Life has never been so uncertain until this Coronavirus pandemic happened. It's like I am very clueless of what's gonna come because the situation has gotten out of hand. I can only really hope that tomorrow will be a better day for everyone especially to those who are more challenged than I am. Life is short and unfair and the world we live in is hostile so the least we can do is to live happily. Let's not be halted on doing the things we love - at least only during this pandemic.

“Too much imagination. Too much creativity. That’s why dreamers don’t succeed in the real world.” they told me. “I know,” I replied. “But in all the worlds I’ve created I was free—and I was alive—and I was loved. And I still am.”

I spoke with a gay guy on a dating app and because of him, I realised that one of the many reasons why it's hard to end with someone in a gay-relationship is because of sex compatibility. It has been a norm that we ask the other party if they are top-versa-bottom like what the fuck! A person is more than sex and so is relationship. If there's a spark then go for it. Unless your definition of love is sex, don't let it hinder you ending with someone you like.

We are all wearing masks. That is what makes us interesting.

“Have you ever had to get through a day, smiling at people, talking, as if everything were normal and okay, while all the the time you felt like you were carrying a leaden weight of unhappiness inside you?”

— Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation (via books-n-quotes)

A kid walked into a candy store with his dad and was bedazzled by the array of treats on offer.

“What should I choose?  What should I choose?  What should I choose?”  He asked himself.

“Come on son, we don’t have all day,” his dad said.

“These are my favourites.  No wait, these are my favourites.”

He walked along the aisles, picking up bags and putting them back.

He just couldn’t make up his mind.

“Quick son, make up your mind, we have to go,”  His impatient dad said.

Frantically, the boy ran around the store, his eyes moving from one shelf to another, but all of the options looked so good and he couldn’t make a decision.

Eventually, the dad had enough, grabbed his son by the hand and they walked out of the store empty-handed.  The young boy had tears in his eyes. He wanted them all, but ended up with nothing because he couldn’t choose just one.

We’re all that boy.

The world is that candy store.

We have a myriad of options available to us, but if we don’t make a decision about our career, education, relationships, investments, church or other important issues, we end up empty-handed.

Sometimes we worry about making the wrong choice.

What if we regret the direction that we take and it’s too late to go back?

The bigger danger is that we make no decision at all and end up going nowhere and doing nothing.

Kaleidoscope

I think we are part of the universe- the universe who gave birth to its being and the beings within it.

Vast. Starry. Colorful. Lifeful.

You are a being of the universe therefore you are a universe yourself.

Embrace it!

We only have so much time.

It is okay- and crucial - to cut off things that are unnecessary.
