I’d always thought that I didn’t have enough girlfriends. The kind you go with on shopping sprees and spa dates and girlie movie marathons. I’ve phased in and out of BFFs. Some whom I don’t speak to anymore, some that I took for granted and some who were not exactly…
Think of Greatness like Love. You must keep looking till you find it. Because what’s life without someone to love?

Have you ever wished you could forgive yourself? You are not alone. Many people struggle with being able to look in the mirror and say, “I forgive you.” Forgiving yourself sets you free.

Day 6 — One day weekend
Saturday is the only day that I don’t do official and proper “work”. Every Saturday morning I swim with my Swim Dem Crew instead of teaching kids how to swim, I basically trade kids for adults one day of the week. It doesn’t feel like work work because I’m with friends when I do it. Yes, I still…

Today marks a decision point in my life and music. I do recognize that I’m writing this with little to no audience and perhaps very few will ever read or even follow the stories to come.
Sometimes, I forget to enjoy myself. As innocuous as that sounds, it does actually present something of a problem. While I have been student teaching (an ordeal in and of itself that…

I’ve been feeling depressed for over a year. You never know how it starts or what triggers it. At first, it seems like it’s gonna go away. Today was just a bad day. I need to get more sleep and I’ll be okay. I need a vacation. Things like that. But it doesn’t go away. That’s when…
It has been bothering me all week long, a little two syllable insignificant adjective.

Most people settle for Love. It is the Love of religion and dogma. It is kind, humble, calm, assured. It is Love filled with commitment, responsibility, and care. It is beautiful in its own way. It’s work but it’s worth it.

You are an empath. Nothing wrong with that.
You’re right. You need to take care of yourself and not shoulder the weight of the world.

A guitar teacher of mine, after marking me on an exam, told me my soloing was “angular” and asked me if I was deliberately copying Zappa. Honestly, it was a really boring exam with a really low pass bar, so I was stretching the limits of unmusicality in what I could play while still passing the thing.

October 7th: from me
You’ve made me feel guilty and shallow. I am one of those people who sympathises with anyone I deem fat. I used to think putting on a smile while talking to them will make them feel better. I never stopped to think that they don’t need to because they might be just as happy as any of us.
So now I’m going to try and empathize with them rather than sympathising. Thank you for this.
I tend to envision grand plans in my head, and then I rarely make the first move to even begin the process. I become stuck fantasizing about the end result, the destination (e.g., speaking fluent Korean in months, super sweet dance moves…

The girl you liked? Or the girl who is your best friend?
I would definitely agree with the other comments that what makes their strategy good for them makes it bad for me; at least if you want a life which doesn’t involve getting stressed about another social stream. Like we need any more stress.

It’s truly a good writing. I feel this is written for me. I will graduate 2 months later, but i fail to find what i really love, really want to be. Sometimes i get stuck because i can not imagine how can i do to survise and figure out what i am passionate about in the future. I’m really confused and frustrated at the moment.

Evolution. It’s nice to question things, but we’ve gone so far questioning things that we have to find a soule purpose to life, when in reality there isn’t one. That’s how religion and politics came together and over powered everything else (creatures). Now everyone is brainwashed believing in so many different beliefs. Which is understandable, even…
Everyday I wake up craving to find myself or find someone who will show me the way. Right when I think I have both I hit rock bottom. Being left with negatively thrown in my ears and not one thought of change to be considered. Everything might happen for a reason, and if it does why make me…
The moment you lose gratitude is the same moment you take the miracle of your existence for granite.
Everything had to have happened exactly the way that it did for you to be the person that you are and that in it of itself is something to be grateful for.
True. The little things will have a great impact on human behaviour. They build the character. Will have a long lasting relationship with the person. Even if we give them a skip occasionally, we generate more thirst. It’s not same with the big things. They make or break.
I don’t know what I’m doing. That seems to be a theme lately. I wonder if anyone will read this. If they are, let them know I say hello. And that I’m sorry. I don’t know what you’re looking for, but this probably isn’t it. But I do hope you find what you’re looking for, stranger.
Empathy is not only acknowledging a shared experience, it can also be a sign of love and compassion; ‘I hurt because you hurt’. Sympathy, for me, can make me feel like I am slightly ridiculous enough for the other person to patronise, but not actually engage with. Maybe that just speaks of my personal experiences so far, though.

Not maybe, definitely! So, if the job still exists and needs to be done, how do we cause the job to be paid what it deserves?
In the past, this point could be made with a labor strike, but presently, allowing the shit to pool up on purpose has little effect on the people who should pay to clean it. What should we do about that?
