Lesson For Today

You are not perfect

And that is absolutely fine

Rediscovery

Sometimes
You meet new people
To be reminded
That you can
Feel again

And Then I Suddenly Realised

I am loving
But I could be more loving

I am nice
But I could be nicer

I am helpful
But I could be more helpful

I am reasonable in my expectation of others
But I could be more reasonable

I am understanding
But I could be more understanding

I am diligent
But I could be more diligent

I am compassionate
But I could be more compassionate

Food For Thought

If this is what the cycle of life is

Then why do we insist

On taking ourselves so seriously?

Daily Haiku

There was a young man from Darjeeling

Who got on a bus bound for Ealing;
It said at the door:
“Don’t spit on the floor,”
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.

Kudos to all citizens who took to the streets of Kuala Lumpur




Gives us the sense of renewed hope
Towards a better future
Towards a stronger nation.

Because mine is today

And there is nothing much

I can do about it.

Deafening Silence

"Wait I can't hear you, lemme step out for a bit"
 
  "Where are you?"

"At a friend's party."

"It's real loud and its real late. Aren't you suppose to be resting?"

"Yea.. But I needed to get out of the house."'

Silence

"How are you? How are things?"

"OK, I guess. Same shit, different day"

"Life can't just be OK, it's got to be great."

"I s'ppose, I dunno.Maybe. Yes."

More Silence

"How are you?"

"I'm good, well at least sometimes."

Laugh

Silence Again 

"Ok, I won't take your time
You have a party and friends waiting for you."

"Talk to me, we haven't spoken in such a long time."

More Silence


"Why don't you call anymore? You that busy?"

"I must be really bad, right? I never call."

Deafening Silence

"Tell me everything is gonna be alright."

"Eventually, everything will be alright. It will. "

The Results of my Personality Test

The Intellectual Hippie

"You love to help people, but usually find unconventional and subtle ways of doing it. You're fascinated by what the human mind is capable of creating, and seek the world for moments to enrich your life. You love psychology and philosophy. Your respect for all living beings makes you a humble and likeable person, and the biggest reward is when you get to impart your knowledge to those around you."

The Trouble With the World

Is that the stupid
Are cocksure
And the intelligent
Are full of doubt

-Bertrand Russel-

Start living, for god's sake!

The Hollow Men:

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

T.S Eliot

Post Holiday Trauma

I want to go back
To where I was
Over the weekend

With sand between my toes
And the warmth of the sun
On my brow

Sigh.
