QUE SERA SERA

[wordsnquotes]

““Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.”

How to get out?

After how many months and perhaps almost a year, you find yourself still in that same pit.

[just-plain-thoughts]

The Lenten season has just concluded and it has made me realize a lot of things. I guess since this is the “most difficult” year so far because of the many things that has been happening and will still be happening in the next few days/weeks/months. It has made me realize that sacrifices are really worth it when you really want something good to happen. What really struck me was when I had my confession last Wednesday and the priest told me to make sure that I find it in my heart to forgive - to completely forgive. Cliché as it may sound but if God can forgive me for all the things that I’ve done, why can’t I right? That has been my thought the next few days and I really asked for the grace for it. Now I can finally say that I know in my heart I am ready to forgive or in better terms, I have forgiven. It wasn’t that easy but it was like a long thorn that was slowly removed from deep inside my heart. :) Self-fulfilling I suppose more than anything else.

The Science Behind Aggression: Why We Hurt The Ones We Love The Most

Originally posted by sanna-minaord

The Current Directions in Psychological Science journal recently published more than three decades worth of research dedicated why people have the tendency to hurt the ones they love the most. The latest review was published by author Deborah South Richardson, a psychology professor at Georgia Regents University.

In an interview to Huffington Post, Richardson explains, “ The people who are likely to cause us harm of any sort are likely going to be people we know. Whether or not you actually caused harm isn’t the critical issue. It’s that you intended to. If I aim my gun and shoot at you but miss, my intention was still aggressive.“

It eventually gets better, without any sort of explanation; you just wake up one morning and you’re not as upset anymore.

Coloring Book For Adults is Full of Intricate Urban Cityscapes

In an attempt to make pastimes more enjoyable and intellectually productive for adults, Chronicle Books has published a stress relieving or stress-inducing (whichever way you  look at it) coloring book titled Fantastic Cities, featuring intricate architectural illustrations of the most famous cities around the world. With 60 cities to fill in, from New York to Istanbul, Amsterdam to India, the activity requires a keen eye and good deal of patience on the part of painter.

The illustrations featured in Fantastic Cities can be appreciated as a standalone art without the need of pigments. The labyrinth of closely built homes, skyscrapers and chaotic urban jumble is hard to navigate at first glance, but after the first few strokes of colors are placed in, it turns into a fun experience. The book helps unleash the inner creative child in every adult. The challenging book, almost a square foot in size, takes a long time to color in the 60 pages, making the ending bittersweet for the adults patient enough to complete their artistic journey. Get the book here!

Artist Documents Tender Notes Over Acrylic Illustrations From Her Travels on a Moleskine Notebook

American artist Missy H. Dunaway documents her travels across the US, Europe, Turkey, and Morocco with extreme romanticism and poetry. Dunaway illustrates on her Moleskine journal a beautiful scenery with acrylic paint from her time in a specific location, then autographs each painting with a sweet excerpt of nostalgia.

She often composes goodbye notes on her journals, as she bids adieu to each city. Each cityscape portrait reveals a tender thought or memory of heartbreak or a desire for wanderlust.

Some of the lovely anecdotes read:

“Standing in Asia. Looking at Europe. Thinking of New York.”

“I moved to Istanbul (alone). I’ve been looking out my window more than usual.”

“I’ve discovered I have the gift to feel at home jus about anywhere.”

“I’ll press you in a book.”

“I was staring at the blinking lights  of an airplane and waiting for sleep when a shooting star passed across my view, clear as day. I haven’t seen a shooting star in a whole decade.”

We highly urge everyone to click on each image to read the stunning passages. You can find these notebooks and more of her original work in her Etsy shop.
