"there are times i just feel so lucky...even if i dun have much"
my favorite quote from Le petit prince
Taking advice from my favorite quote from Le petit prince: Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux (It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye), I took my time picking my bunny, looking for a special one.

old sayings
Don't panic.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
The smallest deed is better than the biggest intention.
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
The only reason you die is because you live.
Take the chance while you still have the choice.
The only thing you truly own is your time.
Be brave enough to live creatively.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Always begin with an end in mind.
The eyes believe themselves; the ears believe other people.
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.
Pick a path with heart.
Take a chance in the near future.
Change your luck today.
Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.
Let the spirit of adventure set the tone.
Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, feel, find, and love.
Be mischievous and you will not be lonesome.
Originality overcomes everything.
Good luck is the result of good planning.

"learn to write about the ordinary. give homage to old coffee cups, sparrows, city buses, thin ham sandwiches. make a list of everything ordinary you can think of. keep adding to it. promise yourself, before you leave the earth, to mention everything on your list at least once in a poem, short story, newspaper article."

A Day is a Tourist, A Year is a Traveler
『A day is a step, a year is a tango. A day is a tourist, a year is a traveler. A day is a chance encounter, a year says love. A day is frustration, a year is a melody. A day is a lump of clay, a year is whatever you want it to be. A day is a thought, a year is a philosophy. Every year counts. Glenfiddich.』－Glenfiddich〈Every Year Counts〉TVC

Creative Thursday: everything is always going to be alright
(via)"everything is going to be alright. [...] Hard to see sometimes, but always true when I look back over my life. "
寫給a的，一起走過就更往前了！
"其實我一直不確定的是我自己在愛人面前的樣子，要堅強還是要脆弱。直到遇見了你。我才知道，原來我既可堅強，也可脆弱。而那脆弱，是你賦予我的。我也不知道你打哪來的能量，能夠承載我的大哭，能諒解我喝過酒後的脆弱，能包容我偶有的自卑攻擊。"
keep your heart
"Keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. It’s the way to happiness. Try this for a week and you will be surprised." -- H.C. Mattern
love & fear
"Deep down, at our core, there are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety, and guilt." - David Kessler

前言︰希望你不要找到我。
「她說她倆的愛情變成了習慣，只有感情。習慣的開始，都是默契吧？是大家用時閒和精神去建立，有愛情，也可以有習慣的。還是你有了新刺激，於是馬上覺得舊有的都不能令你感到有趣了？」

給自己的筆記
不要比較，也不要計較，關係裏一但摻雜算術，便像購物，像車像樓像衣服，隨時可換「更好的」

林燕妮的青春之葬
「原來當你聽到一個人遽然去逝的消息時，你的反應才是你對那個人的真正感覺。你不能控制的，你沉默的心那時會跳出來說話。」
那些關於心碎的歌...
「有時候選擇分手，真的未必是因為第三者，只是因為累了，疲倦於要對一個人繼續付出、繼續貼心、繼續包容，你會累到連提起嘴角安撫對方不安的情緒都感到厭煩」
「其實，心碎是有聲音的，那滿載的情感在失望的瞬間，是會真的通通摔落在地上的，而那是真的真的有聲音的，所以這些音樂人才能用這些音符勾勒出心碎的故事唱給失戀的人聽」
i will work for vitamin C
About 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years.
'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.'
'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.'
I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ...
... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit.
You know, in a manner of speaking.

.i crave simplicity.
because life [and people] are already too complicated.
│讓我們互相依賴吧，我說。
「常常我說著心情，你竟也平靜的接到球，懂得爵士的人說它是即興抓到的球而呼應出的默契，常常我想說什麼，甚或不想說什麼，你都能從輕微的舉動中，不經意的脫出口。」
Wim Wenders的Wings of Desire
「愛上了你才漸漸明白，要留住一個人，靠的從來不是眼淚。」
專屬的溫柔
"但那些個只有妳們才懂得的笑話和秘密，妳知道，別人的胸膛即使會更暖，但再也不到他專屬的那種溫柔了。"
快樂悼語
「我們可以生活簡單點、高興些。別為快樂寫下悼語，因為我們一起的人生才剛開始…」
好運
「真的有旺夫這回事嗎？ 現在覺得 是有的. 當你愛一個人, 冰雪聰明的你 是會自自然然 在適當的位置 協助他/她, 方便他/她.」
