I LIKE YOUR MIND.

Picture: http://data2.whicdn.com/images/104760132/large.jpg

To be honest with you, I pretty often get caught up in my own little bubble, where just my opinions count and nothing else. Yes, you're right - it's not the best attitude. And I agree with you. Hence, I always find myself in an uncomfortable situation whenever I meet people that have a totally different opinion as me. I learned that that's the beauty of being in a dialog with other minds, though. Of course, it's one of the best things to be surrounded by like-minded people, however, the more you're closed off to other opinions, attitudes and views, the more you stagnate and your mind doesn't get the nourishment it needs to be able to develop. 

LENT'14: THE 'WORK IN PROGRESS' TYPA SITUATION

"How do we wait for something we need so badly, something we know for certain is God's will, and something that we just can't live another day without? We must wait patiently and confidently, not complaining. To do otherwise would be to insult God by displaying a lack of faith in His ability to deliver. We renew our strength by "waiting" for the Lord (Is 40:31)."

Yes, it's lent season and I haven't given you guys my two cents yet.

It's a strange habit that my mind has. Whenever I try to study for exams, my mind just wanders away and the energy that should be spent on trying to remember what I've just read, simply transfers into things that my overthinking produces. Hence, I overthink - a lot. It's one of my worst habits because this overthinking just leads me to emotions that I don't want to feel. I don't want to spend my day in doubt, insecurity and anxiety. Especially now, during lent. I want to be at peace with myself and my circumstances. That's what I want for myself. And how is that possible? In trusting and relying only on Him. 

Yes, I am a work in progress. I haven't yet gotten to the point where I can confidently say to my struggles 'Come at me, bro, I'm ready!' After everything that has happened last year, I can say that there's still a lot of mending to do. The broken pieces apparently take time to heal bit by bit. Fears have to be overcome. The mindset has to be right. And hope most importantly should never be lost. Out of everything that is still unclear to me, situations where I don't know what specifically is going to happen, I know where I want to be and I know how my heart should look like. Step by step I want to get there because I know He uses ordinary people to create something extraordinary and I seriously want to be part of that.

And during this lent, I feel especially blessed and grateful. Even though the struggles are always here and they won't fade that quickly, somehow I've learned to keep my eyes on what's worth. And during the first week of lent, He affirmed so many things in my heart. He knows my heart. I've kept the faith, you should too!

My flesh may fail, but my God you never will.

"WHY IMPATIENCE HURTS YOU NOW AND LATER" by TERRY JARROD

While going through my Newsfeed in the morning, I came across this blogpost.  Do you ever have that, when you're going through something specific at the moment and you randomly and suddenly find a blogpost, video or even just a song and you feel like He is talking to you through them? This is what I had when reading this post. Sometimes life gets too overwhelming and you lose sight, focus and clarity. I'm thankful for these little insights I get every now and then when I need them the most. I hope you enjoy this article, I've taken from the Weblog 'Bold&Unashamed'.

The article just sums up everything we need to know and what to remember while we are waiting. Don't lose focus. Work hard and be patient!

ON ACCEPTING YOURSELF.

How many of us walk around day by day putting up a facade to just be agreeable to other people? How many of us try to impress other people by pretending to be a person they are not? How many people walk around with a huge pit in their stomach, knowing they need to be that and that kind of person just to fit in with their peers?

I know, it does sound a bit Highschool-ish, but let the truth be told, even when you're out of Highschool, you will still find yourself hiding your truest self behind a mask. But why is that? Simply out of fear of being rejected. A lot of us, including myself, always seek to be perfect in each and every life situation or to each and every person you meet. Honestly, I can say that it used to be a lot easier for me to be myself around people in the past because I knew who I wanted to be surrounded with and who not. Nowadays, you come across gazillion of people and your attempt to be perfect will always get harder. A couple of months before a good friend of mine told me, she really liked how I was so confident around a bunch of different people and how I would never pretend about who I really was. It really struck me because I've never seen myself that way. When she asked me on how I managed to handle that so well, I told her exactly that - to know who you want to surround yourself with. 

