testify to love

There are always lots of thoughts in my mind that i want to type out and share with everyone, but often I feel that that's not the kind of stuff people want to read. (plus, i'm kinda lazy to keep a diary, lose it, start another diary.. ..) And I don't want to go around teaching people about life and how to live their life.

I've always lived by a few values that i've sort of "discovered" for myself through the years.

You are as happy as you allow yourself to be.

Seeing people, especially young adults, wallow themselves in self-pity pisses me off sometimes. I must admit I used to do it a lot when I was younger, but i've come out of it. And at least be able to realise it when i'm doing it. SO, there is hope for everybody.

Being happy is easy. All you have to do is try to look at the positive side of things; people and situations. See less of the negative and you'll see how easy it is to get by life and feel gratified with all the little things that life offers.

A few weeks ago, I brought Garrett, my little primary 3 tuition kid, to East Coast Park. He had so much fun and now keeps bugging me to bring him there again. I had 10 times more fun than him. The most substantial and meaningful thing i've gained is joy.

We have to learn to find joy in the simplest things and forget the negative as much as possible.

Joy comes by quite often, you have to capture those moments and acknowlegde them. Then those happy moments will be locked in forever.

I might not be the happiest person on earth yet, because I haven't fully mastered the skill of forgiving and forgetting the bad. When i'm able to do that, I know that's when my heart has space to contain all the love that the world has to offer.

But I know i'm the luckiest person on earth.
