If you invest in a REIT, you get to keep the rental income a REIT collects as dividends. While waiting for the property’s value to grow. This makes REITs the most profitable and stable form of leveraged investing.

How do you erase someone from your memory

[baybiebear]

We just sent out our first newsletter.

As a student (or former student to be accurate), I think there’s no greater satisfaction than having your prof tell you he’s proud of you.

If I ever had the chance to tell my younger self, I would tell her to believe in her dreams and chase them. Grades do not and will never determine the worth of a person.

I hope all the young kiddos I spoke to at NYGH last week understand this someday...

So this got delivered yesterday.

At first I was really excited to unroll it. As I lay it flat on my bed and took a photo to show Alexina, tears started to well up in my eyes.

I can’t believe that we’ve come so far. We’re still a long way off from setting up HQ in the UK, but this means so much to me. I couldn’t have asked for anyone else better to work with to make this dream come true 😘

I remember that one day at the Manga Museum in Kyoto when I was lamenting to Tatsuya how difficult it would be to run an NGO, and he said to me, “ I believe you can.”

When I told this random boy about how I wanted to run my own ngo, he told me it was fantastic and he was impressed. I know it’s not much, but words like that give me hope in moments of doubt.

We always want that which we cannot have .

I’d rather not have had the pictures of us if it meant that it would be easier to forget you.

All I ever wanted ...

All I ever wanted was for someone to love me - but today, my mum told me that even if I died, she wouldn’t give a damn.

Disappear

Sometimes a thought occurs to me: what if I packed my bags and ran away to a random country? Just somewhere on the world map.

Would anyone realise that I’m gone? Would anyone ask me where I went? Would anyone miss me? Or would I just fade from people’s memories - people that I never really mattered to anyway?

Random thoughts ...

Sails

Today, as I was walking along the streets by myself, I just thinking about a lot of things, but at the same time I felt so peaceful - that for a moment I could be undisturbed by work commitments and just take my time to walk slowly and breathe the air that surrounded me. 

Tonight, alone with my thoughts, I am thinking - was a decision a right one? Choosing to break up after five years wasn’t an easy decision. It hurt me a lot, and it still hurts me now. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder - was it because I messed up somewhere along the way? Would it be possible for me to mend what is already broken? 

Then God placed the same image which He gave me when I was 18; an image of a ship getting ready to set sail. Ships during the colonial period where the British navy roamed the East Indies set sail without knowing where they would go or what the weather conditions would be like; they only knew that they were setting out to find new land. God reminded me that He was Lord over the storm and the waves, and He who holds my future would give me peace. Peace in knowing He knows my needs, but most of all I needed to seek Him first.

It’s okay to feel left out sometimes

[baybiebear]

Behind her smile are the scars you cannot see; the scars that make her human.

Getting out of the habit of cutting was a huge struggle for me. Everyday was a battle of mental strength, of holding out hope that tomorrow will be better, of wanting to just curl up in a fetal positon and cry hoping the pain would subside.

Last week, I fought off the urges to cut three times in a row and I am just so proud of myself for that.

I just wanted to let those of you out there who are struggling too know that it’s okay to be hurting, and it’s okay to feel pain. But you must learn how to love yourself and care for yourself, because if you don’t, no one will. It will get better and you will heal. It just takes time.

Be gentle with yourself because we are all only trying our best.

You cannot carry the weight of the world on your shoulders; and neither can you carry the weight of someone else’s world.

Be kind to yourself, and remember that you are only human too.
