Taking Stock

It's been two months since my last entry, and I'm sure the most predictable thing to say next will be: so many things have changed.

Talking about change, here's a line that is going to be my favorite for a long time. "We perceive time passing through change- seasons, aging, things like that. So to expand our time on earth, we must incite as much change in our lives as possible."

How simple, yet so true!

No wonder the past couple of months feel longer than ever. Well I didn't like all of the changes, cuz I didn't choose all of them . I was first thrown into this dark whirlpool of pain and heartbreak. But at the end it all turns out well, they end up teaching me many valuable lessons, many part of me, my new traits, my thinking and attitude form from reflecting on that period of my life. And...not forgetting the beautiful tattoo it's given me the reason to get! Whenever I become aware of it (sometimes you forget that you've gotten one), it lights up a little inside. :)

The nice changes that I chose to incite, are to be more loving (what my tattoo reminds me to do), forgiving, understanding, open-minded,  basically to have a big heart! Also, I've gotten into the habit of eating healthy and working out on a daily basis. It's the physical part of cultivating beauty! I believe the good things will ensue once you put yourself in the happy, grateful state of mind, and a fit physical state. And so far, I'm right.

Relationship wise, it's more amazing than ever, we are getting closer every day. Friendship wise, I've gotten much closer with Nishi and Stefie. Well, trust is one of the things I learned, it is the most important ingredient of lasting, rewarding friendship that brings so much joy, love and meaning to my life! (Secretly I'm doubtful if I would remain an active blogger, because I've learned to share my heart and soul with friends and loved ones...that blog might have to stay aside for a while  )

Work wise, I've learned to find a greater purpose to the things we call work: academic work, revising for exams, part-time job ect. It's definitely one of the ways of life, a path to find this evasive thing we call happiness- that is to find meaning behind everything in life- the good, the bad,the blessings and the curses:)

Next up in finding happiness: to put in that effort for revision!
