rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
Bangkok (for leisure! I can finally lug my huge pink luggage out for some foreign air) Bombay Perth Haneda – Tokyo Jakarta Auckland Manila Denpasar-Bali Bangkok (again) New Delhi I seem to have an unprescribed affinity with Asian sectors. Not that I’m complaining! (: Fall in love with whatever you do, there will always be…

the fields are frozen gold
As though ten winters have passed since we arrived, thin ice beneath our heels, snowflakes in our breath. Lucent white in ten miles’ sight no sign of impending summer. Yet somebody dreamt of this perfect world. Such a waste of lush green pastures every leaf chilled to the very spine – botanical shards of piercing ice.…

keeping passion at bay (or surrendering blindly to it)
“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path. No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow…

vividly awake in every sense
“Time to leave now, get out of this room, go somewhere, anywhere; sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom, stretch your limbs, fill your eyes, be awake, wider awake, vividly awake in every sense and every pore.” ― Stefan Zweig, The Post-Office Girl

be free
“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.” ― Maxim Gorky, The Lower Depths and Other Plays

bright sunshine on a cold day
“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness — just the pure air to breathe and the…

sheltering sky
“How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps…

a cup of strong hot coffee when you’re blue
“People always think that happiness is a faraway thing,” thought Francie, “something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains – a cup of strong hot coffee when you’re blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you’re…

with every touch you fixed them
It’s in the stars It’s been written in the scars on our hearts That we’re not broken just bent And we can learn to love again

hypersensitivity kills
In the long run, allowing circumstances to rid themselves proves to be a healthier emotional choice of being Whatever happens up there stays up there. P.S Releasing helium balloons kills whales, dolphins and pretty sea creatures wherever those plastics go. Saddening how aesthetically pleasing images like these hides such atrocious backlash

if you can be faithless
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. ― Oriah Mountain Dreamer

if you can dance with wildness
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. ― Oriah Mountain Dreamer

the front porch
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or…

it doesn’t interest me…
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for…

much more good in it than bad
“At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough, and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.” ― Lemony Snicket

point blank
“Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It’s a choice.” ― Emily Giffin, Heart of the Matter
