So we're already into our fourth week of school. How is it that time seems to be zooming by at double the speed in our final semester?? And I'm still slowly getting my engine started.
These days I've been lacking the inspiration to pen down thoughts, or do anything else for that matter. So many grand plans and thoughts floating around in my head, but it's hard to organize them into anything coherent and worth noting down.
Chinese new year is coming, and this year it feels different, what with everything that has happened and is happening in the family. I can feel myself drifting away, I can feel a barrier forming.
Sometimes I think we are such insignificant beings, so tiny, so helpless. Nothing more than a mere speck of dust in the bigger scheme of things. And yet in our daily lives we go about feeling so self-entitled, so important, as if we really matter. Or squabbling over trivial things, as if they really matter.
“That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.”
- Paul Coelho
