je suis perdu

black hole...

limbo...

nowhere...

Mix and Match?

Having two different things you like and mixing them together doesn't necessarily mean it will turn out something you'd like entirely. Like having a favorite dress and your favorite combat boots. You each like them both for their individual qualities, however, it does not mean they'd match perfectly. Sometimes it is better to keep things separate and well compartmentalized in neat little boxes. That way you'd feel so much in control.
I wish...

But hey, if life was that simple, there won't be a term called "its complicated," right? Life does tend to get complicated. It's like mixing different facets of yourself: your friends from different backgrounds, your family, your work,and everything else and making them all work out is one of the most difficult things to do and it's up to us to balance everything out.

All the planning, thinking and all these worry take too much effort! I'd say, maybe we need to let go...

...and maybe experiment a little. Who knew? Dresses do match with combat boots these days. The punk rock look is so in lately that you tend to wonder. Maybe the things you try so hard to keep well isolated are the very things that will make a perfect fit.

Rushing Tides

Grasping on grains of sand, clutching ever so tightly, watching all the grains slip away;

Like the rushing tides, impatiently beating on the rocks and boulders, but ending at absolutely nowhere, neither moving the obstacles nor achieving anything;

Somewhat feels like an eternal black hole where everything is dark and dreary.

Even the ever pliant bamboo has its breaking point at some time or another.

But I still hope that this bamboo will continue to hold on and not succumb to the harsh winds that life is blowing at it.

Patience and perseverance will eventually pave the way for these rushing tides.
