After one quarter of a century’s lifetime has passed me by, these are the things I learned and uphold so far.

My Collection of Learnings and Lessons to Live by:

Love, Life, Hope, Happiness

What is Love?

Love, for me is…

Love is – all at the same time intimate, passionate, committed, hopeful and happy. ~ Ae Dechavez

Love, between two lovers is, should be - a two way road. A symbiosis of Mutualism. A person becomes happy because he loves, but he would be happiest only if he is loved back. Love between two lovers is not unrequited love, which is love reserved for the Highest Power, for only God can love unrequitedly. Human love on the other hand, needs to be loved. It needs to be returned to find its ultimate fulfillment. I love therefore, I am also loved. ~ Ae Dechavez

Loving someone is loving ALL of someone – both his qualities and disabilities.~ Ae Dechavez

Pain, Providence, and Patience

When you’re not loved, when you can’t possibly be with someone you love, no matter how much you want to, no matter how much you try -  just think that maybe God just wants the “best one” for you. Forget the pain; waiting for the “best one” for you is worth the wait. ~ Ae Dechavez

How To Let Go of an Ugly Past (By Just Saying Three Simple Words) by Ae Dechavez

What is Art?

Art, for me means…

Art means – creating something out of the absurd. It is the irony from pain, rage, even gloom – From these it finds its beauty. Imperfect, but still, beautiful. ~ Ae Dechavez

What makes a Better Person?

Being Better, for me, means…

Being a Better person means – doing Good things. If you want to become a better person, do Good things today. ~ Ae Dechavez 

What is Knowledge and Power?

For me…

Knowledge is NOT power. It is only empowering. The Application of Knowledge IS power. Think, but Philosophize – Act! ~ Ae Dechavez

What is Life?

A Successful Life, for me is…

A “successful life” is – not barred by material definitions. Success simply means living a happy and contented life. Simple joys. Contentment. It is in this sense that anything and everything can be a source of happiness, and a feeling of success, even the smallest things you have. ~ Ae Dechavez

My 3 G’s of Faith and Hope

God Gives Grace. ~ Ae Dechavez

What is your song?

    My faith saying on the other hand (just want to share) is:

    “faith is the substance of all things hoped for,
    the evidence of everything unseen”
    :) have a nice day!
