A picture that came to mind

I was watching a TV programme, where a psychologist was asking troubled teenagers to draw a picture of themselves.

I wonder then, what I would draw… and this photo from my hiking trip 7 years ago came to mind. In the picture, i’m sending there alone, looking at the views and taking everything in.

I would really like to know how a psychologist would interpret it…

That song

I have always believed that I could achieve anything as long as I work hard enough. I have also believed that nobody could take better care of me than myself.
This is a song, i have known since I was 13. I love the rhythm, but now, i begin to appreciate its meaning… we used to think or lead to believe that we could do anything if we’ve tried hard enough. As we get older, we realize that there really are things greater than us, things are beyond our control. We are humbled by it and at the same time, become wiser in the process…

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

out of control

it’s those times when i am reminded that plans are just plans. people and things move on their own accord. regardless on how i will n sometimes predict them to move in a certain fashion, they would just abandon those ideals at the last minute. out of my grasp.

and i’m left alone. to deal with the mess. to cope and gather my ruffles and try to start out again.

i am tired.

Quotes from Anne of Green Gables

“If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I’d do. I’d go out into a great big field all alone or into the deep, deep woods, and I’d look up into the sky – up – up – up into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I’d just feel a prayer.”

“My life is a graveyard of buried hopes”

“That is one consolation when you are poor – there are so many more things you can imagine about.”

“That’s the worst of growing up, and I’m beginning to realize it. The things you wanted so much when you were a child don’t seem half so wonderful to you when you get them.”

the brightest path is often the loneliest one

don’t you think it’s so true?

lonesome

I can’t help smiling when I came across this quote by Jean-Paul Sartre

If you are lonely when you’re alone, you are in bad company.

without joy nor misery

来时欢喜，去时悲
空在人间，走一回
不如不来，也不去
也无欢喜，也无悲

Could Heaven and Hell co-exist on earth?
Yes. Home.

There are…

events that we didn’t want to happen, but have to accept.

Things that we didn’t want to know, but have to learn.

People that we didn’t want to live without, but have to let go.

Today..

I pray for peace of mind to graciously accept the unchangeable,
courage to change those that I could change,
and wisdom to differentiate between the two.

愿上帝赐我平静的心，让我接受我无法改变的事情。。。
愿上帝赐我勇气，让我改变我能改变的事情。。。
愿上帝赐我智慧，让我能够分清这两者。
