a daily dose of sunshine & wisdom
feeling validated, heard, seen, and acknowledged in a friendship is so important. it’s the most beautiful feeling i think. being able to tell someone the most private feelings, exposing yourself at the most vulnerable, and being met with empathy, understanding, and confirmation that you’re not just being whiny, spoiled, ungrateful, or any of the other self-deprecating things you tell yourself you are when you’re breaking down. to have someone bring you back to reality when you’re busy minimising your struggles, yeah, that’s really beautiful and it’s truthful. someone who sees you where you are exactly as you are, not better or worse. just you. that’s so important in a friendship. definitely the most beautiful feeling.
Hello stranger stranger
What's this I see?
A sparkle in your eyes
sets a flicker to my heart
In the mountains of unknown
with a whiff of familiar
Too weak for happy water
reached for beer but nowhere
So we touch the stars anyway
while we write the same page
But, alas, stranger stranger
My fear do us part
'cause hello stranger stranger
You're just too unfamiliar

"Why did you touch me? Even when I said no?"

What a little girl experiences is an atmosphere of 'correctness', but one which never permits a close contact with either father or mother, and hence leaves the girl puzzled and afraid. She is never sure of what the parents feel or think; there is always an element of the unknown, the mysterious, in the atmosphere. As a result the girl withdraws into a world of her own, day-dreams, remains remote and retains the same attitude in her love relationships later on.

That person from Singapore seems really nice.

Include, Exclude
There is no one way to live; we have to embrace the different ways of living.
Sometimes it’s not about doing something, it’s doing nothing itself that’s excluding.
Withdrawal is the easiest.
"Tell them it wasn't me. She said no so I didn't give it to you."
"You were the one who gave it to me."
"How could you, Crystal."
"But I didn't do it..."

"Why is he not replying?"
"Shy...?"

I once read an interview of Gong Yoo's that he had never experienced loss of a loved one till he was 29 when his actor friend Lee Eon passed away. That was when I realised, “Oh... so there are people lucky like that.”
“你要对自己有多一点自信。至少对我来说,你是漂亮的。”
"You should have more confidence in yourself. At least to me, you are pretty."

Thanks to Facebook I was reminded that I used to care. Too much. And why am I angry? That I cared, or that the world didn't and still doesn't, and I'm supposed to accept that?
Me: I feel so desensitised. What would've gotten me worked up in the past, I now look straight into their eyes, feel only a little of something and have no desire to act on it. Is it because I "learnt to respect choices" or have I succumbed to the world?
KT: You've figured that sometimes one gets punished for caring too much—you're the only one who gets angry, while the world moves on without a care.
"Take your time. It's okay to be shy."

남세희: 다시 못 볼 사람이라 위로가 된 걸 겁니다
Yoon Jiho: I was comforted by someone I’ll never see again.
Nam Sehee: You were comforted because I’m a person you will never see again.

The Power of Strangers (#0: prologue)
Rest in Nature
Sunlight flickers through the dancing leaves
Graceful clouds twirl across the lush valleys
Voluminous silk pour down grandiose cliffs
The shepherd’s dog rustles the grass in bliss
With the ocean current sequinned fish drift
Among the flowy corals Nemo and friends frisk
Silence in the seabed I hear like music
The giant clam claps for me weightless and free
Mountains strong and tall like a dream
The woods lovely and mysteriously deep
Wide lakes blue like cotton candy
The dark sky a shimmering majesty
Boulders sturdy in my grip as I ascend
The sky gets cold as I tread the flower roads
As the mischievous breeze welcomes me
My breath taken with the heavy yellow hue
My vision, filled by beauty
My mind, hushed by serenity
My heart, calmness hugs
My pain, peace eases
So high on crisp air I quietly wish
To disappear and be in complete peace
That the splendid scenery would swallow me
And Mother Earth embraces me, finally.
