J’aurais dû être plus gentille
"I should have been more kind."
That is something a person will never regret.
You will never say to yourself when you are old,
"ah, I wish I was not good to that person."
You will never think that.

A competitive and insecure woman will tell you that “true love” is never giving up on someone you’re in love with. A confident and spiritual woman knows that “moving on” doesn’t mean you never loved someone. Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself. She realizes that letting go is what she needs to do because both your happiness and hers requires taking different paths for spiritual growth. Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing, but it is the most “real love” you will ever experience.

Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it. Right is right even if nobody is doing it.

“It’s not fair. People claim to know you through the things you’ve done, and not by sitting down and listening to you speak for yourself.”
But if I am to speak for myself, would I be able to translate my thoughts through to my voice? Which thought would I choose? Would I choose wisely or would I even choose rightly?
Would my vocal chords shake? Or sputter like the cough of an old car engine..
What would I say beyond apologies and would it mimic the sounds of a battered record player, twisting and turning unevenly, producing whispers of white noise.
Would I be crying? Again?
And if I do cry, would the rolled salt droplets land on my knees or would they find a way to stain your shoulder - or are you already too tired?
Would you hold my hand and help remedy the effects of being misunderstood - or are you already too tired?

Butterflies can’t see their wings. They can’t see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.

View your life with kindsight. Stop beating yourself up about things from your past. Instead of slapping your forehead and asking, “What was I thinking,” breathe and ask yourself the kinder question, “What was I learning?”

“See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.”
— Wayne Dyer

Sometimes I stay quiet because I’m tired of trying to explain myself. But I didn’t start it.. I never intend to hurt people. I just don’t react very well. Sometimes I feel stuck inside this body and it’s painful to be here. Sometimes I feel really misunderstood.

My mom turned to me and said, “你这几天都一直陪妈妈.” Which translates to the fact I’ve been spending a lot of time with her lately - something I thought was expected according to our filial duties but also something I didn’t mind because my mother is my best friend. I thought about the last X number of holidays I’ve spent away from home, away from her. And then unintentionally, but naturally, how many number of holidays I have left. Because as I get older, I get to reflect more on the chances I didn’t take, the moments I failed to be truly present in (because I was on my phone), and the people who love me unapologetically, absolutely and unconditionally. When I was 10 years old, my mom said to me that someday I wouldn’t want to hang out with her anymore. What she didn’t know is that we always find our way back home. Happiest New Year ♡

If you feel that you don’t fit in this world, it’s because you were here to create a new one :)
