i realise
it is not how long you held onto something that made it your own
it is how much of youself you place into that string of life called time
to be able to make it your own.
I used to be afraid to see more
Given the Rashomon effect, it doesn't matter how much information you have
it is just down to you and me.
I don't believe I can still locate my heart when hearsay pulled me into all directions
so I believe in the story you told
and take it as our love story.
I used to want everything to belong
familiarity is my safehouse.
I cannot bear the thought of sharing
especially something I used tears and time to let grow.
But why, things are never the way you want them to be.
if lessons are learnt with less impact than before, please take it as a blessing.
I will try to strengthen myself with better morals
and savor the hurt for later.

be a warrior of love
I started writing out of pain
this is nothing but a product of a self-remedified antidote
until today
it is a place for self-teaching
of bliss :)
have you ever loved deeply enough
so much that you feel like words no longer expresses themselves (excuse moi from a blogger)
so you reach out to everything he love
and try to love them as well
so that you can understand how he lived his life
before you came along.
Someone used to ask what I will do when I realise i fell in love
i said without hesitation
"listen to his music, hear his mind"
understanding, i thought is a bridge, between human alienation.
pardon the years, the gaps, the immoralities.
i thought if one loved enough, one day these realistic spaces will melt like vanilla icecream on warm apple pie
but i forgot something essential
that even if i become vanilla icecream, he is still in another medium.
Love is bilateral.
until I met him
he is not apple pie, but cookies and cream
i remember the first time we had icecream.
I decide to pass, "it is too sweet"
he said "never fear. you only live once"
Im still skeptical until i realise,
even if i am in denial of myself, i am still icecream in nature.
its ok to melt, once in a while.
so you can make life taste different, live it differently.
so long for being vulnerable
if fear for hurt is the reason for denying love
then how can i proudly claim i deserve it without scars at the back of my mind
be a warrior of love
thats the most I can do.
I hope one day when the candle flame flickers in the dark winding road ahead
some morning ray will show me the light
I love you.

make me fearless
10 min ago, i almost decide to abandon my baby
why should a rational grown up hide in this little space and try to sing her heart out
until i told someone important, someone very important
i miss him.
i almost felt a tear on my sleeve.
sometimes, one cannot run away from some real feelings.
even if you try to make yourself fearless
feelings are not a synonym of fear
today i talked to an old friend
about racism, choice and love.
he is proud of all the things he didnt believe in.
i was proud that I didn't believe a single thing he said.
why but if you just fall a little deeper, look a little further
you are not losing it but on the course of finding something.
today i found the reason to believe in love.
because someone told me its fine to get hurt and make mistakes
please just dont give up
just because you feared, never fear for love.

小心翼翼
all this time, i've learnt to be careful.
all this time, i was told to care less.
it wasn't to be or not to be
but to choose and not to indulge
not to indulge in merely the good, but to learn to adapt at the worst
not to shed your inner compass but to embrace your emotions with your rational thinking
to produce a "civilized" choice
and pursue it by running as fast as you can.
if only it can be that simple,
all being said, it is just a very valid excuse not to abide by overdue deadlines.
excuse moi
it has been good.
dont be afraid of better
time can be manipulated by love
please be mine forever.

something called love
when did it become like this?
i once proudly wrote. I will try my best for a better tomorrow. even if I'm so thoroughly hurt I won't be able to feel anymore
sometimes things like that should not sound so certain.
what should one do when they stopped letting themselves feel
when feeling is always the one and only thing I'm certain of
why is it hurting when no one is hurting
why did I stop believing when there is something to believe in again?
why am I doing this to myself?
she said " it feels weird if everything felt too right"
why did I let her words dictate my life
I wish and wish and wish I could believe in what he said
i knew it is not easy for him to do this too
when I love you meant no more than 3 words and 8 letters
how can I tell you what is love.

I wrote Daisy a letter.
He once asked me
What was one supposed to do when you were interested in
another person
I didn’t think,
“understand him”
“love what he loves, listen to what he listens to, see the
world from his eyes”
he didn’t comment, but in my vague memory he said
“it's a pity you cannot own the person you love”
Today I rewatched The Great Gatsby
I wrote Daisy a letter three years ago.
Titled: “ a letter from Jay Gatsby” venue: Gatsby’s poolside
before he was shot
I wonder what I’ve written.
I was amazed at how differently the same movie spelt itself
out
This time, I am mesmerized with Mia Farrow’s hats and hats
and hats.
I no longer cared too much about the missing subtitles or
the lines that appeared in the book and never got to the screen
I was amazed, like moths attracted to the light, no more
I secretly admired Nick Carraway, being an important nobody
who always get to see the entire of Gatsby’s house
The green light. Though, still caught my eye
The villains of love, and who are they?
Its just a movie
It’s just love.

Do you want to know me? I'll show you what you want to see
it is rare for me to have decided on the title of the post before filling in its content
I developed a habit not to label anything, including a post as minute and unimportant as this
the issue of the day:
to what/whom/where am i accountable
I used to take bliss in being a little of everything
like the butterfly that flew here and there
enjoying the feeling of having made an impression.
and let everybody remember the lightest, fearless part of me.
I don't want to make them jealous, no
just to make them believe
that something as light as a feather does exist
that although the world is much deeper than the one before our eyes
its a blessing just to flutter around and have fun
it was working
until accountability sets in my reality
the need for integrity
the need for predictablity
the need for safety
I felt the most vulnerable when falling into a routine
I felt that it is for people who doesn't want to think.
routine was once my safehouse,
I thought drawing a line and keeping myself within its borders will bring me a long way
until the mind starts to crave. for things i have never yet imagined
how can i change my lifestyle to suit my needs.
i was messed up when I fell out the lines
I looked around, the world is space.
much more unpredictable than I could have ever imagined.
is predictability the necessary component of safety?
my instinct told me it isn't
but my rational mind gave me an answer:
knowledge is safety
predictability, in subjective terms, is a means
I hope I get it across good enough.
for now, it means
more reading for the night.
p.s. the name of the post was meant to be accountablity. I will never again name my post before I write.
