on the road to mediocrity - Seth Godin

look into

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe." -- Neil Gaiman

revolutionary road

"... the problem with the society isn't necessarily that it's hypocritical or conformist or mediocre, but that it produces people with such a horrible gap between aspiration and capacity - it gives them the leisure and intelligence to want a fuller life while robbing them of the backbone to get it."

i loathe myself.

i give, i persevere and i maintain

i see nothing in the coming except for one

i felt, i teared, i cried

i dont carry the world upon my shoulders 

yet it doesnt make it any better

i've asked.

the universe answered. 

but not some. 

one thing i learnt today was that

your darkest hour will eventually past

Love according to children.

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.” - Noelle, age 7

“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.” - Rebecca, age 8

“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.” - Karen, age 7

shorts variation

The foolproof way to dress up shorts, is to pair it with looser tops, erm, just look at the picture and you'll understand. Lol.

This has been my all time fav picture. I love that its stripes and florals, yet still matches well. Anyway, you can invest in stripe tops, cos they never go out of time. 

Without the jacket of course.

Tops like this make your outfit dressed up immediately. It can be your equivalent of t-shirt. The material is light so it's cooling for you even when you walk miles. 

I can't find the exact picture, but just imagine that the bottom is in cotton and the top in cotton/chiffon material. 

You can wear basics but still look dressed up, with accessories!

Denim shorts and tee combination might work better than cotton shorts and tee.

If you don't already have one, you might want to get shorts in this shade of colour. It goes with everything. 

The tee I'm talking about. It's casual cool. But please don't get one that is like too tight and too fitting. It has to be loose. 

Best when it looks worn in. 

That's about it. (:

self-actualization

i don't know what makes me really, really happy. yet.
i have lots of interests, but i don't know what am i most passionate about. yet.
i don't know when i feel most alive. yet.

what would i do if i weren't afraid?

change.
change is what i would do.
change takes courage.
change takes tenacity.
change isn't insurmountable.

the reality of life

Meditate, dance, exercise, eat well, laugh, play, create, journal, read, smile, love, breathe deeply, pet your dog, think positive thoughts, imagine your ideal future with such intensity that you can FEEL it, do whatever you need to do to FILL UP. No need to sob. Just fill up. :)
