By our very nature, we don’t always want to do what we know we should do. We don’t always want to do the right thing, but eventually, we have to, because that’s who we are. We’re good people who know right from wrong. At least, I think I am (or trying to be) a good person, and hopefully, I am doing the right thing.
You don’t always get what you want. Life sucks. Get over it. Go eat grapes and be thankful that you still have grapes to eat.
How do you react when you run into your ex for the first time after a break up? Do you say hi or avoid and walk away?
Now there’s no hidden meaning here, and it’s not just some catchy song either. I bruise quite easily, not in some deeper psychological or emotional way, but literally. I often find myself covered in bruises, especially on my legs and most of the time, I don’t know how on earth I got them in the first place. It doesn’t take much to leave bruises on my body. Someone can easily leave a bruise on my arms just by grabbing them while pressing their thumbs at the same time. I once had to explain to my doctor about my bruises, who I don’t think believed me, because she, then, went on to ask about my relationship with my boyfriend (at the time).
Some people bruise easily; some have tougher skin. Some bruises go away within days, while others stay for weeks, We’re like that, not the skins and bones of us, but on a deeper and emotional level. Things happen, life happens and we get bashed around and we get hurt so we stumble and we fall. Just like how bruises will eventually heal and disappear, we’ll get up again and go on with our lives. For some, it doesn’t take long while for others, it may take weeks, months, or even years. But the bottom line is that we’ll be alright, and in the end, everything will fall into place…It’s only a matter of time, and that’s the beauty of life.
I Bruise Easily—Now, that’s definitely a catchy song
Whenever I go for ice cream, I often find myself having an exhausting time picking one from the 20+ flavors available. Tonight, we went to Cold Stone Creamery. The great thing about Cold Stone, unlike any other typical ice cream places, is that you can get whatever you want here. They have every flavor and every mix-in you can imagine. Can’t choose between Banana, Strawberry or Vanilla? No worries, you can have all three! (I’m not sure how tasty that would be, but you get my drift…) Just like the many different flavors and mixtures and creations that Cold Stone Creamery offers, life often presents you with so many choices as well. However, the only difference is that with ice cream, if you don’t like the flavor (s) you’ve chosen, you can always come back to try a different flavor later, where as with life, making a choice excludes and shuts off all other options.
Life with choices is wonderful. A lot of us are very blessed to have many choices in life. We don’t know what it’s like to suffer from having no choices. To live life without choices is terrible, but what about life with too many choices?
Personally, I think having too many options is quite paralyzing and exhausting. What career to go into after college? Where you’re going to live? To move across the country or stay in your home town? When you have so many things to choose from, you don’t know which choice is the best. You stress about it and worry that you’ll make the wrong decision. When you have so many options, you feel the pressure to make the very best choice.
What if you decide on something and then something better comes along? What if you marry the wrong man, and then the right one shows up? There are so many uncertainties, and you never know whether there’s some other option that’s better. So many choices. So many headaches. But I guess that’s what makes life interesting. It’s full of uncertainties and mysteries. Bad decision or good decision? Only time will tell, and in the meantime, I will continue to indulge my ice cream dreams at Cold Stone, a place where I can be greedy and get to have everything I want at once.
Good night and good luck
If your significant other was cheating on you, would you want to know? Would you want to know all the details of the affair? People often say what you don’t know, won’t hurt you but I think that only applies to some situations. Let’s say your gf/bf was cheating on you, you should want to know about the affair. It’s in your best interest to find out whether he/she was cheating or not so that you could make an informed decision whether to leave to the person or to stay and give the “train wreck” another try. Probing for further details is however a different story. “Juicy” details of the affair are destructive and they serve no positive/constructive purposes. It’s the same reason why we shouldn’t share explicit details of our past relationships to our current bf/gf. So, I guess in certain situations where the truth is too painful, ignorance is indeed bliss. If you don’t think you’re gonna like the answer, don’t ask the question…trust me, I know. 
