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.

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.

不管你会不会忘了我,我只想告诉你一个秘密。

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

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.

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

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.

 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...

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.

i havent been mugging! die.. im slacking.. for the whole wk.. im so v dead man haha.. i must fa fen tu qiang.. if not i sure die for prelims again.. but slacking is always so easy to do.. argh im lazy haha..
realized that sp isnt really so bad afterall.. we're just v scared of her that's all.. as long as u dun step on her tail she's fine.. she made us laugh today.. haha.. somehow this just reminds me of primary sch.. when miss ho our principal came to teach us health ed.. haha..
i couldn't tell you why she felt that way
she felt it everyday
and i couldn't help her
i just watched her make the same mistakes again

what's wrong, what's wrong now
too many, too many problems
don't know where she belongs
where she belongs

she wants to go home
but nobody's home
it's where she lies, broken inside
with no place to go
no place to go to dry her eyes
broken inside
open your eyes and look outside

find the reasons why
you've been rejected
and now you can't find what you left behind

be strong, be strong now
too many, too many problems
don't know where she belongs, where she belongs

her feelings she hides
her dreams she can't find
she's losing her mind
she's fallen behind
she can't find her place
she's losing her faith
she's fallen from grace
she's all over the place

bleah.. mugging mugging mugging.. but not forgetting to slack too! i slacked most of my weekend away.. shit.. havent done any maths revision.. im so dead man.. and im dreading econs coz i dun like case study and neither do i like writing essays every wk.. but no choice.. hmm but econs is still an interesting subj:)
im dreading tml.. i guess everyone in my gp class is.. i hope tml is a half day.. coz everyone knows who's going to take over champagne as my gp teacher while she's away.. my, or rather, our worst nightmare come true.. double gp tml somemore! ah well..
well say im mad in saying that econs is interesting.. but really it reflects wad our lives revolve around.. was mugging econs and i came across these words in sloman.. *again* haha..
how much are people prepared to spend on safety: on making their car roadworthy, on buying crash helmets etc? people are wishful thinkers. they obviously dun want to be killed, but simply believe that accidents happen to other people, not to them.

but its a real joy to see our class mugging but noisy at the same time.. i dunno how it happens but.. dunno.. its so comfortable to be around them.. haha.. but there are also certain pretty scary ppl who mug till the wee hours of.. dawn!? haha.. scary.. sounds like when we were doing pw but anyway.. haha.. dunno how they are going to tahan until prelims and As..
oh.. champagne's away.. hope she's doing fine.. we didnt have any teacher for gp.. and guess wad we did.. mug!! gosh.. well no choice.. there's really not much time left anyway.. i wonder who we are getting to stand in for champagne while she's away.. all of us were so scared today.. haha

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
