Writing
is the best form of memento from the past. They are better than even photographs, because you can remember what happened in a photograph, but not really how you felt. Words have the power to transport your soul back to the past to relive your memories emotionally.
I am still bitter about the composition I wrote when I was 14 that I have lost through the years. It was the one-word option in one of...
“I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all...”
– Jorge Luis Borges (via uncle-iroh)
Come tomorrow,
things might change. Tomorrow, things might be different.
But you have today, where things are still the same. You have today, so that you’ll have a yesterday to think about tomorrow, if tomorrow things change.
You’ll always have memories of a yesterday, and that is good enough when tomorrow becomes today and brings with it changes.

What do you want?
I’m supposed to know. It is something so basic. I’m supposed to know and want what I’m supposed to know and want. I used to want so many and much. My life used to be filled with goals, ambitions and stupid problems. I used to care a great deal about every single thing. I used to dream about becoming someone.
But I don’t remember how to, anymore. All I need now is to get...
Being understood
is something so fundamentally important. When you feel like nobody else understands what you’re thinking and feeling, that’s when you feel most alone.

What happens if you fall in love with a writer? →
karenfelloutofbedagain:
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they might...
Too tiring.
Being assertive takes a lot of effort, is what I realised after trying today. I don’t have the energy for it now.
To want things is a tiring task. It’s a lot easier to just ride the waves. Take whatever comes, embrace it.
I’ll be assertive when I have the energy.
Thank you, khyoon. :)

Lack of assertiveness.
“Stop being so passive,” the doctor said. “Start being assertive. Tell people what you want. Be angry. Blame others. Lash out. Don’t keep all that nasty stuff inside.”
I didn’t really understand. But I dug around the internet, and now I think I know why he told me that.
I haven’t realised that that is the way I communicate. Zero assertiveness. Passive....

“Here’s the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, “bonus” relationships to the truly important ones. Women’s friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children.”
I'll have you know,
I don’t go around with a sad, melancholic expression and my head bowed down from the world. I don’t walk around with tears in my eyes, narrating depressing but true sentences to myself.
I have all these dark, gloomy thoughts and revelations in my head, but that’s exactly where they are and where they stay (not including a few obscure pages on the internet of course).
I have all...
“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas...”
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
I think that
after you connect that way with another person, there’s no other way to live. After you know what it’s like to have someone you feel connected with, you can’t really do without that connection anymore.
It’s like your whole life you’ve been lonely and fine, because you didn’t even know you were lonely. It’s like you’ve always been fine without...
In front of me,
is loss. Nothing but loss. I cannot imagine living another 40, 30, 20, no, even 10 years is too long. There is so much for me to lose in the remaining time I have in my life. Have you ever thought about that? Oh sure, you’re going to gain too, of course. But what you gain, you ultimately lose, too.
So living today is important. Today is good, today you will not lose anything, so live...
