BOND.

It isn't often that I let you know how grateful I am to have you in my life. Just because I don't always say it, doesn't mean I don't think about it, because I do all the time. When we were little, I used to tell you that I wanted "to throw you in the garbage" when you annoyed me, and now I can't imagine ever wanting you out of my life.

Time after time you have done countless things to annoy me, things that drive me off the wall, but you fight daily to protect and love me. Other than a parents love, I feel that there is no greater bond in love than there is between siblings. A lot of the things you have done for me goes unnoticed and at times i'm sure you have felt unappreciated by the gestures because of my lack of gratitude. We all tend to take the smallest things for granted, especially those we love. Because I know I haven't told you lately, here is the thank you letter that all brothers deserve every once in a blue moon.

I want to first off thank you for being my life long playmate and best friend. Even when I ripped every toy you had apart and busted your favorite things, you returned to me hours later with a smile. You've held my hand when I've fallen since day one.

I love being the one that you turn to for advice on girls or school. Being your older sister means teaching you the lessons I have learned from my own mistakes. I hope that my advice has helped you over the years.

Thank you for reminding me always that I matter. You've always been able to tell if there is something wrong and bring me back into my happiest place. Whether it be from teasing me till I pee or making funny faces till I crack a smile, you've always found a way. You bring me back down a level of understanding when I do not see things clearly. You've also reminded me in times, that I am not the only one that matters. you've kept me straight and given me a reality check when I needed it most.

You've given me a sense of pride to call you my brother with all your achievements and drive to out do the limits that those set in front of you.

I want to thank you for always being my ride home. For being a much better cook than I am, and for making me dinner when I am tired of eating the same thing for the 5th day in a row. For hanging out with me when I am bored, for listening to my problems and offering advice, and for making me laugh– but most importantly, for being you.

And while i'm thanking you, I would also like to throw in a apology for the times I've let you down, hurt you, or over looked just how much you do as my brother. My favorite part of being your sister has always been how you can take with great pride the thank you I didn't give but know I meant.

I've been blessed with every moment God has give me with you. I could spend every waking moment with you and still not feel like I've had enough time with you because you teach me something new with every day to come.

I appreciate you, I'm proud of you and most importantly I love you with all my heart. Thank you for being my brother and holding me in both your hands with the up most love. While people may come and go, you will be in my heart for a lifetime.

Love Always,

Annoyingly Yours ❤

Lessons learnt!

Hello! from one survivor to the other. Congratulations on surviving through all the global crisis happening around us. Pat your back boys and girls. Well, on a personal note, year 2020 was “supposed” to be an important year for me personally and professionally. So many things were planned and lined up in each and every month. Usually, (if you know me) I am a very laid back person be it anything, but somehow on the New Year’s Eve (while bidding 2019 a goodbye and welcoming 2020 with open arms) I was full of excitement and was ready to bring massive changes in my life. Who knew everything was going to come to a standstill. Being a person who wants to learn or is always keen on taking away something positive from any situation that I am in, I started introspecting within myself about everything going on around me in this unusual time, while being quarantined. And as my title says, I did learn a few things, rather noticed that I have been ignoring or just taking some things for granted...

All Work & No Play, Makes Jack A Dull Person.

“Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend.” ~Lao Tzu It’s common among overachiever types: We like to push ourselves. Sometimes it’s to get from A to B. Sometimes it’s to create the illusion of change when really, you’re just spinning your wheels. Sometimes it’s simply to avoid standing still and accepting the moment as it is. All that pushing can feel so smart and productive—until you’re exhausted, overextended, overwhelmed, or otherwise ready to snap. I’ve felt all these things before. There are days when I try to be everything to everyone and do more than I can reasonably accomplish, but I know there’s only so much my body, mind, and spirit can take. Since it never seems to work to shout, “Stop the world, I want to get off,” I’ve come up with a few simple ways to give myself a break when I need it. If you feel physically, mentally, emotionally, or even digitally exhausted, these tips may help: How to Gi...
