Blue skies, clearer horizon, breathable air, and visibility of stars at night are just some of the few indicators that gave the people the idea that our earth is healing amid a pandemic. Many claim that this same pandemic brought healing to this world as people were kept away from streets due to community quarantines/lockdowns. But, is our earth really healing?

Dear readers,
Earlier this day, I finally decided to join Patreon. For those, who are not yet familiar with it, it is an online platform for creators to share exclusive contents with their subscribers/patrons. With Patron, creators can easily mobilize things they are passionate about because of the monetary support that patrons give through their monthly subscriptions. Artistmat a.k.a.

Promises... Been tracking all your promises. Same reasons all over again. Same cycle of doings as if you are in a loop. Why can’t you pursue what needs to be done?

What’s the immediate thing you do to your money the moment you receive it? Pay bills? Pamper yourself? Hangout with friends and drink all night until you reach sunrise? Don’t feel guilty if you’re doing any of these. All three mentioned habits are acceptable as long as you have the money to spend (only spend what you have).

"Be your own competition."
Don't compare yourself to other people. They have different sets of skills, dreams, sour moments, and motivations than you do. You must create your own armor.

"Start with a dream in mind."
Dreams aren’t just wishful thinking where we just fantasize for something we can’t achieve. Dreams are those tiny sparks, which cause the motivation burning. Want something? Dream of it. Let that dream condition your spirit. Start with a dream.

the moment you start your step."
Long-term goals may be unachievable nor overwhelming the first time you draft them. Just keep in mind that goals will only be reachable the moment you start acting on it.

"Despite all odds, learn to stand."
Whatever difficulties and challenges you are facing at this point, keep in mind to always stand up. Life may hit you hard several times, yet you need to stand up and be still. Show the world that your hopes and dreams are worth fighting for.
