Thots of yesterdays, penned today…

 

Yesterdays is an understatement really. Yester-weeks is more like it.

 

I suspect that I should have married myself away years ago, when I first got out of school – still green and naïve. The love idealist is truly eluding even herself. Then I started thinking maybe naivety is just not the way. Then, materialism is?

 

It has always taken a little more than difficulty for me to place total trust on the table. But through the years, the giving and receiving, the did and not done have formed a misty layer. I think I can see, but not enough to thrust my foot forward. Contented enough to stand still?

 

Like many things, right and wrong is not definite. Neither is it black nor is it white. Gray maybe?

 

Some song with the lyrics goes…now I realize, you dun owe me my happiness…indeed, no one owes anyone his/her happiness. Each of us has a choice. A choice to make or break.

 

I had so many thoughts on this. Yet all I could pen is just what is above. My choice?

 

On a separate matter, tonight’s dinner goes further to affirm a probable fact that I thought I have come to accept. Facing it yet again was a reality slap in the face. Yet, what can I do? Little. Except to keep on believing. In what?

 

If only thinking is acceptance, if only thoughts could be lived…

Hi there,

Some provoking thoughts you have. Think no further I'm just a passerby, trying to share some two cents worth of my thoughts, in a way hoping to offer some encouragement to the seems-quite-lost little girl out there.

There was once I got a can of Campbell's Soup which tasted real bad, expired. Me being a big fan of Campbell's, is still a big fan of them NOW. Even after no less than 10 times of tasting expired Campbell's. Point is, whenever we meet up with anything out of our expectations, we tend to forget what we had initially believed in. And often, we use past results to determine those of future tries, sometimes so convinced of the new negative outcome, we don't even bother to try (how sad!). Humans are not borned with dreams. We go through ups and downs in a particular phase of life, thereafter inculcating hopes for the next phase.

The origin of the phrase "there's always exceptions" was never taught during school time, and hardly has anyone ever offered to guide us to believing  it's existence. I guess it takes oneself to physically experience losses and failures, coupled with immense disappointment, to "disbelieve" what we had originally "believed".

From your writings, I boldly gathered that you probably had been through some terrible downs in your life, resulting in such negative energy in your words. I'm not a preacher and never am a staunch religious individual. But having been through some "unbearable" ordeals myself, I kinda understand the simplicity of Happinese after someone once told me: "Love shouldn't hurt so deep, so I believe when it does, should break away from it.." LOVE, as complicated as it has been since the era of Adam & Eve, was in a way "solved" by judging it simple-mannered-ly back then.

I came to realise that practically everytime, the problems that we face, are in fact consequences of our own complex mindset. For me, it had always worked wonders just by fine-tuning my mentality. Of course, as individual's principles and expectations differ, one may argue that there will be times when things just can't simply be accepted without looking deep enough. Then again, if by accepting things as they are on the surface, can in turn generate lesser woes, why not?

It's obvious you still have a long path ahead in your life. I totally respect everyone having their own principals. Shall share with you mine, for reference purpose.

When we do not achieve what we desire, when we are faced with failure, I will never say I have FAILED. I choose to believe that I simply have yet to succeed, as admitting failure equates giving up, equates changing our original perspectives and beliefs.

Cheer up if you 're feeling down, as it's never the end of the world till you say it is. Good luck to all your future endeavours!
