Personal Discovery
12 posts
Everyday that passes, life doesn't seem to change all the much - however, when you look back, nothing is ever really exactly the same. This blog is to document, honestly, whatever I want at the moment to make sure I remember in the future. And also stuff I'd like to compare as time moves on. This is a place where I can express myself without boundary and evaluate myself without any influence. This is my personal discovery.

Memorable Quotes 3/23
"When you are being criticized and it hurts, chances are, there is some level of truth to it. (...) You can only take things personally if it somehow touches a raw nerve. (...) Give yourself empathy."
"Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see."
"When you have discovered what a man dears most, you have discovered his madness, and the means to control him."
"That thing that you want, I can guarantee you that you've convinced yourself that you're fine with not having it."
"If you want trust, you're gonna have to give some away."

What I Learned 3/23
The Beatles wrote "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from starting off by seeing the words "gently weep" from a book, and built off of that.
You won't get anywhere by forcing anything - patience is a virtue. There are no rules to anything. There is no "normal" or "it's supposed to be this way" to any aspects of life. As long as you're okay with something, and it isn't hurting you more than it's serving you, it's okay to be happy with something that isn't traditional.
