Embrace

“You have the look of uncertainty on your face. You look worried and uncomfortable. It’s like you are unsure if this is alright, if you’ve made the right choice.”

I felt naked. I felt exposed.
I felt like a child got caught red-handed stealing a toy in a supermarket.

It was something I didn’t expect to be said about me. It got me curious – exactly what has prompted him to make that remark?

We continued talking for a few more minutes after that.
“What’s past is past. It doesn’t matter what you got in the past.” He said.
“What matters is you’re here now. The first step starts here.” I listened.

An author, Catherine Pulsifer once said if one remains in one’s comfort zone, one will not go any further.
A new direction, a new phase. A change.
I’ll embrace the first step.
I’ll embrace change.
I’ll embrace life.

A Little Overrated Perhaps?

I heard that Michael Jackson has died after suffering from cardiac arrest. Honestly, I don’t find that hard to believe at all considering the numerous news about his health and other complications. But one thing that annoys me is that, when the radio in my car was turned on this morning, THREE radio stations were simultaneously playing his songs. ALL THREE. And 90 minutes later, the three stations were STILL playing his songs. I don’t understand what’s so big deal about his death. I don’t fancy him, I don’t fancy his songs, I don’t fancy his dances. I’m sorry that someone has died but I think he is no different than anyone else. Why do people actually worship him?  I’m mournful, but not devastated.

as I wipe my table
as I arrange the books
as I sit on my chair

I’m missing home already
as I wipe my guitar
as I look at the photo frames
as I step on the tiles

I’m missing home already
as I throw … click to read more…

Salted Fish

“When one door closes, another opens ; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us”

Alexander Graham Bell

I stumbled upon this set of words earlier which relates very closely to something I wrote back in April and was instantly reminded of … keep reading
