of the things i've learnt this summer,
+ bridges that seemed burnt can be mended. sure some misunderstandings may cause great relationships to disintegrate, but if it is a relationship worth salvaging, just take the plunge. it's not a matter of pride, it's really a matter of evaluating how much you want something/someone in your life.
+ loosely translated from a chinese saying, if you can pick something up, you can also put it down. it's natural that we experience inertia, in fact it's human nature i suppose. some of us do it readily, while some of us reluctantly. well, i guess sometimes when you've tried hard enough it's simple enough to just let it go. we need to open our minds, to new possibilities, however seemingly impossible it might be. let us not delude ourselves, we can lead better lives.
+ we always fill ourselves with expectations. to a certain extent, these expectations keep us going when the road is rough but more often than not, these very same expectations are the things that hurt us. and it really isn't anyone's fault because we created these expectations. we are, really, actually hurting ourselves.
+ family is really the most important thing in our lives. unlimited and untested love, really what more can anyone ask. friends come, they go (too often as well may i add) but family stays. through good times and bad, sickness and health. the bond of blood evokes this unspeakable loyalty.
+ things that we look forward to, may not always be what we desire. maybe it's just the escapist in us running away from the things we don't want.
this is to the people i've lost, today i thought of you.
