Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
いつか失ってしまうのかな。薄れてゆく笑顔と君を守りたい。

If fate is a wheel, then we are the sand that is crushed between the cogs.

Don't judge a life by one difficult season.

独自并不代表孤单,在一群人中狂笑着有时更寂寞。

At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought.
-- Deepak Chopra
于是我让孤独更孤独,有一种不是悲伤的悲伤,才是刻骨铭心的悲伤。
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
-- St Francis.
People's actions are influenced by their expectations. People respond not just to what is happening now, but to what they anticipate will happen in the future.
-- Sloman
不管你会不会忘了我,我只想告诉你一个秘密。
--《不能说的·秘密》

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind.
-- Deepak Chopra

The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death but when I stand in front of you yet you don't know that I love you.
-- Tagore
Do do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
-- Matt 6:34

まだ不器用に笑うね まだ悲しみが似合うから
キミに降る痛みを 拭ってあげたい すべて I for you
-- I For You

the optimistic pessimist

supposedly an adult, she thinks like an adult (too much, if you ask me). deep inside, she is nothing but a little girl, with her little lofty dreams and ideals. and oops, she is breaking them, one by one.
more often than not, she is just an angsty emo kid.

she is only but
a passer-by,

an onlooker,
a walking shadow.

and this girl can't stop writing.

After all, what is in the past but what we choose to remember? They can choose not to hide it, to take what's broken, to feel the pain and know that it will heal. They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

Others desire to experience the blessedness of giving, but we often frustrate them by refusing their help.

 Memories were also a way of looking in a mirror, but it was a jagged mirror of broken glass, one that cast imperfect reflections. Like shards, these memories drew blood.

Responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself... Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

I don't know, I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I'm a pair of eyes and ears, and I'm just trying to stay safe and make sense of what's happening. I know what to avoid, what to worry about.I'm like those kids who live with gunfire going off around them. I don't want pain. I don't want to die. I don't want to see other people around me die. But I don't have anything left inside me to figure out where I fit in or what I want. If I want anything, it's to know what's possible to want.

got bio spa tml.. got so much stuff that i dunno how to explain in skill c. not alot actually. haiz nvm tml go ask mrs che haha.. we'll catch her during morning assembly or something..
realized today that bliss is simply eating ice-cream and slacking around with good friends. this kind of simple bliss leaves my heart craving for more.
but why sometimes i dun seem to be able to find the bliss anywhere

today we went for class outing!! haha.. nearly 20 of us went.. a gd no. sia.. haha.. but no camera to take photo.. neoprint not enough space to squeeze.. sigh casie wasnt ard if not we could have taken pw grp neoprint like joanie did.. did really do much though.. just ate yoshi and sat ard to laugh and do stupid stuff haha.. found out tt xiu is really damn funny haha..
and we left early to go for the sapphire scholars meeting.. wad a way to end the day..
to be frank, the sapphire scholars prog freaked me out.. its damn demanding.. on top of s papers and cca commitments and stuff.. gosh they really think we have time of the whole world and we do nothing but mug ah..
oh yes and joanie lost her wallet.. we just couldnt find it.. thank god someone picked it up and it landed up with ms tan.. haha..
is life revolving around studies considered life at all? but like wad xiu said: i'll hang on until they kick me out.. (and i believe it'll be soon if i dun do well for ct1)

didnt know how guitar orientation went since i wasnt there and i didnt ask anyone about it.. haha.. oh wells all i saw was the j1s being much more punctual than the j2s. i was so damn embarrassed and i didnt know what to do with them.. and then i had to go for bio s haha..
bio s went by smoothly though we only churned the stuff out today.. no one asked us any qns since i dun think they even know what the hell we are talking about.. its actually uni and beyond stuff.. i also didnt know what i was babbling about haha..
went back for guitar prac and went on stage to practise without even having any sectionals. well at least i could play some stuff for blackbird.. bleah i need practice..
i need to recover lost time..

heard this song over radio today... journey by zhang shao han..
It's a long, long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long, long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong

I know I will falter, I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long, long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through

'Cause it's a long, long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies

When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
It's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to you, to you
