Moonlit Kingdom of Dreams๐๐

Words can build a bridge,
But, they can also destroy,
Choose each one very carefully,
They can calm or annoy.
Words carry power,
They can hurt, instead of charm,
Why say something negative
That can cause another harm?
With such a wide vocabulary,
Just at our fingertips,
Why choose to allow hurtful words
to escape from your lips ?
Lets meet on the bridge of kindness,
And communicate with respect
Because, even if you don't realise
Each word has great effect ..

Japanese Milk Tea๐๐ธโ
A beloved version of Japanese milk tea is Royal Milk Tea, a creamy and comforting beverage that has a strong following in Japan and beyond.
Royal Milk Tea typically features a blend of black tea, such as Assam or Darjeeling, brewed to a robust intensity.
The tea is then combined with milk, often whole milk for its richness, and sometimes sweetened with sugar or honey to taste.
Royal Milk Tea is enjoyed both hot and cold, which makes it versatile for any season or preference.
To prepare Japanese Milk Tea, brew the tea leaves in hot water, then combine with heated milk to create a luxurious, comforting drink. You'll want to use 3 heaping teaspoons (about 9 grams) per cup of water. Choose Assam for a dark-colored tea or Darjeeling for a lighter tea.

"Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present."
~Eckhart Tolle๐ค๐ธ
There's a story behind every person..
There's a reason why they're the way they are. They aren't just like that because they want to be.
Something in the past created them, and sometimes it's impossible to fix.
You need to understand and try to change the way you think about them.
Remember, sometimes you only know their name, not their story and we can't push people to tell us their story.

Each ending has a new beginning,
The cycle continues without end,
Life perpetuates through every phase,
Though the path may sometimes bend.
In Autumn we watch as nature wilts,
And grief, her death may bring,
But she is already preparing her way,
To make a comeback again next Spring.
And so the cycle flows with vigor,
Though evidence, we may not always see,
Seek comfort in truth that life's goes on,
And what has been, will continue to be ...

Never stop doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of someone's heart โค
โBittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.โ
~Carol Bishop Hippes๐ผ
โSome say they get lost in books, but I find myself, again and again, in the pages of a good book. Humanly speaking, there is no greater teacher, no greater therapist, no greater healer of the soul, than a well-stocked library.โ

If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.
- William Ewart Gladstone
(1809-1898)
