  • go on…just do it…you can feel silly later 🙂

  • Happiness is…finally connecting with someone that you’ve secretly admired, not necessarily in a romantic way, without having done anything to deliberately prompt the interaction.

  • Don’t let people label you…or your mind…

  • A healthy dose of self-loathing is usually sufficient to kill any hope you may harbour inside. But, in the process of trying to convince yourself that you’re worthless, take a moment to observe your insincerity. It’s unnatural for any human to sincerely believe that they are worthless. It goes against the very survival instinct that is hard-wired into our reptilian brains. So instead, the same energy we could have applied constructively to alter our reality into one that is more palatable, we apply it to subdue that survival instinct because along with it comes the torture of hope and expectations. But with that comes a demand for trust…trust of similarly flawed humans that we use as a yardstick to measure our own worth, without realising that the yardstick itself is defective. 

  • What’s the point in desiring to know the future when I have yet to figure out my past? If I knew my past well enough, I’d understand clearly why my present is what it is…and since I obviously don’t have peace in my present, why worry about the future? It’s only through reflection that we are able to become self-aware…only through reflection are we able to understand before we accept…in the absence of understanding, we accept foolishly, or not at all.

  • If anticipation of death is supposedly worse than death itself, how much more torturous is the anticipation of love or acceptance that is never fulfilled? At least death will be attained, so its anticipation is never a futile exercise. But love?

  • To be insecure about virtues or attributes of the self, we have to maintain some notion, no matter how remote, that we possess some of it to begin with. I don’t have such insecurities any longer. Acceptance has allowed me to know with certainty what insignificance I’ve achieved in my life and I therefore have no inclination to seek such acceptance from others any more.