Why do we always think that there might be someone “better” for us, someone more attractive, who has a better body, a bigger bank account, or a higher social status? Why can’t we be satisfied with what we have? Is the grass really greener on the other side? What if we eventually get what we want but it’s nowhere as wonderful as what we had? That doesn’t make sense right? I mean why would someone go out looking for burgers when they’ve already got steak at home?
And then there are these girls that are into assholes. Why is that? Why want a man who treats you horribly? Why want a man who isn’t thoughtful, who doesn’t make time for you, who doesn’t take care of you or care for your needs or even worse, someone who cheats on you? Is it simply because he doesn’t want you and that in turn makes you want him even more?
Why do we always want what’s beyond our reach? Why do we always look past the way things are to the way things were or the way things could be? Are we really that bored with life and reality that we feel the need to dream and desire for things we don’t need?
It’s funny we have nice things, but we always want something we think is even better than what we have right in front of us. Then, we wake up one morning and realize that it all just passed us by because we spent too much time wishing for something different. When, in reality, what we have at that moment is just what we need.
It’s so sad and unfortunate that a lot of us are caught in this never ending cycle of the “grass is greener on the other side” syndromes… Humans–we’re just a bunch of greedy bastards, aren’t we?
We all have heard that it’s easier to forgive than to forget, and that people often forgive but they won’t forget. The truth is, I think that unless you’re capable of forgetting, you’re not really forgiving. Forgiveness is the act of excusing someone for their offense, but unless you’re willing to forget this offense, you’re not really forgiving them. By refusing to forget this offense against you, you’re still holding a grudge against this person. Therefore forgiveness isn’t really really forgiveness unless you’re willing to forget as well. On the other hand, maybe not being
able to forget isn’t such a bad thing and it’s just a part of your body natural survival instincts. The
memories of the offense remain to remind you that you don’t wanna get
hurt again and that you should be cautious next time. To forget or to not forget. Either way, you’re screwed because forgetting is a double-edged sword! Good night!
Have you fallen in love with a stranger? Actually, the more appropriate question is, could you possibly fall in love with a stranger? Someone on the train or a stranger you see across a crowded room. Or perhaps a stranger sitting across from you at the library. Someone who you’ve never even spoken to or who doesn’t even notice that you existed.
I’ve heard of stories where people fell in love with each other at first sight, got married and lived happily ever after.
But then on the other hand, people say that in love and romance, you often have glamorous fantasies that have little to do with reality. Your imagination can run wild at this time. You get carried away with fantasy, fiction, and metaphysical musing.
So the question is: Can you really fall in love with a stranger or is it just an illusion? Is it self-deception and you’re just projecting your romantic fantasies, dreams and ideals onto someone who’s unresponsive and can’t reject you, a “perfect” stranger? A perfect stranger, a perfect romance or a perfect illusion? Tough question. Although I find the idea strangely very endearing and romantic, I think I’ll just stick to the routine hello-nice to meet you-lets go get coffee-let’s get to know each other better-let’s fall in love type of romance. But anything is possible! Good night!
Sometimes people get too big for their breeches, dont they??
How egotistical of people to think that they’re superior. That their beliefs are more important and more valid than the beliefs of others. It is one thing to believe something and try to educate others in your beliefs showing them the path you believe is right. It’s another thing entirely to dismiss what other people think and look down on them just because yours is ‘obviously superior.’
The sad thing is that people who think they’re superior and look down on others are usually those who feel inadequate and they think belittling others will make up for ther shortcomings.
Another thing, why do people always brag and boast? Being confident is one thing but it’s another thing to brag and be all cocky. Why can’t they be a tad humble? Is it so hard to even try? I don’t care if you have a super nice car, for godsakes!! SO?
Man, i’m not in a good mood today hahaha
It’s the Christmas jitters talking, usually I’m not this cranky
