Maya Angelou Quote

What’s Up With Me?

I was supposed to go pick up my new backup glasses in case I sit on these ones or something lol. Which funny enough I have already sat on it but a few years ago and now they’re a little crooked. I’m using an old frame by the way that’s why.

I really like this quote by Maya Angelou (to be fair I love all her quotes and writing that I’ve read so far). Sometimes, when life gets tough I tend to end up feeling really defeated or like I should give up. But I think it’s important for us to remember that things change all the time. Those bad times, the bad people, they won’t last forever. Life is filled with ups and downs. That’s a constant. But we can’t let the downs stop us from getting back up and living the best life we can. It’s not over till we stop trying.

In other news, I have a therapy session tomorrow which I’m looking forward to and honestly need.

What I’m Listening To This Week:

I think coincidentally, this song goes very well with this week’s quote.

What are your thoughts on this Maya Angelou quote? What are you listening to this week? How was the last week for you? Any plans for this week? Let me know in the comments because I would absolutely love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    Hi Pooja, what an optimistic quote. I have encountered a few defeats ( lol who counts? ) and now it’s time to start it all over again as if nothing ever happened before. Put on a big smile and do it again as if you are still 26. I tried it, it really works. Sometimes.
    I’m listening to this long trek I found online, it’s very powerful, it changes your mood completely:

      Yes, I think we all have our own defeats that we’ve encountered. All we can do is smile and do our best.

      I loved the music, it was lovely. Made my soul feel better. Oh nice, finally some sun and enjoyment. Hope this week goes well too.

    Keep your head up, Pooja. You are right; life does get really hard sometimes, but the the only constant in life is change. That means if things are bad, they can get better.

    Also, that song pick DOES match really well. Talk about an epic wig snatch moment lol. I hadn’t listened to Alicia Keys in a while.

      Thanks so much. Yes, life has ups and downs but we have to be strong.

      For real, such a coincidence when the quote and music matches. I hadn’t listened to Alicia Keys in ages too but this song popped up in my recommendations and I remembered how much I loved it.

    That’s right. Bad times won’t last. One day it will look like it was a hundred years ago. Learn from defeat, perhaps change direction or learn something new, but don’t give up. It is a good quote.

    I really like the quote. I bought really expensive glasses frames ($900) that were advertised as virtually indestructible. The frames hold up well but one of the progressive lenses keeps popping out. They put the lens back in for free the first two years, but now I am afraid to take them outside the house in case I lose the lens, lol.

    Last week was quite tough, I thank God it ended, and I’m now in a new one, going to give my best again.

    Hope your therapy session goes well 💗 I honestly feel we can be up down and sideways, back and forth and side to side again when things aren’t always “right,” it takes a bit to normalize and purge some stuff 🙏

    Love the quote, the song, the sentiment, and the glasses update! I haven’t sat on my glasses, yet they are still wonky. I actually felt much lighter when you said that bad times and people won’t last forever. Encouraging post, Pooja <3 … It ain't over till the fat lady sings, and I'm not fat (hahaha)! Good luck today and you can't be defeated, you are unstoppable ~ 😉

      Thank you! Apparently our faces are naturally asymmetrical so our glasses always look slightly wonky 😅 I’m so glad to hear that and it’s really how I feel, the bad stuff is never forever. As much as people try to fight change, they never will defeat it. It’s always going to be a constant in life. You are too!

    I never met a Maya Angelou quote I didn’t like! Good luck with your session.

    I didn’t know this Alicia Keys song and like the vibe of it. Could have done without the toxic dudebro at the beginning, but I guess in his own little way he helps set the stage for her transformation (I’m being generous LOL). As for what I’m listening to? Mostly recommendations from blog followers and other friends, digging into the past for records or artists I didn’t focus on including from the ’80s and ’90s.

    I like the quote too. Something to ponder on and start to live by cus for the most part of my life, any failure comes with the urge to quit and that is one of the things i hate about myself, as much as i’d like to deny it lol.

      I used to be that way too so I understand but I’m trying not to just quit anything I can’t be good at instantly. Don’t worry you can work on it too and get better at not feeling defeated when things don’t go your way.
