Invisible String

Time, curious time

Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs.

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think,

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me.

Time, mystical time

Cuttin' me open, then healin' me fine.

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think,

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me.

A string that pulled me

Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar.

Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire.

Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons.

One single thread of gold tied me to you.

Time, wondrous time

Gave me the blues and then purple pink skies.

And it's cool, baby, with me

And isn't it just so pretty to think,

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me.

Morning coffee with a Christmas Vibe

Queen

I always wear my crown...

I have to...

I am a Queen.

That is Enough

So what's the point of looking for an answer then?"

We don't look for an answer, we accept, and then life becomes much more intense, much more brilliant, because we understand that each minute, each step that we take, has a meaning that goes far beyond us as individuals. We realize that somewhere in time and space this question does have an answer. We realize that there is a reason for us being here, and for us that is enough.

Pride and prejudice...

Aren't we all are... 

Both...

In so many ways.

...because all stories are meant to be told.

Joey Potter

I remember that day when I thought that love was sick

That day when I wore that red lipstick

Was also the day I believed that love is brave

When you told me that I look great.

Though I still want to climb that ladder up to your window

The way I run to my boat while you glance below

But I'm no longer that girl from the other side of the creek

Too tall and almost a geek

For I've learned and now I know better

Than the girl who dreamed that she's Joey Potter.

I remember that day when I started believing Dawson

But the real Pacey just came along

The day I believed that love is indeed strong

But you have to walk away if you don't belong.

So now I sing the old song

About the young I was

About the dream I once longed

About the tale of us.

A Thousand Angels

And I could hear a thousand angels singing

Whenever I look into your eyes

I could see a thousand shooting stars falling

Whenever you looked back into mine

But who needs a shooting star

For a wish to come true

When what we have is a promise

As beautiful as a rainbow

No matter how hard the rain is

It will be beautiful as the rainbow.

Bright Tomorrows

The ring is gone 

But I still feel how it wrapped around my finger

So perfectly

Like we were so meant to be.

But love has its own story

Things about bitter pasts

And bright tomorrows

Aimed by Cupid's arrow.

When someone disrespects you or yells at you, don't yell back. 

Your silence DOESN'T mean you're intimidated.

It DOESN'T mean they are superior.

It only shows that you have respect to yourself.

For Respect is something you give because you have it in you.

After all...

You cannot impart something you don't even have.

We alone can make our own world colourful.

So I am colouring mine.

Artificial Lights

If there's one advise that I would like to share to everyone in this time of pandemic is that...

Sure we must always look at the brighter side of life...

But if you CAN'T FIND THE BRIGHTER SIDE...

THEN YOU SHOULD MAKE ONE FOR YOURSELF.

CREATE YOUR OWN BRIGHT SIDE.

CREATE YOUR OWN ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.

Freshman Maladies

I think one of the many maladies if you came from a very prestigious institution is that people expect too much from you even though you're just a freshman.

I don't mind, though.

"You must live, you must fail, because one day it's going to be a part of you personal story that would inspire others to do what you did. So go get those dreams. " - ♥️

Life is your Art.

An open, aware heart is your camera.

A oneness with your world is your film.

Your bright eyes, your easy smile is your museum." 

- Ansel Adams

If you expect the world to be fair with you because you're fair, you're fooling yourself.

That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.

Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. 

Those who catch it never try to get better, 

and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.

A BAD

ATTITUDE IS LIKE A FLAT

TIRE: 

YOU CAN'T GO

ANYWHERE

UNTIL YOU

CHANGE IT.

I TS NOT ABOUT GIVING UP ITS ABOUT KNOWING WHEN YOU LOSE ! - TMR

You can be afraid of not getting what you want, but you can also be afraid of getting what you want because then you'll have something to lose. Just go for it. Life isn't about forever, it's about living to our fullest potential while we're here.

-DOE ZANTAMATA-

There is a difference between loyalty and bondage. 

There is a difference between faithfulness and fearfulness. 

There is a difference between being devoted and being dominated. 

The difference is called freedom, and it is all the difference in the world.

-BRYANT MCGILL-

He who sends the storm steers the vessel.

-Thomas Adams-

"The wisest of angels... admit that what they know is as nothing compared to what they do not know.”

—Emanuel Swedenborg

"Man searches for courage in drink, but it is not courage that  he finds, it is fear that he loses.

A drunken man may step off a cliff.

That does not make him brave, just forgetful.”

