Letter #25: Choose your own change in life —here’s how I do it

I speak from the “real world”.

Underestimated.

Being underestimated is not always a bad thing.

I learnt this back in high school. I was just chilling in the hallway, reading through a book during free period, when a junior walked past me, doubled back and asked, “you can read?!”

Your Creativity Isn’t Endless (#8)

Don’t Continually Tire Yourself Out Doing It

I Focus On Form

Heels strike first.

Rolling to ball of foot. Toes raised, activating arches. Make sure ball touches evenly.

Inner thighs spiral back to make room for the tailbone to descend. It points to earth.

57. The Contrarian in the Garden

They say that if a certain chameleon sees it shadow on the first day of August, we will be hit with a…

Are You Thriving? (#7)

Or merely surviving?

175. Don’t be afraid if you can’t see the horizon

It’s not always going to be visible.

You are unique

You have your own taste regarding food, clothing, TV show,… Your own strengths and weaknesses. Your own goals and dreams.

Trying to be AWARE — #29

I’m trying to be AWARE of my experiences and surroundings.

I spoke to a student at the end of the day a few weeks back as I was walking off campus. He is a nervous fellow and probably gets made fun of a little. He lives with another student who is a quiet lad…

121. Working with somebody and being friends with somebody are very different

I have a lot of friends whom I would never work with.

I have had colleague whom I work well with, but never engage with them outside of work.

In my country it means good luck

#8

I waited at the food stall. There was nobody there. From across the square a man came running — he was wearing an apron that indicated he was from the food stall at which I was waiting. He smiled. I asked for two beers. He pulled two bottles…

Fray

I cling to your threads like they’re a lifeline to the darkness of my heart. All your stories, your passions, your hopes, your fears. They are…

The greater of two evils.

I love Halloween. Although I don’t party like I used to, it’s still my favorite holiday. I’ve got a small amount…

76. Days are passing

Am I stuck in a rut ?

76 days now, that’s a lot. I wonder if I am still stimulated by this journey. Two choices are in front of me then:

Either I quit (I won’t) or I find the problems holding me back and go again in the game as before.

Only 4 Degrees.

I’ve been listening to Anohni a lot recently. Her voice is so haunting and her lyrics dark and brutal. She’s not to everyone’s taste, but I find her music immersive and depressingly beautiful. I am a sucker for the tragic.

New things

I am currently training to complete (and hopefully win) an amateur boxing fight.

If you saw me, you’d probably laugh.

I am a small framed woman, with a toned body but still, pretty damn small.

Project 365: Day 3

The World Doesn’t Stop When I Get Sick

Flu season sucks! What sucks even worse is when you get a kind of flu your shot doesn’t cover! Normal flu shots only cover the three or four strands they think are the likely bugs for the season. It does not cover stomach flu…
