Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
this year’s love September 20, 2009
Suddenly felt like I should document what has happened this year. It really has been an eventful year, and honestly, I’d never have seen (most of) them coming.
But some things should remain private. I suppose..
This year I:
- lost a few close friends
- fell in love with a boy who’s so different and at the same time similar to me
- survived one month (almost) alone (not really) in a gorgeous place
- have met one of my favourite persons (domdomdom) only once (I think!!)
- spent more than I have in the past 3 years combined (really..!)
- learnt that love comes in different forms, and that “possession” is not a subset of love
- realized that i really love my family
- went to hong kong, switzerland, korea, macau (and will be going to finland at the end of the year)
- bought more than 20 pairs of shoes
- will be moving out (alone)
- learnt how to drive
- had my heart broken
- failed a test for the very first time
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
-Mignon McLaughlin
I really really love some people right now. It takes big things for us to appreciate things we take for granted, really.
Every mornin’ I look at you and smile
Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down..Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down.<3
许愿 September 15, 2009
I’ve always been afraid of making wishes.
More than a decade ago, I watched this unforgettable (horror) television series. One of the episodes was where they portrayed how we can never gain things (that aren’t supposed to be ours) without losing things that are even more important to us.
It made me wonder then, if I had any wish that I would want granted, at the expense of anything in my life. Afterall, we can’t control what would be taken away from us.
I’ve been making way too many wishes, and now that things are seemingly beginning to move towards the direction of my wishes, I’m afraid. But now, I can still console myself, because other aspects of my life are turning out exactly contrary to my wishes.
Or maybe, wishes are nothing but mere wishes. They don’t affect anything.
Maybe.
Why do people believe in the things they believe in, even when sometimes there really isn’t any reason to?