In the course of time, you will surely see how bad people want to stay in your life because when it comes to the point where your ugly and your worst version comes out of the closet and is revealed, only the people who are worth it are going to look past that and accept you for who you are. But most importantly, you have to accept that as well. You have to accept that just by trying your hardest to be pleasant and agreeable to every person around you and live up to their expectations just to stay in their lives, won't get you to that goal because you're not doing it for yourself but for the other. You were put into this world to His perfect image and His likeness. It would be such a waste to think you should be different just to conform into this world because the secret is, that you out of all people are already perfect to one - to God. It is something very unlikely to believe at first, but isn't it a lot easier to know this detail in a world full of judgement and superficiality? Whenever I try to remind myself that little yet powerful detail, I sometimes wonder how I should survive in this civilisation that is only about your looks, your material things and your social status. Then I simply just count how many people I know that love me the way I simply am and not what I have - and that is enough. It is such a huge blessing to know that no matter how much you messed up and how much you are still going to mess up, they will always stand by your side. Friends will come and go, it is inevitable, that's why keep the ones close who are willing to stay in your life and who are making an effort to do so. These blessings should be appreciated each and every day as much as you have to appreciate yourself too.

Don't hide from your weaknesses, but come out and turn your can'ts into cans! Be free from your imperfections and your shortcomings by simply accepting your faults and live in freedom!

FEAR.

Picture: http://25.media.tumblr.com/13df4555930fe6880115eefe15dd5c75/tumblr_mosspjBsmI1ssjx7ro1_500.jpg

Each and every person has fears. One would fear spiders, the others would fear needles or heights, or students would fear exams or tests, but what about fearing life and its happenings? See, people's actions are motivated either by love or fear*. Which, in some way is very true. How often have we refused a potential life-changing situation out of fear of changes? How often have we avoided serious conversations out of fear of being rejected? How often have we failed to open up to people who loved us out of fear of getting hurt? And how often have we tried to control each and every area of our lives out of fear that everything would fall apart?

TWOTHOUSANDTHIRTEEN

Picture: http://weheartit.com/entry/47851274/via/hipsters_#

Yes, I should be studying but this post will be kept short! Since I haven't really posted a recap-of-2012 post, due to lack of time during the holidays, I just want to share what I have planned for this year. A dear friend of mine showed me this and I just think - since 365 days are quite long and lots of stuff can happen which you might just forget - it's a good idea to keep them noted, literally said. So, I decided to make this 2013 jar where all of the good things that happen to me this year will be jarred up in there, ready to be read at New Year's Eve. How about you join the fun?

THE LAST: "WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY"

"A simple question, "How many have you loved?"

Is your answer, one and only? Or is it several, all of whom have shaped your life?" - Wong Fu Productions

Another great short film by the talented Wong Fu Productions. They amaze me everytime. Starting with their filmmaking, editing and leaving it off with their amazing storytelling. The plot of this shortfilm is simple yet very deep and that's what makes it so special. I am inspired, they inspire me to make simple things great and I can't stop raving about this one.

Just the other day I got weirded out by my mother who seemed to ask me a lot of question early in the morning where my brain wasn't really awake yet. So I kept nodding to all of her questions until she asked how my lovelife was. I nodded and added that it went well. She then said, "You know, your dad was my seventh!" And then she just left the house because she was late for work. Anyways, she left me there quite confused althought I knew in what context she meant it.
Just like in the video above, my mother taught me that if things go wrong with a certain guy, that life goes on. But more importantly, that the people who walk in and out of your life, shape your story on Earth. That is why I quite confidently go into the world being appreciative (or at least trying hard to be) with every person I get to know, because who knows how they can shape your life?
And don't be intimidated by how many partners your current other half has had because there are thousands of better reasons why she/he is with you right now. Just be grateful to the past people she/he was with because they made her/him the way they are right now - they learnt from their mistakes, they learnt how to treat to you better, they learnt how to teach you how to make things better than they did.
I am very happy and thrilled with where I am right now regarding my lovelife, yet I can't imagine and see what still lies ahead of me. But for now, I'll just stick to being happy, glad and excited because the man up there writes my story.

MEMORY LANE

CONFESSIONS: CHALLENGES

Picture:  http://kushandwizdom.tumblr.com/post/30806492822 

Currently there is so much new going on and it takes some time for me to get used to it but I am getting there and my efforts are on the highest level. I took up the challenge to get out of my comfort zone and as much as I am very unsure and quite afraid of failure, I will keep on going because these signs are just pointing towards growth. Even though I feel like there was a set back in my personal growth, I cannot dwell on thinking that I am not good enough for every opportunity that opens for me. It is true, not everything turns out to be something for the longrun but then again, if doesnt work out, I can be sure that God has a greater plan for me. That's why I need to keep on reminding myself why I wanted this, for what and for who I do all this.
In times like these, I admit it, I feel pretty alone because I feel like noone can help me but myself to get through this. Of course, I will never be alone and I have the most supportive people in my life but in order to grow, I need my mind to focus on its own and not through other people.

