Why do we make complicated choices?

-

If he has very little regards of you, and of your opinion, what the hell are you guys doing together?
Afterall, we should all be with someone who respect us and whom we respect in return.- That is just good foundation.



...and common sense.

It is a draining thing,

that halfway kind of love.

Those tiny surprises which I have come to look forward to.

As I read through your novel, now and then I will stumble upon your handwriting on the margins of the book. Those neat, swirly scripts- explaining words you couldn't understand.

I love stumbling upon these little surprises. Those words which were written long before I met you, offers me a glimpse of you in the past. I picture a younger you sitting at a desk, pencil by your side and your cellphone presumably ready to Google whatever words it was that were new to you. 

This image made me smile. You even turn reading fiction into a task!

Even then, just as you are now, you have this quiet tenacity which I admire.

Little joy

...the orange in that sunset, and your delighted laugh when I said 'I love you'.

Something to stir up the blues in you.

In front of us is a house of cards.A gust of wind is all it takes for everything to fall apart.

What say you?

"Listen: there's a hellof a good universe next door;let's go" - e.e cummings

Simple.
Except well, this is true the other way round too ;)

One way of making sure of a 'state of awe', is to get out of the comfortable little cocoon that we've built ourselves.

To walk on foot, to explore every nooks and crannies, to expose ourselves to as many unfamiliar situations as possible. 

To not let out lives get into an autopilot without making efforts to provide bursts of unfamiliarity in between.

2 things.

1) An old fruit seller by the roadside, counting each rupee syillings carefully and holding each one like the most precious thing.
In my world, those would be loose change.

2) A lone caucasian man at a congested, dirty Indian wet market.Gangly, pale, blonde and sticks out like a sore thumb-on his face was the blissful smile of the traveller that has stumbled upon a completely new sights and sounds.
That man looked like he had hit a jackpot.

Tell me something:
How do I live this lifestyle without turning into a papier-mache doll, made of nothing but scraps of scientific facts.

-

Learn it, love it, live it.

This is true, you know.

The thing about trying to study using lecture slides is that my cursor tend to wander through long forgotten folders instead of the one marked 'Lectures'.

In this case, stash of favourite post-secrets from 2009.

Beatles FTW!

"How does it feel to be

one of the beautiful people?

Now that you know who you are"

What are you searching for?

-

Of big boats like floating house, fishing rods and board games, secluded waterfall and long hikes.

This is one advice I'm going to heed. Smart kid :)

Self reflection.

Every word that comes out of our mouth, every action, every task undertaken,

hanya tuan punya hati yang tahu niat.

Whether it is genuine, or it is to prove ourselves, or to let out our anger, or to deliberately humiliate someone else, or whatever.

So, on a scale of one to ten, how rotten is your heart?
