7 Secrets of Happiness

1. Have a good core group of friends.

2. Build some adventure into your life. Don’t fall into “the same old, same old”.

3. Research confirms that “stuff won’t make us happy” so clear out the junk – and only keep what you love.

4. Work on establishing balance in your life. Don’t be too busy or you’ll wind up depressed.

5. Give in to temptation every now and again. Too much discipline is boring in the end.

6. Like and appreciate yourself. Take time to notice and affirm your strengths.

7. Start living in the moment – don’t doubt every move. Accept your decision as the best one for right now.

Is it right for me to hold on?

To hold on to our memories

To hold on to the connection we had

We both know it wasn’t meant to last

But why am I still here?

Nantucket in Autumn

The off season Nantucket is so quiet and peaceful. I made these photographs a few weeks ago.

I hate you so much it makes me sick It even makes me rhyme I hate the way you’re always right I hate it when you lie I hate it when you make me laugh Even worse when you make me cry I hate it when you’re not around And the fact you didn’t call, But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you, not even close, Not even a little bit, not even at all. — 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), dir. Gil Junger

Adulthood is an art of endurance.

To be able to hold it all in while walking through the frontdoor of a hospital on your own. You’d reminisce how your parents held you by the hand, spoke to the doctors on your behalf because at that time, they knew exactly who you were and how you felt.

To teach your eyes to keep all the tears from flowing out because you’re in front of someone. Literally anyone. Be it your best friend, your family, your partner, your colleagues in the office you’d considered your friends. So bathrooms and bedrooms developed into being your listeners and watchers.

To make ends meet both for yourself and for your family. To set aside your passion in order to be in a job that can pay the bills. To tighten up your belt and to swallow air while staring at any form of luxury other people may only consider regular.

To bear in your mind that you can never wholly rely on anyone because the world’s relying on you. So you proceed to your daily struggles of proving yourself worthy of recognition, interest, love, rest, comfort, and legacy to be remembered about.

And sometimes you’d just find yourself laxing on a bench on a breezy 8PM, staring past the dusky clouds travelling the night sky, holding a bottle of cold beer and guiltlessly puffing a cigarette which smoke you never let go in beyond your tongue.

Survival and winning are painstaking and the only choice we got going on around here is to endure. To endure.

Talking to someone at midnight pretending you couldn’t sleep when you’re actually waiting for that person— your favorite person, so you could tell him/her what you couldn’t tell the world.
