Happy Words (2019) - Lisa JY Tan

Sometimes, some people say some words and that made me smile for ages. What a delight, to have crossed paths with these wonderful souls.

“I hope you never change your way of thinking. People like you are the ones that change the world.”

Took an afternoon to head to the beach for a nice tan and some quiet time with my book. Made a new friend from Argentina and we talked about culture and values of South America vs Asia. It was fun.

“Actually whatever you decide to do, you are going to be the best. Look at you. Never ending energy. Always growing. Spreading knowledge.”

Sometimes when I am losing faith, the universe sends people with the kindest words to encourage me to keep going. Truly too blessed with amazing people!

My mountain and my rock, E never fails to be my cheerleader when I get seriously discouraged by the immense amount of things I don’t know and feel that I am not good enough in many ways. I’m grateful.

“I really like your ideas and thoughts! They seem to be a catalyst for getting me thinking wider and further”

Open debates and discussions with new perspectives is what long chats are about, isn’t it!

No idea how we got to this topic, but that’s one of my absolute favourite things anyone has said to me.

“I’m on the plane going back HOME. But you are home in a way. … You are one of the most incredibly beautiful humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and sharing my time with.”

Home is never a place. Home are people.

“I called to tell you I love you. I want you to feel very loved today. You should feel very loved every day.”

Happy anniversary
Even though we can’t be together
Here in my heart you’ll stay forever

“Lisa, it is lovely being extrovert. Smiling, and just YOU. Thank you so much for being YOU. I really like all your tweets, they come from your soul, and all your messages.”

Happiness overflow!

“This is the second way you have impacted my life. You are on a roll.”

One of the things I want to achieve in life is to positively impact 3 people. In the way they take actionable steps towards something good. I think I found person 1.

“Fortunately for you, you have a mind that can handle it and so much more.”

This is what I meant by some days when I have less faith in myself, the universe sends a soul to remind me of the faith they have.

“For all the shit we went through. You have been the most amazing friend. The most amazing girlfriend. The most amazing person I’ve had the pleasure of letting into my life at the most deepest levels. You’ve seen me at some of my best. You’ve seen me at some of my worst. And you still feel like the person I can always always turn to in any situation. I love you very much. I miss you very much. And I will always be here for you and be your guiding star. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being in my life.❤”

Do you want to make me cry? Because that is how I am bawling. I’m so grateful for my guiding star and my mountain of support. I’m the luckiest person ever.

“Hey Lisa, doubt plagues us all at times but don’t let it get you. The work I’ve seen from you regarding your research into tokenomics as well as the way you curate and make the information available is second to none. … Please don’t get discouraged. Keep up your awesome work. :-)”

How is it possible that everyone is genuinely so wonderful, kind and nice? I’m grateful for the kind words and happy reminders. And grateful for the kindness in people.

“I’m having so much fun, I don’t want the night to end.”

I value time very highly. It warms my little heart when someone tells me that they enjoy their time spent with me. It makes me feel extremely valued and appreciated.

“You are so much stronger than you think you are, Lisa”

Above all, I’m always most grateful to people. Sometimes when I have doubts and I lose faith in myself, people tell me the words that I am for-getting what I have already known. Was feeling down and was waiting on the good times to come. I know all I needed was time and just be patient with time. Thankfully for me, I had my 2 love of my lives (V&E) and my girl (girlfriends/sisters are the best) to be with me, even when they live 10,000miles away. I’m grateful when I lack the strength inside, they are my strength on the outside.
