"I have discovered it makes no sense to sacrifice a sure thing (the present) in the name of something that might or might not happen the way I think it will (the future.)"
-a quote from @DushkaAmateur! -- Lovely! Thank you! #Quora
Being scrupulously honest will make your life real interesting real fast, because it will throw you into all kinds of uncomfortable social situations. Lies are the grease that makes life easy. Easy is boring. - Claire J. Vannette
I can't believe the 2week-anguish is over. Did I just overcome one of the best and most difficult parts of my job?! Am I that really strong that people always give me a hard time? It makes me proud to see myself overcome things like this but makes me exhausted too. Sometimes I'd wish I wasn't that strong at all. Blah blah. #JournalYourShit
I don't need those coward, weak, immature, unpredictable, sophistic & attention-seeking kinds of people who walk into my life pretending to be SMART, STRONG and HUMBLE . People who come and go as they please just like street cats. Those who think they know the value of PLAN and FUTURE when they really are at odds with both. And the kind who can never be man enough to speak the TRUTH whether it'd be painful or pleasant-- who chooses to lie just to please people--- who chooses to deny anything unpleasant like fears and worries instead of recognizing them all. Those who reject me when I'm not even asking for their affection. Those who provoke me and elicit negativity from me and make me a monster. Why do I have to deal with people who only bring sadness and bring out the darkness in me (or even in the people close to them)? Why am I even writing this piece of shit? #stoic
I believe that the proper utilization of time is this: if you can, serve other people, other sentient beings. If not, at least refrain from harming them. I think that is the whole basis of my philosophy. - Dalai Lama XIV
i will tell you about selfish people. even when they know they will hurt you they walk into your life to taste you because you are the type of being they don’t want to miss out on. you are too much shine to not be felt. so when they have gotten a good look at everything you have to offer. when they have taken your skin your hair and your secrets with them. when they realize how real this is. how much of a storm you are and it hits them. that is when the cowardice sets in. that is when the person you thought they were is replaced by the sad reality of what they are. that is when they lose every fighting bone in their body and leave after saying “you will find better than me”. you will stand there naked with half of them still hidden somewhere inside you and sob. asking them why they did it. why they forced you to love them when they had no intention of loving you back and they’ll say something along the lines of “i just had to try, i had to give it a chance, it was you after all.” but that isn’t romantic. it isn’t sweet. the idea that they were so engulfed by your existence they had to risk breaking it for the sake of knowing they weren’t missing out. your existence meant that little next to their curiosity of you. that is the thing about selfish people. they gamble entire beings. entire souls to please their own. one second they are holding you like the world and the next they have belittled you to a mere picture, a moment, something of the past. one second, they swallow you up and whisper they want to spend the rest of their life with you but the moment they sense fear, they are already halfway out the door. without having the nerve to let you go with grace, as if the human heart means that little to them. and after all this. after all of the taking. the nerve. isn’t it sad and funny how people have more guts these days to undress you with their fingers than they do to pick up the phone and call. apologize. for all of the loss.

“I see the difference now, between loving someone from afar and loving someone up close. When you see them up close, you see the real them, but they also get to see the real you.”

"I could make him mine. But I don't want him. I want someone else. It feels strange to have spent so much time wishing for something, for someone, and then one day, suddenly, to just stop.”

“Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good! There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones.”
― C. JoyBell C.

Quora: powerful mood-booster! "27 is young - people's lives can go completely wrong at 40+ and they still have to start over with no direction. Just because you get established in life early or in accordance with social norms doesn't mean it will stay that way. In fact if you never have any cause for serious introspection when you're young; something can hit you in later life that completely knocks you off course for good. I was still unsure of my path at 27,28 & 29 and was not following my heart. I also left an unsatisfactory relationship at 28. What if your long term partner leaves you at 45?! You have to have a great life set up as a single person first. Never lower your standards. Never compare yourself to others because there's no guarantee they got it right, and please forget about your age. Just keep moving. All the best." cc Clare from Quora.