Mitch Albom - The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

YOU WERE GIVEN  THIS LIFE  BECAUSE YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE IT.

The difference between a master and a beginner is that...

The master has failed more times than the beginner has ever tried.

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult.

You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

You can't keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you're still in hell.

Hope is a beautiful thing, but it becomes a prison when our own hope sits in the hands of someone else's desire to choose, change or show up for us.

-Mark Groves-

No tree,

it is said,

can grow to heaven

unless its roots

reach down to hell

- C.G. Jung

"I was never insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched."

- Edgar Allan Poe-

Maybe it's not about the HAPPY ENDING. Maybe it's about the story.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind. - TS

You are a different person to different people.

Annoying to one. Talented to another. Quiet to a few. Flawless to your lover. Stranger to some. Insecure to others. The best to your friend. The worst to your enemy. Someone to one. The one to another. Smart to a few. Daring to others. Difficult to a lot. Unknown to the rest.

Who you are is too vast to be classified by the state of your attitude, or categorized by the opinions of others.

How others see you isn't as important as how you see yourself!

So love & accept the person you are.

- Musannif-

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. 

If he did, he would cease to be an artist."

-Oscar Wilde-

BE WHO YOU NEEDED WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER.

You Moved On

You moved on

before the dust could settle.

So fast

not even a single strand

of silver cobweb

was left behind

to hold onto.

No spider could spin

a web that quickly

- MICHAEL FAUDET -

The Love Song

A poet once wrote a love song and it was beautiful. And he made many copies of it, and sent them to his friends and his acquaintances, both men and women, and even to a young woman whom he had met but once, who lived beyond the mountains.

And in a day or two a messenger came from the young woman bringing a letter. And in the letter she said, "Let me assure you, 1 am deeply touched by the love song that you have written to me. Come now, and see my father and my mother, and we shall make arrangements for the betrothal.

And the poet answered the letter, and he said to her, "My friend, it was but a song of love out of a poet's heart, sung by every man to every woman.

And she wrote again to him saying, "Hypocrite and liar in words! From this day unto my coffin-day I shall hate all poets for your sake.

If you write about love,

They might say that you're in love. 

And if you write about heartbreak, 

They might say that you're heartbroken.

If you write about happiness, 

They might wonder why you're happy.

And if you write about sadness, 

They might pretend like they didn't read it. 

If you write about loss, 

They might pity you. 

And if you speak the truth, 

They might criticize you. 

But don't you ever let what people think stop you from expressing yourself.

So, let it be that you're in love. 

Haven't they been? 

Let it be that you've been heartbroken. 

Who's not?

Let it be that you're happy or sad. 

Isn't it normal? 

Let it be that you've lost. 

We've all lost.

Let your soul

Shine through your words.

-Najwa Zebian-

THE HUMAN SEASONS

FOUR Seasons fill the measure of the year; 

There are four seasons in the mind of Man: 

He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear 

Takes in all beauty with an easy span:

He has his Summer, when luxuriously 

Spring's honey'd cud of youthful thought he loves 

To ruminate, and by such dreaming high 

Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves

His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings 

He furleth close, contented so to look 

On mists in idleness—to let fair things 

Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook:

He has his Winter too of pale misfeature, 

Or else he would forgo his mortal nature.

J. KEATS

I just got my 2021 SB Journal today...

No judgement please...

I have my reasons...

We all have our own reasons.

So don't ask...

It is called TRADITION.

The 90's Anthem

So Netflix is finally streaming the 90's ultimate teen drama anthem - Dawson's Creek, and yeah, I'm binging on it right now.

If my counting serves me right, it's my 5th time rewatching this series. Don't count the first time when the show was still on the run, that was way back in my early years in highschool.

And it's really nostalgic how those lost years came back again to me, how I would be rushing my homework so I could watch it on TV by 8pm every tuesday on Studio 23. How on the next day, we'll be all excited to go to school because, yeah, we'll be talking about Dawson and Pacey. How we would mimic Joey's blouse best way we can, act like we're Joey, the ultimate dream girl of the 90's. How we hated Jenny at the start and ended up loving her the way we love the other 3. How I started to missed them when I started college. Basically, my highschool wouldn't be so complete without them.

I missed Capeside.

Yeah, and so, you really can't blame me to binge again on it.

I told yah...

It is the 90'S ULTIMATE TEEN DRAMA ANTHEM.

If you were given an "OR" as an option, make it an "AND".
