Penning down that entry wasn’t an easy task, much more for the posting part.
The response was expected, especially from you.
I have told myself those but as time goes, those valid reasons don’t seem to hold one bit.
Perhaps I read too much in between the lines, too much in between the in-between-lines.
Perhaps I value certain people much more than the rest that ridiculous expectations begin to form.
原因之因太重视。
With expectations comes disappointment. It’s a well known fact.
So it’s best to look back from time to time and adjust yourself back to the main course.
Don’t let yourself steer too far from the main route.
I may have wandered off from the common ground that we all share.
At this moment, I have pulled myself back and I’m back at the common ground that we all acknowledge.
以平常心看人看事， 对人不分生疏不分高低。
Hopefully, we can talk about this candidly during the next meet up.
& Bon Voyage! Fly up the highlands safely, don’t roll down the mountains!

What’s the best joke that life ever tells on you?
When you think you got it right,
When you think you have figured it out,
And life comes along showing you
how wrong you are,
how naïve you are,
how ignorant you are. Living in the world of yours, unaware of the changes around you.
日久见人心
Many have mentioned this phrase, but does anyone truly understand its meaning?
It’s painful and heart-wrenching to live through it.
Never will it be an experience that one will wish to know.
& so,
Not many can take such jokes that life cracks.
Can you?
What do you do?
Book a one-way ticket (first-class).
‘Cause you knew you’d never see the ground (light)
Unless you were aboard a jet plane and it was going down.
And so, you woke up beside the ocean and felt alive with the breaking waves arriving and rushing all around you.
Aloha, my happy west coast friends. *waves goodbye* my east coast friends.
As desirable as it could be, still it’s just imaginary.
My imagination.
If you feel that I have disappointed you, I have done things that I should not have and hence upset you, by all means blame it on me. Take it out on me. I am at fault as I never know how to balance out my time. I never know how to manage relationships; both family relationships and friendships. I failed badly.
I won’t mind taking the blame if that makes anyone any better.

Unless the first step is taken, you’ll never know the power of self.
Yet, in a bid to grow stronger both emotionally and mentally, do look back and keep track of your progress.
Always be reminded of the source of your strength
& the purpose of that power.
Stay with us.

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
We need time, only time.
