Hello there, I see you;

You know that you're not alone in this;

Take me many photos, take me many pictures. 

Give me a memory, leave me something to remember.

You.

---

Take my hand, take my whole life too.

For I can't help, falling in love with you; (;

Familial Ties; Birthday Farewells Celebrations.

Last and final, don't go just yet;

Stay healthy, stay strong.

Stay happy, stay blissful.

Just hold on, just hold on.

And don't go just yet.

---

Is this the one you decided on?

W(h)ine, We No Party!

I don't drink!

Melodies of the rain. Falling, ever so softly, ever so gently.

Then the crash of thunder, the fierce onslaught of wind and raindrops.

But you are surrounded. You are warm. You are safe, you are secure.

It is then you feel, happy to be alive.

Company counts (;

Merci. Vous;

"It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words." - Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

(7,8): Review. OCS;

And your job entails..

Growth, intangible growth. It's something that we do not take notice of, but we happen to chance upon the fact come one very fine day that we are different, never the same as before.

Review: Your mentality, your character, your very being. This year and the last, how much have they changed? Are you the same person you were? (;

Die Heart Romantic;

“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Loves is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It dose not take offense and is not resentful. Love take no pleasure in others people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

Where My Eggs?!@#$

"Yummy yummy yummy, something's in my tummy!"

 

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest in the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. Love yourself, and be loved. Have hope, have faith (:

Sign On The Dotted Line.

Put down your name, you're in the million-dollar game;

The Social Contract:

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Equality.

Each of us places person and authority under the supreme direction of the general will, and receive do we, authority as individuals as an indivisible part of the whole.

The belief placed in systemic governance. Of fairness and equality in treatment. Is the system always just?

---

"Your request for fairness and equality has been denied. My words are final."

(PLAY-ed) Hotstuffs: Check "This" Out!

Or is it?

Everyone's different, everyone's unique, No two copies are the same. Temperament, orientation. Is it then acceptable, that people are viewed in a different light? Given a different benchmark? Judged differently?

Everyone's special. Just the way they are. 

Preached by all, practiced by all?

---

Summit Path; #iclimbmountains.

Life in short: I scratch your back, you scratch mine;

Homo sapiens. To function as a collective whole, to gel together as a cohesive unit. 

To tire, to feel, to be human.

 

Give up, give in, or give it all you've got.

Your choice, which do you choose?

---

(2) Meet: You, Me, Her.

Food. For extra thought?

---

"Where?" ;)

(U) Selecting: Unselected.

So I want one more promise from you during this time we spend apart;

"Tell me everything. Write it down, John, scribble it in a notebook, type it out, email it to me. I don't care but I want to know everything. In that way we can be with each other all the time even if we are not with each other at all. That way before we know it, I'll see you soon."

---

The choices we make, the chances that we take.
Above the uncertainty, above the apprehension.
Let's all hope for the best. (:

(1) Meet: You, Me, Her.

Frozen ground waltz; Youths, we hang out.

Born This Way.

Be comfortable, be yourself.

Act, not on obligation. Act, not of rash emotions. 

Act, because you want to, because it is best to.

 Don't let anyone change who you are, don't let anyone decide who you are to be.

---

“There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have a feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well. So I take the memories as they come, accepting them all, letting them guide me whenever I can.”  - John Tyree

Looking Back;

2 and an actuation;

Given the option, would you have done the same? I would.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

---

Will it?

Of Awkward Unions.

Being comfortable, being who you are. That's all that's important (:

---

"Do we shake hands?"

Twin flights, lines that almost coincide.

 

Auf Wiedersehen.

First of many see-you-agains;

“A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.”

Foul Weathered Friend.

Awkward much? Nope!

Jack and Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water.

But Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.

But Jack the man did what he can, to patch things up and set things straight,

He helped Jill up, brought them home, only then did he mend his head.

Bonds, forged between the chummiest of friends.

A helping hand, a listening ear. All that's needed to save them tears.

We all have our friends. Thanks for being mine.

---

17Degree Warmth.

You, making the great days greater;

How much it takes before one realizes that nothing done could possibly relieve the pain, or ever nullify and make good the sorrow afflicted. &&how much it takes before one realizes, in the rush and flurry of emotions, that life is ever so fleeting, so precious. Not a come and go, not a drive by. So live, and let live. Feel not the pain, but savor the joy. Live in the moment, cherish, and love.

---

Holding hands is a promise to one another that, for just a moment,
the two of you don’t have to face the world alone;

---

Two Makes A Pair;

Write about the last piece of something, and the two people who want it;

One and one makes two.

What is, the cost of a simple greeting?
What is, the cost of  a lengthy catch-up conversation?
What is, the cost of a listening ear when in need?
What is, the cost of a day of your time?

What is, the cost of your smile?

---

I had you living life like you should,
You say you never had it so good.
(So Good - B.O.B)

Get By, Goodbye.

Tomorrow, it's surprises;

To lead;

Where then, is the line drawn? That we absolve ourselves from the weighty responsibility, to say that all means had been exhausted, that the situation, escalated beyond individual control. One bar, brother. Some choose to say, "just" one bar.

To overcome;

Our fears, our paranoia. The very parasite that lives within our heads, and tells us that "we're just not good enough", that we are not competent, nor do we fit the bill that we are expected to deliver.

And excel we must. Not a "could", but a "must".

