Found something inspirational today and thought it'd be a good idea to share it. :)

"It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind; how the observation of last year seems childish, superficial; how this year — even this week — even with this new phrase — it seems to us that we have grown to a new maturity. It may be a fallacious persuasion, but at least it is stimulating, and so long as it persists, one does not stagnate."


~Vita Sackville-West~

The worst year

If only If only you knew What I knew Of trust And betrayal If only you felt What I felt The agony And despair Most people would probably say that 2020 is like the worst year ever, right? This year has been plagued with one tragedy after another and we are only halfway through it! Anyway, the following is an unpopular opinion of a particular guy: 2019 is actually way worse. Now before you go after him with pitchforks and torches, please allow him to provide you with the context in which such a statement would make total sense.  "OK Google/ Hey Siri, play I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith." On the fateful day that is 2 June 2019, he was having home-cooked noodles at her place as breakfast while brooding over his postgraduate study. You see, he had an appointment the next day with his supervisor and the lack of progress on the writing of his literature review had been weighing him down for weeks. Then it happened. "Let's break up." It must have taken his brain...

Life is like a dream

Life is like a dream, isn’t it? Everything comes and goes before you knew it. Most of the times, we can’t really recall what we dreamt of the previous minute when we were fast asleep and yet, we had already woke up from it. Be that as it may, there were still dreams where you’ll never forget, not while you can still breathe. Some of them consist of nightmares while the rest, or rather most of them, were sweet dreams. Nobody can stay awake for their whole life; one must take a rest and sleep. However, it is also impossible for one to fell asleep all the time either. I know it sounds contradicted but that is the fact. Dreams can’t be programmed, unlike the computer. Therefore, it is similar to life: it is at some point yours’, but not exactly yours actually. @.@” When I am having a nightmare, I would say to myself:” Oh, what a dream!? I wonder how long this will last”. It is interesting because the answer that it expected ( which is:” Not for very long, I should think”) always appears wh...

感慨

大学毕业以后，人生进入了另一个阶段。在这人生旅途中，很幸运的遇到了许多一直以来包容我、扶持我的人；或者是家人、朋友、又或者是陌生的一张脸孔，这一切都不重要。 在累积美好回忆的当儿，岁月的流逝难免还是会为这短暂的人生带来一些些的感慨，毕竟完美这回事终究是可望不可及，一味的执著只会让所有事情更加的不堪。 旧地重游，曾经多么熟悉的一切竟然人事已非，叫人怎么不叹息岁月匆匆啊？道别后，昔日的情人知己尽已分道扬镳：有的事业有成、有的结婚生子、更有的两者皆如意。在为大家高兴的当儿，失落的心情也静悄悄的潜入了心里。虽然说这些年来都过得很好，却始终抹不去那一份若有所失的感觉。偶尔会不禁地问问自己，生命到底有什么意义。看来，我又开始情绪化了。 打从踏入职场后，悠闲似乎离得我好远好远。有些时候我真的好想放下肩上扛着的重担歇一歇，甚至是放下一切远走高飞我也在所不惜，走得越远越好。但人总是得活在现实中，即使我有多么的不愿，职责还是得要履行，且不单是为了我自己，也同时为家人、朋友、社会等的前途而打拼。衷心地希望有一天所付出的一切会为世界带来一丁点的美好，哪怕它有多渺小。值得与否，至少努力过就好。 懂我的人应该都知道我是多么的虚伪，为了保护自己而时常戴上不同的面具迎人。话说回来，知道了又如何？人，就是得随机应变，在这适者生存的社会里，更为如此。最近常把因果这词挂在嘴边，不是因为我害怕会遭天谴，也并非我奢望得到什么回报。简单来说，我从小就被灌输类似的一个概念：得饶人处且饶人；处在相同的情况下你希望他人如何对待你，你便如何对待他人。讽刺的是，如此一个概念常让我陷入为难中，尤其是当情况不允许我仁慈的时候，我却偏偏很不下心来。看来，要把这本性移掉的话恐怕非请愚公不可了。坦白说，我还是与周公交情较为深厚，所以狠心这一回事还是算了吧。 无论一个人言行上有多坏多冷酷，他的内心深处还是渴望着被疼爱与珍惜。不要放弃希望，更不要为了一些无谓的事情而迷失了自己。要知道，快乐并不全取自于自身的享受，而是在于将喜悦分享给他人当中。 P.S. 原以为想在此宣泄一下情绪，没想到中途却转了念，像个老人般地谈起人生来。无论如何，愿有缘听我倾诉的你生命中的每一天都是那么的美好。 :)
