the moment someone stopped loving you, you've lost your happiness.
when you stopped loving someone, you've gained your freedom.
------------
of which, the opposite might be true as well.
------------
the moment someone stopped loving you, you're freed.
when you stopped loving someone, you too have lost your source of happiness.

TGIWeekend!
By Regina Brett, 90 years old,
of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.
Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others.
You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.
But don't worry; God never blinks.
16.Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20.When it comes to going after what you love in life,don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words
''In five years, will this matter?".
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone for everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'll grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

healthy mind happy life
my week was good so far. i took sabbath on mon n caught up with mom n little boy at home. even had the luxury of a little rest on the beach in the evening. it was well deserved i thot n so it had to be rewarding on the soul as well. indeed it was.
made up my mind to.. ditch the depression due to i duno wat and the last month of my 26 is gonna be good. 27 wld dan be the onset of the end of the quarter life crisis, if that is what everyone of my age is gg thru currently in terms of life and work, family n relationships, and money-not-enuff woes, unattainable dreams etc.
i suddenli realised i need a break. to STOP and THINK. but dan i don think i deserve this becoz i tink i had one juz 8 mths ago. but mayb i didnt made good use of it, or rather i couldnt due to, well, limited resources. oh well, that's my life.
dan i realised i shld cut down on my spending. have less wants, they say, to be content. it's pretty tough becoz the wants keep coming esp in the course of tryin to keep upbeat abt life n work. but of coz, i'll try to cut down. on watever that's killing my bank, drinks, late nite cabs, gadgets? hmm.
n oh, i had another great run at the tracks last nite w buddy. 11rounds this time!despite a break of a week with no exercise at all. way to go! n my bike is coming this sunday! yay!

it doesnt cure but it fixes
i am obviously drinkin too much. for what? the high maybe. it cant drown sorrows definitely. but it can help to take ur mind away for a while.
for companionship too. i love drinking w my frens. be high n gone. talk about things u usually wouldnt say. hear tins which they usualli don say or ask too.
3 hangovers in a week. beginning from last sun nite w 3 glasses of white. mon blues was bad plus the dizziness. thur's affair was a beer w 2 magaritas coz it was free flow at harry's, dan dinner at shokudo, dan a martini at Loof, dan we pop a champagne at newasiabar. too much for a wkday. fri hangover bt i pulled thru till the end of day still. dan it was last nite, a movie date, dinner, 2 beers at acidbar, 7 martinis at no.5, n alittle dance at butter. dan hangover today, missed my first cardio class. i actually got up to change.. bt decided not to go coz i realised i was still dizzy. i paid my sleeping debt for the week finally. yawnz............ there is sometin abt gg to work w a hangover. though i hate it but.. it sort of give me a high out of it. like ur mind is greater dan how ur body is feeling and there's a victory conquering it. crazy i knw.
i shld stop. but i cant. its making me high i cant stop. i want to. but i cant do it. broken inside n outside.
choose love n u'll find happiness. excuses, rejecting love n u'll oni get loneliness.
open up ur heart, find love, find happiness. i shld learn.

no i am not emo tdy.
love.. does make ppl do crazy tins. so crazy it can drive the other party crazy as well.
love is blind. it really is. doesnt matter how u look at 3am in the morning.
but if it's love.. it shldnt cause misery or hurt. or agony or pain. to either.
keep things simple..
we just shldnt forget that loving someone is wanting him/her to be happy, and you'll be happy. even if it means not having him/her. the joy of seeing them lead happy lives shld exceed the pain of your yearning for love. difficult to learn but, it's a necessary fact of life.
