A street quarrel that transformed my life

However well-meaning we may be, we sound absolutely crazy when shouting in anger. We not only fail to drive our point, but also easily become the laughingstock of others. Angry shouting does not work everywhere. I started reorienting myself and replaced…

The Ghost of Granada

There is a sentence running in the back of my mind constantly, a sentence which is quite irrelevant in nature; that there is no right time for things to happen. For example, I was supposed to write and post what I’m about to about two months and a week back, because that would have been a…

It feels as if my perception of love has changed lately. Like what I would have wanted before isn’t the same as to what I would want right now.

I used to think it must feels amazing to have someone that you can show off to the whole world on how madly in love you are with them. To be able to shower them with gifts and…

Overly attached

In everyone’s life, there’s these persons to whom we are very attached, so attached that no matter what they do to us, we will always forgive them

「日記」- 聖誕假期前夕

下個禮拜就是歐美國家的聖誕假期了，這個假期的社會地位應該等同於我們的農曆新年吧！可想而知，在這假期前夕的這一週，總是有很多忙碌的行程在大家返鄉過節前。而今天週末開始，就是大家陸續開始回家或是去渡假的時間了！飛回愛爾蘭、去阿爾卑斯山上小木屋、去印度等等大家要四散兩週。「明年見囉！」則是近日最常使用的道別語。

巷口

「嘿！你熟這個地方嗎？」。

有時候朋友這樣不經意的問起。一種很簡單的話題的開頭，有時候，問題的意識甚至不是字面的意思。卻會讓我陷入一種不知道該從何回答起的情境中。

其實，這個情境完全沒有所謂的好或不好亦或令人舒服與否。倒是，我好像從來就沒有這樣的概念。要「熟」的概念？

在每個開始與結束的區間。

Minutes

The radio turned on at 8:00. Just like I set it at 23:14 last night, just like I checked it would at 2:03 when I couldn’t fall asleep, again. I woke up and turned in bed. I had an hour and 15 minutes until I had to leave to work. I closed my eyes for just two more minutes until I heard my mother turn the coffee…

we kneel down amidst this storm and hold the face of our child in our hand for a brief moment watching them grow knowing they too will be gone.

Miedo y sorpresas

Algunas personas tienen ambiciones grandes pero todavía no saben como empezar en pequeño con lo que tienen alrededor, y se dejan llevar por la corriente de lo establecido. Esto no es malo, ya que lo establecido puede ser un comienzo para refrescar la mente con cosas diferentes, una base para…

I mean no disrespect but I completely disagree with this piece of perspective. Here is why.

Marriage is not work. Work is something you clock in and out for, take a vacation from and finally it is an old cliche spouted by marriage counseling and all kinds of other people who really don’t get what a marriage is all about.

I am 59 and have struggled my whole life between the ambition you describe and the counter urge to slow down and smell the roses. I’ve accomplished plenty but nothing off the charts. No regrets. The non-accomplishment part is called life. Also a limited resource. Don’t miss it.

Mediocrity

So I’ve done nothing in 2015

Ok I’m exaggerating a little, but that’s how it feels to me. I didn’t graduate yet, I didn’t get in a (real) relationship, I didn’t start a business, and I didn’t grow my bank account. I just knew by the end of 2015 I would be…

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you mean — even if I still disagree (I’m stubborn anyway), I will always be uncomfortable to see people selected for such reasons even if they are happy to do it — I feel it’s so not the way and I dislike very much the message I feel it sends, even if it’s not intended to. Yes you’re right, it is something…

2015 : A time to reflect

Although this has almost been a blah year for me, my counsellor thinks its a great exercise to focus on the things I learnt in 2015.

Let’s talk hypocrisy

There is nothing in this world that makes me more agitated than hypocrisy. Let me begin by saying how much I hate the fact that we, as society, wish to be treated well, while we ill treat everyone else. I hate women who push around men for their own personal needs, and then screaming…

A Blank Canvas

My friend had his Christmas party yesterday and as part of it, we watched the classic Christmas movie Home Alone. There’s a scene in it where Kevin first realizes that he is alone in the house. At that point, things are pretty much a blank canvas. He realizes that he can do whatever he wants for the first…

Yes I agree with you sometimes you feel like you’re doing this and no one’s listening, sometimes it’s frustrating but then when you have people that are following you response to one of your work and tell you how much it means to them or how much it touched them it makes it all worthwhile. As a writer that’s all I want to do is to be able to touch…

Come and learn from Me .. for I am one who comes to emancipate the intellectual minds .. first from the past ages of unnecessary doctrine and hollow directions and burdensome purposes. Only then .. will the Spirit come forward to give the individual a way to build a new perspective which opens the way for every unique soul.

#Life…

I really related to this. My mom died of cancer on July 13, 2013 and I had pregnancy issues. My mom didn’t knit but she did love to enter contests. One of her contest wins was a onesie and she almost sheepishly offered it to me. Years before I was ready to get pregnant or start trying. So I told her to keep it for me. When I was helping clean out her…

Yes. I agree with you.

it couldnt have been said better !!! great article!

It’s sad to see this farewell season. He’s one of the best that ever played the game. But it’s been tough to see he struggling to play. His body can’t follow his mind anymore. After his retirement announcement it seems to me that the games have turned out in something more pleasurable for him.

Heartbreak and happiness

I watch my beloved

So I aam a little old lady wino. I am 77 years old. I used to love drinking a glass or two of wine, but recently it was becoming much more than that. When I found myself starting at 10 a.m. and then hiding boxes (you know I only like the best) then I got worried. I have been to 4 aa meetings and this morning I got the feeling that yes! I do not want…

Thank you for sharing your agony. We can all be more caring and thoughtful, at least one at a time. My condolences for you and family.

This article rings so true. Thanks for putting down in so many eloquent words how I feel inside. I embrace the day to come the heart full of thankfulness and gratitude.

Then where are we supposed to learn all of it from? We do it without knowing.

This is just so true 💯💯

So just now I figured out the meaning of life. The meaning of life is to make your own goal. Into life. Then after that goal… is done make a new goal and once your finished all your goals in life then your simple done with life

the intersection of spirit and mind

Thank you for writing this.

An appropriate weather

What is the appropriate weather for sadness, for that great empty feeling we’ve all had at least once in our lives? Somehow winter seems to be the best fit, as it has already taken away something so vital to human existence, the sun. The grays of winter and the ache of emptiness — a beautiful tragedy.

Why is it?

people judge people on what they got, not who they are?

This is so true.

An amazing article to stop, open your eyes and get your life sorted.

Definitely related. It’s the fear of regret. “But I might need it someday.”
