自從學校決心推行正向教育，我心裡種種的疑問沒有停止過。學生憑甚麼入大學？是品行嗎？是價值觀嗎？還是考試的輝煌成績？
你我心裡有數。
雖然說，正向教育能夠令孩子更堅毅、更積極面對挑戰，意味著他們的學業成績應該亦有所提升，但是，心態需要時間建立，要等孩子心態改變不是一朝一夕的事。有哪位老師哪位家長不想孩子坐定定、聽教聽話、以最快捷的方法，像海綿般將知識吸進去？花時費力和孩子溝通，建立關係，給他們機會嘗試、碰釘子、改變、改過，值得嗎？

My father was a lover of the absurd and obscene. Throughout his life, he maintained a childlike level of creativity and joy — wonder and awe. He loved fiercely. No expression of that love rankled him or offended his masculinity.
It is rumored that all animals have to venture through the forest towards the northern star for the entirety of their lives. No one knows the reason and what exists beyond the forest’s boundaries, but everyone does so; they don’t seem to have other reasonable alternatives anyway. No one…
喺人生嘅每個階段，我哋都經常聽到一句說話：時間能癒合一切傷口。每當我哋遇到一啲別人無法施以援手嘅心靈創傷，我哋就會聽到「時間能癒合一切傷口」。
No one knew where he went. One day he was just gone. No one saw him leave. No one much paid attention.
Church was amazing. I’m not quite sure if it was the sounds from my brother’s keyboard playing or the message, but to be able to be there on that day, changed everything.

How do you go through your day? Are you rushed? Stressed? Barely present? Do you have a constant list running through your head — of feeling ‘behind’ — accompanied by a sound track of ‘are you kidding me?!’
Tenting this year has given me a lot of time to think over life, happiness, and love.

I love you and I appreciate you. Our relationship has not been neither the greatest nor the sturdiest but I have always lusted for you. I guess that is why this relationship has been such a damn wild roller coaster ride. And not in a good way like the kind they have at Six Flags; I am talking about the ones…
My mother passed away two months ago, so your words touch my heart in a very strong way of understanding and feeling. I believe my mother is not gone completely.

Dear Ellie,
I’m a dreamer and I can tell you that dreams really do come true!
The first months were especially difficult for me. I was living a dream, one of colors, of all colors. It was a different treatment, totally different from what I had always been accustomed to give and receive, especially the first. But those difficulties were always…

Hi Mark,
This really resonates with me and flows with a theory about people that I have been working on which, like yours, arose from the election and its divisive nature. I too found that people believe in institutions (which are the imaginary ideas you mentioned) and live their lives by those implied principles and not by…

To begin this entry, one fact about me is that I dislike being in love, I don’t like the ideology of love. You might ask why? Simple, once you love someone. You’ll do mostly everything for them, being concern to where they are up to how’s their day. Efforts, you have to make…
What I see with you is a passionate woman with a good heart full of love in a world that has not been as giving on love in return I see a woman that’s given her heart more than once yet you don’t feel that your feelings are considered as important you have been shown that you are the most special lady in the world so these rose colored glasses show…
Somehow I always misspell the word “forever”. My mind knows the letters, shouts the order at my fingers who always scribble them incorrectly.I guess they know, know that forever is not a word or a place and maybe it’s not even a feeling to be written on a paper. Forever is a myth, something to be sung at the…
Don’t you remember me?I am the one…
Who cares for you.
Who likes you.
Why?
Maybe the very nature of yours which resembles mine’s quest.
you’ve become not just a person
but a whole country to me
i don’t want my words to be a burden
but i can’t help it or guarantee
i’d like to inhale your entire existence

do you cuddle
with her voice

does your skin tremble

For the first time in my life, I feel I experienced Love.
Weird thing is it’s not the lovey Dovey eewey sticky gummy yummy chummy love.
I experienced the “conscious decision love” or maybe I’d just like to call it that.
That is a good place to start. Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
How do you feel about your father?Do you obey him?Honor him?Respect him?Does he even deserve respect?
Five years divorced, me. Seven years divorced, him. Blind date. Closed the place down. Squealed all the way home.
New love. New memories replace broken-hearted ones. Learning to trust. The process. The tears. The contented sigh.
She is old. We all get there. She’s there. Hard to pretend slow descent. Memory? Eyesight? Wicked oneryness which or all. She won’t tell. She won’t know. Perhaps.
It’s uncertainty. Seems like she’s changing. Doesn’t hear me or won’t. Which? don’t know, don’t know how to tell from…

when it comes to loving
Love isn’t perfection, love isn’t controlling.Love is accepting of flaws and revealing in the uniqueness of each one. Love is compassionate and understanding of life and human nature. Love is simplicity and comforting in its primal state of just being. Love is in the knowing of shared loyalty and trust in its union…

I know that seems broad, but here’s the thing everything is connected inside you.

Perhaps, it takes lot of courage to walk the other way,To the direction of unknown,To the unpredictable path.
To forget the past,And begin the new,To forget the even,And fight against the odds.

To let go is courage untamed,
To hold is for a week soul,
Dreams made, dreams broken,

Finding Home
Stewing in a coffee shop is my second most consistent home. (ADDRESS) is too deeply entrenched as both a physical and spiritual home for me to diminish its importance. Although I’d love to be free from it, that decrepit house captured my formative angry teen years all the way to this lobotomized adult I am now…

Everytime my friends know I have another date within a week, they can’t help themselves not to cringe. Dating life for me more like social activity with a lil bit romance. It’s always interesting to meet someone new with their life story. For me, it’s more like social experience…

Or i think I love him, is it lust?

He’s kind

He makes me ache
