one fine day

[thebookquotes]

How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.

— Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

[thebookquotes]

I always feel like I'm struggeling to become someone else. Like I'm trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it's part of growing up, yet it's also an attempt to reinvent myself. By becoming a different me, I could free myself of everything. I seriously believed I could escape myself — as long as I made the effort. But I always hit a dead end. No matter where I go, I still end up me. What's missing never changes. The scenery may change, but l'm still the same old incomplete person. The same missing elements torture me with a hunger that I can never satisfy. I guess that lack itself is as close as I'll come to defining myself.

— Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

I've decided to make myself strong. As far as I can tell, that's all I can do.

There’s a lot of pressure for your looks and your life to look a certain kind of “perfect” way. But life is so much more beautiful because it’s imperfect! I hope little penguin and little pear can help remind you of this fact. 🍐

You will have days where you feel better, and you will have days where you want to die. Both are okay. There is no magical cure. You just need to close your eyes, and trust that the waves will pass, and soon you’ll be able to breathe again.

[jehovahhthickness]

I want my kids to grow up thinking that I am their safe place.

I pray that their world never comes crashing down on them but if it does, I hope that their first thought will be “It’s okay because at least I have my mom to help me get through this”.

About Loneliness on This Lonely Planet

Sometimes you don't want to be here.

You feel like you don't belong to anything or anyone on earth.

All you wanna do is dancing among the stars, wishing the moon are not too cold to embrace.

And perhaps aliens are not that scary.

You think isolation is the cure for your heartbreak.

You think loneliness is the consolation for your desperation.

You think detachment from disappointment will bring you to happiness.

You convince yourself to stop "saving the world" so you can save your own soul.

But the voices don't stop there.

There's another part of yourself who is mourning; missing something you never belong to; trying to reach out to somebody because turns out, loneliness suffocates you.

And suddenly you crave for a smile, hug, phone call, or thirty seconds chit chat on a bus stop.

You wish someone will notice your existence for once.

Just to make it clear, that you're not forgotten.

So here the contradictive part starts.

You miss the earth but you're too afraid to fall.

You miss the warmth of the morning but you're too afraid to wake up.

You miss the touch on your heart but you're too afraid to get hurt.

It's hard for human to maintain a good, stable, and interdependent relationship.

It's hard. Because it is important.

We'll never run out of disappointment. Because we, human, produce it.

We are also good producers for heartbreak.

Perhaps we could build Heartbreak Inc. for that.

I figured out the slogan:

"Prove you're not a robot!"

But no matter how hard, imperfect, or complicated human relation is, doesn't mean we don't need it.

Sometimes we need to accept the flaw to see the beauty.

Sometimes we need to lower the wall to connect each other.

We already know how hard it is.

So, be grateful for relationship you grow from.

Forgive the imperfection.

Spread more compassion to each other.

No matter how far the distance, we all are bonded together as equal human being.

So, give your hand.

Give them another chance to gain your trust again.
