I’m not an astrologer, though, but I do know my sign and its elements as well. Yep, it is a set of fire that somehow can burn the earth and its surroundings. I used to be so obsessed with any kind of achievement, trying my best and accomplishing them all.

Since I was recognised as fire, the beat of my heart reached the highest warmth that turned out to bring back my confidence. The difference is that nothing is hidden since everything seems crystal clear and the aim has changed.

Fire might seem cool, yet unpredictable and somehow can cause unwanted danger as well. To be honest, I do miss the fire element as if no one could stop my walking down there. Allah once placed me in a container that I did not know what the purpose was for, but I ended up being here.

Realizing that fire somehow needed to stop for a while, because when it started to live again, I couldn't get rid of feeling big-headed. Since 2020, I just got into so much guilty feelings. I used to be on time in doing everything or even you may call me an anti-procrastinator, but never-ending results got me to the wrong place.

I just read a book called ATOMIC HABITS by James Clear and 1% of wrong decisions may lead to something unpredictable in the end. Perhaps I still successfully achieved several things then, but they were only the surface that could be drowning somehow. The thing is that I need to keep going in pursuing more and more.

To dive deep into something more comprehensively like I was at uni. I do believe that I can take back what is mine sooner or later. Perhaps it seems impossible at first, but who knows? IT HAPPENED ALREADY!

Even better than what I was hoping for, no one has ever seen this kinda version of myself lol. Exactly! I just found my water element that suddenly came out of nowhere. There was a cue that caused these tiny yet giant changes to happen in the first place.

Instead of whining, I tend to churn out more ideas and appreciate others for the way they are. The phrase “Let It Be” from The Beatles seems kinda accurate somehow. It feels as if you have changed sunglasses into the regular one in seconds by using the water element — and ta-da!

Someone said that we need to acknowledge and stop thinking of others’ minds, it is a waste of time and we cannot take any control of it. Just let it be~

You will find yourself in peace, dude.
