You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.*
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*

When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

(Shared from a friend whose cup is full of goodness and inspiration.)

One day, we will talk about those times......

That unshed tears burned our eyes,
Those cries that got stuck in our throats,
And those times that peals of laughter rolled out of our mouths.

About our childhood days,
And the bitter and sweet memories
That will linger on forever.
One day, we will talk

About how we shed off
the garments of childishness,
And braced up to the realities of life.

About the promises we made but broke, the doors we knocked but couldn’t open, the things we strived for but did not get.
The decisions we made but failed,
The goals we set but did not achieve, our dreams that went unfulfilled,
The things we want but we were not bold to go for.

In this life we go through stages and phases. We meet people, we outgrow them and meet new people.... Friends come and go with each phase reminding you of a different song and a different smell.
Each phase is so different and as we leave one to the next, you realize you can never go back to the past... or repeat a phase ... it's gone!
Let's appreciate every moment. Let's appreciate every person. Let's be thankful for all we have. Cherish the moment. It won't come back ... ever. All you have are memories...

Dear God,

I have a few questions which I would want You to answer. I do not want to rely on scriptural quotations, I do not want to listen to a priest or a pastor preach, I do not want to listen to a proverb or a quotation that relates to my questions.
I want to have a direct conversation with you. I want to know the plans you have for me. I want to know the right steps to take today. I want to know if I am making the right choices. I want to ask so many questions and I want the answers to come directly from You.
I do not speak out of disrespect or doubt. I do not speak out of frustration or rebellion. My faith in you is not weary and I have not lost hope. I simply long for the conversation that will guide me today and lead me on the path for tomorrow.

yoonmin hybrid au—

jimin was not supposed to find out that his crush, popular min yoongi from music department, has been hiding all along that he’s a cat hybrid. sharing a secret should bring them closer but yoongi seems to have an issue with humans, or just with jimin himself.
> this is a commission out of my drafts. it’s my original idea and the commissioner picked it up for me to finish writing it.

> yoongi is a cat hybrid, he has kitten ears and a tail, yes, yes, if you don't like that kind of stuff, don't read!

> fluff, pining, misunderstandings

Jimin’s downfall started because of dancing, like everything else in Jimin’s life. Dancing started it. The university dance team had a presentation soon and Jimin needed to do perfectly. He practiced and practiced and, of course, he ended up passing out in dance practice

Kirishima understands his objective: take out Sonic Boom. Leave no witnesses. He grimaces at the last sentence being italicized and highlighted. Over the years, he’s grown soft, or at least that’s what Eraser tells him.
“Being an underground pro-hero spy isn’t for the softhearted,” Eraser reminds him as he reads through the file.

Kirishima wants to point out how the last mission was completed successfully, despite the witness, but thought it best not to.

I read the below analogy and really loved it!
#WhatsInYourCup ..
I found it #TooGoodNotToShare ..

You are holding a cup of #coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Now think ...Why did you spill the coffee?

If your answer is “Because someone bumped into me!!!"

It’s the Wrong answer.

You actually spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been #tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen surely), whatever is inside you will come out.

It's very easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

Jaeyong Spin-Off AU✨

Despite of how Jung Jaehyun has prepared himself in meeting his husband, Lee Taeyong, again all these years since latter's disappearance, he was rendered speechless, frozen in his spot as he saw the empty eyes that were once full of life gazing back at him.
NOTE: Spin-off of this Nomin AU

I know that I told you guys I'm going to write Jaeyong NSFW first, but I feel terribly sad at the moment. I think my mood suits this so...

-Quote
-Don't reply
NOTE: Another thing, the "...since latter's disappearance..." of this AU's blurb was supposed to be "...EVER since THE latter's disappearance..." but because of character limit, your boy had to delete some words.

minjoon au where shy music nerd namjoon has a giant crush on confident, popular jimin who’s in one of his classes and plans to ask him out after every class but always chickens out, afraid of rejection
namjoon sits at the back of the class, multitasking: taking notes and looking at jimin (it’s not creepy, he swears, jimin’s just so /gorgeous/ it’s driving namjoon mad)
more than once namjoon’s been called out by the teacher for not paying attention, once very recently - although, to be fair, the shirt jimin was wearing that day had far too many buttons undone and namjoon can’t be blamed (at least that’s what he tells himself)