It is our choice to choose to be thankful, it is our choice to choose to rejoice at the silver lining in the dark clouds during the storm. It is our choice to smile.

---

Everybody's got a dark side, do you love me, can you love mine?

(Dark Side - Kelly Clarkson)

The Drama Princess.

Water tight integrity;

 Sealed without a flaw, impermeable to leaks.

 Impervious to external influence, holding no traces of past cracks.

Or is it?

---

Floors Up, 47.

Home is not a country, but of places, and of people;

Departure, eminent.
Meaning does mean more, than when one grasps its essence, and lives in the moment.

Home, not of the country, but of the places, and of the people.

Of the many kindred spirits. Of the bonds forged. Lasting or otherwise fleeting. Entrances and introductions into our lives. People met, fun had.

Loving every moment of it (;

---

Reasons To Be Happy.

The hundred reasons to cry, and the thousand reasons to smile;

  ---

That Unexplainable Feeling.

Anguish, one of the many colors in our palettes that make us human;

Just another of the robots;

That in this day and time, said it is that characters and qualities that are seemingly able to work above emotions and exhaustion are valued. What then, left of humanity. And the things that set us apart from voltage driven scraps of metal?

Whatever happened to all the altruistic beliefs;
Dog-eat-dog, rat-eat-rat, human-kill-human.
Who survives?

 And who'll change all of this?

---

Bonded by names, bonded by emotions. It's mutual.

#Drop Your Worries.

And smile.

Regardless the circumstance.

Regardless the situation.

Because we all deserve to.

---

We may only have tonight,
But til the morning sun you're mine, all mine.
Play the music low,
and sway to the rhythm of love;
#plainwhitetees.

Forever, and ever.

Happy Mother's Day.

Traces; We Never Started.

What would you rewrite, if given the option?

We do choose how we shall live: 

With purpose or adrift, 

With joy or hopelessness, 

With hope or despair,

With humor or with sadness, 

With a positive or negative outlook, 

With pride or shame, 

With inspiration or defeat, 

With honor or dishonor. 

We decide what makes us significant or insignificant. And we make it count.

---

The Conflicted;

Soliloquy. Aye, but for whose ears?

Give me a pair of rose-tinted glasses;

Paint me a cheery picture.

Branch, rope or outreached hand;

Save me from this quagmire.

Because it's hard to pick yourself up, when things go awry,
Because it's hard to carry on, feeling what you set out not to;
To be conflicted.

---

##Don't say it if you don't mean it.

---

Do That Thing You Do.

Time worth spending, is time not wasted;

---

T(103). Spare me the Strike;

You there. Yes, you.
The only one whom I don't mind losing to;

What's there to win, when there's you?

---

Tomorrow: Always a better day. (;

Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, 

but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

Thanks, Anyway.

The only "good enough";

#459: These Three Months.

You only live once, but if you live it well enough, once is enough;

Been the longest of times since I've penned down anything. For that matters, lived.

The second hand ticks; life passes you by.
The multitudes that have transpired.

And left, to be written.

When you've been given an expiry date.
What stands before you, the things you leave behind.
What of yourself, would be left behind.
Emotions; baggage; Unfinished tales, unwritten ones.

Sometimes I'd rather settle for ordinary. 
Because living up to expectations can be tiring.
Because rising up to challenges can be daunting.
Because telling yourself that tomorrow will be a better day over, and over again, is exacting.

But what's a life if unfulfilled?
What is a life, if untested.
Where is its meaning, if unproven.
And its worth, if un-validated?
Choice or not, for good, bad or even.
We're worth every single bit of it. We all are.

And I'd be facing the day with a conviction.
That every moment left would be a treasured one.
That every memory captured would be a lasting one.
That every day would be one without regrets, looking backwards.
Let the countdown begin.

---


And to you.
Whom a mere thank you would be insufficient.
Falling has never been that painful. But neither has getting up been this great.
Whoever thought two paths could cross in a way as such.
But for every minute, every hour. I'd always be glad that you could be around.
#459. Go figure.

---
Everyday's a song.
Ron Pope, Drop in the Ocean.

A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most.
Because you are my heaven.

Love. Hope. Laugh.

What do you see in your reflections? ;

Expectations, they would only lead to disappointments. Why then, do we still have them?

Promises are nothing if they are just obligations. Why then, do we still make them?

Liking, loving, feeling, it allows ourselves to be hurt. Why then, do we still go on?

It's a leap of faith;

And we'll take it  (:

 ---

Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you;

This is not a drive by.

Drive By - Train

My Heart's A Stereo.

Sink the unsinkable, even the best falls;

But that's just life. Fall, and rise up again. Up, up, and away. 

Take a step forward, never look back. For ever day a-wasted is time never-to-be-gotten-back.

Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes

"Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
Its just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts

If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you"

Break, break your heart.

We all wear masks. Everyone, every day. Sometimes we wear them so much, we forget who we really are. And sometimes, if we're lucky, someone comes along and shows us who we really want to be. Who we should be. (:

Jason Walker - Cry

New Beginnings.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 
Should all acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind.

2012, the surprises. The rewards, the pressure, the elation, the sorrow, the amazement, the awe.  The end of 9 months.  The top.  Heavy shoulders.  Responsibilities.  A great big leap forward.  A leap of faith.  Venturing into the unknown.  Exploring.  Emotions.  Love?

Watch the movie! They always say. They always say. (:
