Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.

So much...
As of late Iâve been realising how much I have really done and seen in life and in the worldâŚ
I should be proud that Iâve traveled over 30 countries, met so many different and wonderful people and a few that werenât all that great. Iâve been robbed, cheated, punched, pushed and abused and taken advantage of. Iâve also been loved, hugged, fed, cultured and saved.
I couldnât, wouldnât possibly be the head-strong, defiant, unwavering women I am today - that knows never to give up because everything will pass in due time - if i havenât had these experiences, I would not be here. I doubt I will be this strong, relaxed and comfortable a person. If I havenât been at university for over 5 years and swapped and changed minors and majors like there was no tomorrow, i would not be in the unique position I am in today, of being both a scientist and a social philosopher.
I wouldnât be myself if it were not for all the things I did that people told me not to do. It was because of all the ârisksâ I took, without assessing long-term consequences, that i became who i am today - Me. I see how vastly different my life is from my peers and I am pleased and I am happy at the decisions I have made and the path I have taken.
I know who I am.
I know what will make me happy.
Now to achieve it!

Figuring it out...
In the process of finding out the next few steps of life. It is all just a waiting game. Just have to be patient to see what will happen next. This is the hardest part, where things are happening slowly and you see so little progress but you know something big is about to happen. That everything will become that much clearer, where you are figuring out you don't need to settle and still has so much potential left. It isn't all about finding romance anymore but rather about establishing you, yourself, your career and trying to understand where you belong in the world. It is the hard part now... this is the really scary part. Because if you fall, it'll be from such great heights it'll hurt like nothing but if you succeed... you'll fly so high and shine so bright nothing will stop you. Just relax and figure it out. Be patient, everything is happening right now behind the scene, slowing coming together... it will be clear soon. Just don't rush.
REMEDY RITUALS
First things first. Start your day with 5 minutes for yourself. Set your Alarm for 5 minutes to 7:00am instead of 5 past. Find or create a little sanctuary in your home, with pillows, candles, incense, essential oils.. maybe some tunes. Now let go, just breathe and be mindful of each and every body part without consciously thinking about them- just feel. Woo! early stages of meditation! Donât worry, im not the best at it yet either, but i know that when i start my morning with 5 minutes of relaxation, mantras, essential oils, and deep breathing, your whole day flows with such ease, it seems everything is impossibly in your favour.
Feeling funky?
get some Tumeric into you! infact, get as much as you possibly can into you until your sweat turns yellow!Whenever i start to feel a little off colour, or my housemate has a cough - i whip up some of this magic
Ingredients:
1x 4cm grated Tumeric root OR
1 heaped teaspoon of Tumeric powder (per glass)
1x 3cm finely grated ginger root
Raw honey
Fresh lemon juice
Method
Place grated turmeric and ginger into a pot with 2 cups of water
bring to the Boil and let simmer for 5 minutes (or just mix the powder into hot water)
Strain out the bits! and pour your boiling water into two large glasses or big mugs.
add the honey and lemon to taste and drink up!
Your little cold will disappear i assure you!
You can desire. You just can't be attached to desire. It's about living in the moment and enjoying the attempt to realise your ideas, while at the same time letting go of the need for a positive outcome.
I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I donât already know, and make me laugh. I donât care what you look like, just turn me on.

I felt like I was sort of disappearing. It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.

Just how accurate are the memories that we know are true, that we believe in? The brain abhors a vacuum. Under the best of observation conditions, the absolute best, we only detect, encode and store in our brains bits and pieces of the entire experience in front of us. When itâs important for us to recall what it was that we experienced, we have an incomplete [memory] store, and what happens? Below awareness, without any kind of motivated processing, the brain fills in information that was not there, not originally stored, from inference, from speculation, from sources of information that came to you, as the observer, after the observation. But it happens without awareness such that you arenât even cognizant of it occurring. Itâs called âreconstructed memory.â All our memories are reconstructed memories. They are the product of what we originally experienced and everything thatâs happened afterwards. Theyâre dynamic. Theyâre malleable. Theyâre volatile. And as a result, we all need to remember that the accuracy of our memories is not measured in how vivid they are nor how certain you are that theyâre correct.
Are your memories real .. or fake? Neurophysiologist Scott Fraser says you shouldnât be so sure that what you remember is always what actually happened. Fraser researches how humans remember crimes, and in a powerful talk at TEDxUSC, he suggests that even close-up eyewitnesses to a crime can create âmemoriesâ they couldnât have seen. Watch the whole talk hereÂť (via tedx)
Wonders
Sometimes I wonder why things are the way they are. Then I remember, something great is waiting for me just around the corner, one day. So waiting isnât that bad. Iâm growing with every new experience and changing for the better, understanding, not only my human conditioning but of those people I encounter. We are all objects that exist within a social sphere and are shaped by other social objects we come into contact with. Letâs just hope as intertwining social objects we are kind to one another and ever loving.
Breath
Sometimes things we can never see ourselves doing occur naturally. It does not challenge us or disturb us on an emotional and psychological level, which is more frightening than anything. I feel like what is occuring in my life is a disaster waiting to happen, but I have no reservations about it. I am more concerned about the lack of feelings I have than the events, situations and people. I wonder when I became so hard, cold and emotionless.
Itâs always the bad we want, more than the good. Even though the good is starring us straight in the face and begging to come in.
Such is life.
A very cute cafe in Yongmun, Daejeon. Fresh desserts and drinks, lovely atmosphere and a very kind owner who serves out some of the best cookies Iâve tasted in Korea. Sugar cookies stuffed with melted chocolate. From the subway take exit 4 walk till the end of lotto department store and turn into the side street on the left. Two blocks down on the right side of the street this sweet little cafe is nested. It was relatively inexpensive. For a iced green tea and lemon tart the total was just under 7000won and the presentation was splendid to0o!!
