" is a photodiary I've decided to initiate, compiling day to day events with a snapshot of a moment of the day.
snapshot of a minute in my life, that caught my eye, with a caption of sorts, either explaining the picture or describing my emotions.
I have been told that I never really open up myself to others, and more often than not, I leave people wondering what I truly feel or giving them confusing signals.
Thus, this photodiary, is in a sense, a window to my head.
All my thoughts, my emotions, everything I usually keep out-of-sight, will be put under here, other then my regular blog posts, which are usually not very informative.
Welcome, to the chaos and mess in my head.
I hope you'd find something that speaks to you, whether to pull you through something difficult, or to relate to.
Think About It: Tit-for-Tat
Wednesday, 31 October 2012
If someone hurts you,
It is always easier to return the blow,
Than to be the better person
And walk away.
But is it worth it?
Is it worth returning the blow
And losing something else more important?
We can't always be thinking
"It was worth the sacrifice."
But we need to think
"Was the sacrifice worth it?"
Because some sacrifices we make
Can never be replaced or made up
Like wars
Are the lives lost worth the cause you are fighting for?
Or arguments
Is winning the argument worth hurting the person?
Or changing someone
Is returning what they've done to you in kind worth losing the person forever?

In 365 Days: Run to Me
Wednesday, 3 October 2012
Someone told me very recently,
"Those people who have had near-death experiences, be it intentional or unintentional,
Come back with a zest for life. They understand. They've seen. Now they want to live."
I find myself wondering
"Did I lose mine? Or perhaps I've never had it before?"
A spider can build its web over and over again,
Despite being torn away by the elements.
Shouldn't I stand up again and again,
Despite being brought down by things around me?
In me lately, there's a desperate want to live.
To throw caution to the wind and breathe.
Forget everything that's tying me down and go.
Move. Where the winds take me, like a wanderer.
Can you imagine being free?
To climb the mountains and look for the Yeti.
To swim on the beaches of the Mediterranean.
To dance on the streets of Spain.
I need to find my peace.
I see many people around me living half their lives
Just wasting away, not knowing what they truly want or need to fill that gap in their hearts and souls.
I don't want to be like that.
I don't want to wake up one day to realise that
Half my life is gone
And I've done nothing with it.
I have nothing to pass on.
I want to be able to sit on the sofa
After dinner
And regale my grandchildren and children with tales
Of adventures and experiences and people
I want to be able to have a story to pass on.
My story to pass on.
For the next generation to learn from.
For the next generation to follow.
I want to live a life well-lived.
And when I am on my death-bed,
I can smile and say,
"I had a great time here. Now what's next?"
