us, my best friend and I embarked on a much-needed escape. We went into the hustle and bustle of New York City. Being mothers, finding time for ourselves can be challenging, but we knew that these moments of joy and healing were essential for our well-being. Our summer days and nights consisted by the riverside became a sanctuary of laughter, drinks, yummy restaurants, and the ever-so-refreshing boba drinks that added an extra touch of magic to our cherished memories. We sang to Lady Gaga on the top of our lungs in the car, wishing it would never end. One more moment or one more song.

Our evenings here were filled with laughter and conversations that danced on the waves of the water. The sound of gentle water and the distant echoes of city life created a perfect harmony that soothed our souls.

We ventured into the bar/restaurant called Dinosaur BBQ seeking nothing but wonderful food and strong drinks. The vibrant setting offered an array of options to indulge in. Sipping on our cocktails plus trying different dishes made us step out of our comfort zones and appreciate the diverse flavors the city had to offer. Each drink and meal became a symbol of celebration, embracing the beauty of friendship and rejuvenation.


And of course, no summer is complete without boba drinks! The tantalizing sweetness of boba pearls combined with our favorite coffee flavor became our ultimate treat. With smiles on our faces, we sipped away our worries and relished the simple pleasure of being together.


Amidst the laughter and merriment, we realized how therapeutic these moments were for both of us. As mothers, we often put the needs of our families before our own, but these summer nights by the water reminded us of the importance of self-care and friendship. The healing power of laughter and companionship recharged our spirits, leaving us ready to face the challenges of motherhood with renewed energy.

Conclusion:
Our summer in NYC were nothing short of magical. These moments will forever hold a special place in my heart. As mothers, we may have limited time for ourselves, but finding moments like these to share with a best friend who understands you is truly priceless. In the end, it’s not just about the location or the activities, but the cherished memories and the sense of fulfillment that make these days so unforgettable.

Prompt Weekends

Sirua

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Journaling brings me a sense of joy. Not only do I feel accomplished but getting to put my feelings in paper and recall things later on is amazing. Some moments I want to relive. Others I get to revisit and find closure in how much I’ve grown since then. Little moments of joy and ensuring my journey to where I am is one to remember.

Time for Me

Sirua

Hello everyone! Been a while for sure. It’s been an interest past few weeks. I know it’s been a month. But, my schedule is hectic at times where I’m balancing so much that things slip through the cracks. Life happens and I’m so ready for the new chapters and small things to come.

I’ve been planning to keep updating my story of course. It’s in the works. I promise! I also plan to update you all with my life and the craziness that is motherhood. More tarot readings, advice and minor struggles and improvements with my mental health.

There’s so many things I’m excited for. One of them being finishing up (hopefully!) my last term of my Bachelors Degree! I’ve been in school for a little over 3 years and I cannot wait to graduate so I can focus on work, kids, social and gaming. There’s so many things I’ve missed in the name of academics and bettering myself, my future and family. I truly believe this next chapter will be full of inspiration and new beginnings. This year it’s time for me to grow and spread my wings!

Balancing Things: Last Term of College

Sirua

As the final term of college approaches, it’s common to feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. For many, this is a time of intense focus on completing assignments, studying for exams, and preparing for graduation. However, it’s also important to remember that there’s more to life than just academics.

Personally, I am thrilled to be in the last term of college. I have worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and I’m looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead. One of the things that has me particularly excited is the fact that I am finally finding a balance between my academic commitments and my personal life.

In the past, I was so focused on my studies that I didn’t have much time for anything else. I would often skip social events and put off spending time with friends and family in order to study more. While I don’t regret the hard work I put in, I do wish that I had found a better balance earlier on.

Now, in my last term of college, I am finally making time for the things that matter to me outside of academics. I have been reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. I have been attending more social events and enjoying the city around me. And, perhaps most exciting of all, I have been getting back into gaming and family time.

Gaming has always been a passion of mine, but it’s something that I had to put on hold while I was in school. However, now that I am in my final term, I have been able to start gaming again. It’s been a great way to unwind after a long day of studying, working, and it’s also been a way for me to connect with friends both near and far.

Of course, I am still busy with my coursework and other academic commitments. But, I am finding that by making time for the things that matter to me outside of school, I am actually able to be more productive and focused when it comes to my studies. I feel happier and more fulfilled, and I am excited to see what the future holds.
