Do Not Be Ashamed of your Feelings and Life

Why do I feel guilty for feeling something I know that is almost completely natural? Is something wrong with me? Am I overly sensitive again or am I just living in my own bubble? Am I OK to the world, is the world OK to me?

Am I just immersed in ONE person, one GROUP or just living in my own mind-bubble? Letting others determine whether you are living your life right or not should not be the way. Everyone has his or her way of living their lives, and just because one person does not see it the way you do, does not mean that YOU are wrong, or she/he is wrong.

There is no right or wrong. There's just you...and them...and us...all trying to live and survive in this messy world. Everyone has wars and battles that they are not showing. Well, some show it more than others but everyone has his or her own ghost.

Should our battles intertwine, then we should help each other in ways that we can or can afford to, in time and in money. But if we can't, then there is to be no blame. But the bottom line is that no battle is to be ashamed of. I don't have to like the fact that my battles are aired and people are thinking of me in ways that I don't like to be thought of, but it is the truth. I've never been one to hide my true situations and life. It's always been out in the open if asked. In fact, sometimes it is out in the open when NOT asked.

I think that's the way I would like to live my life, and it's always been the way I lived. I don't like to feel this shame when people look at me, think of me or remember me. I am not someone you should be ashamed of. I am someone you should be proud of. Simply because I have come this far.

No, I am not superhuman and no, I am not super-successful. But yes, I am super alive.

R.I.P. to Another Shining Star : Kim Jonghyun

Generally speaking, I DO listen to a little bit of Kpop, not always, but when I do, I am almost always enraptured by the countless melodic compositions and ballads. My favorite Korean singer, to this very day, remains to be Sung Si Kyung and Shinhwa. I've also listened to TVXQ, Super Junior, ZE;A and many others. I sometimes search up Girls Generation because I like how the girls' long limbs are almost always so coordinated, they look like clockwork. But that was maybe the problem...the clockwork. Kim Jonghyun, a member of Shinee, took his own life this week, days shy of Christmas and a brand new year. It tears at my heart a little, the same way it did when I found out Chester Bennington ended his own. Shining stars on our planet, blessed with emotional breath so deep that their emotions would often seep out of their skins and spread across the sea of tens of thousands of fans during their concerts and live performances. Even without being in their presence, their songs a...

Unsticking yourself from Old Belief Systems

It's the raining season over here in Malaysia and going out for anything can be a hassle, you know what I am talking about Florida, Washington and London. Either you are going to end up completely drenched or your sneakers are going to smell a little funky tomorrow. Today, my son said something to me when I lamented about the rain. ' Mom, we've got enough umbrellas, why is it that we never use them and end up running about frantically ?' Good question, my son. I don't know the answer myself. Why? LOL So, we grabbed the few umbrellas on the way out for lunch and we splashed around in the rain, flicking rain water at each other as we catch them falling from the edges of the umbrellas. Like kids do, not worrying about the sneakers tomorrow or getting sick tomorrow. It's funny when kids ask you questions like these and you realize that you stuck to something in your brain without knowing why you're doing it. The answers to why I never used the umbrellas...

A Sweet Life

Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be. But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not. Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...