I won't apologise for seeming helpless and I don't care if what I've talked about is not a big deal. Every person is different and also has a different way of tackling new things. All I need is the feeling of support whether I am going to fail or not.

AU REVOIR, L'ÊTE!

It really took me a while to get back and write something. Especially for this summer.
Just a couple of months ago I was stressed with studying for my exams which I thankfully passed, I was stressed with Congress preparations which felt less as a burden but more of great bonding time and more of service and the time went by so quickly I was surprised that I did find some time to take it all in and appreciate it. I felt honoured to be part of the EYC's Service Team and it really felt good that people believed in me and gave me a responsibility.

We don't really see it but we do inspire people every day and we are persons that can be looked up to. It is impossible to live a life without mistakes, faults or bad habits but it is possible to turn your back on them. Life really isn't about fighting your way through it on your own - it's more about knowing you have the right people on your side and fighting through life with them. That's what I figured out at the most random moment. I really can say it made 'click' and I understood that being selfish about your struggles doesn't necessarily make you a strong person when there are people who want to help. What I don't wish for anyone is having to go through life on their own because they have nobody. Because no one wants to help.

This summer I have also learned to be less proud. Especially when it comes to family matters. I've learned that they really only want what's best for me and I used to doubt that before. I used to see that as a threat from them for not letting me grow up but at the end of the day and with time, I really understood what their point is and I am grateful that they stopped me from something that I would have realised was wrong before I even could. And of course, if you have expectations, you cannot stand there and wait for them to know what you want. That's where I had to swallow my pride and make the first step and I can say I'd rather have that now than still be on the same spot waiting for nothing and complain about it.

Sometimes you get the feeling that you as a person have to change. And sometimes it's out of all the wrong reasons. But I say don't change. You have no idea how much your personality as it is now has helped so many people before. I must admit though, that there might be some parts of you that have to go through improvements but make them good and change for the better.

Just when I wonder or reflect on things the quote "Good things come to those who wait" always seems to prove itself to me. And as much as I'd like to go with the flow and have this at the recent time and have that to be uptodate, I rather hold back, take a breath and ask myself why I want that and realise I am not that person to be uptodate at all and that I am more the person who waits for things because as well as I know myself, if it weren't for my patience, I wouldn't be able to appreciate things that I have now and I guess my life would have just gotten by in a speed that I couldn't keep up with.

Summer is over and another chapter starts. There are a lot of challenges I have to face yet but I say "just come at me, bro" because I know that when these challenges are faced and when the struggles are pulled through, then I know that I am growing as a person and to the person I want to be.

HAVE A GREAT SCHOOLYEAR EVERYBODY! SHOW THEM YOUR STUDYRANGER SKILLS!

WHAT YOU DESERVE by Chelsea Fagan

Just the other day I kind of felt pretty off life, if you get what I am saying. I just had a great vacation and just the thought of reality creeping up behind you in seconds was just pretty too much for me to handle. I pretty much think everyone has those bad days where your mind just keeps playing one trick after the other making you feel pretty miserable. But who are we kidding? None of those disappointments, hurts or pains matter because just by thinking and counting your blessings makes life worthwhile. And even if you do not feel like it, you deserve every good thing on this planet (except Dan Scott, because he really was a bad guy in OTH... joke).
So, I invite you to read this great article. It made me feel so much better after reading it. Hope it has the same effect on you too!

What You Deserve

AUG. 6, 2012 By CHELSEA FAGAN

You deserve to look in the mirror every morning and see someone that, though not perfect, isn’t trying to be. You deserve to walk past the billboards and commercials that show staged-and-Photoshopped images of what and who you are supposed to be and laugh at them, secure in the knowledge that you are wonderful because you are real. You could imagine that the models themselves must be so much greater in person when not reduced to a pose and a cheesy tagline — maybe they are at their most beautiful when just stepping out of the shower, hair still wet, and excited to go eat a good breakfast — but you don’t compare yourself to them. You deserve to love your body simply because it is yours, and it is capable of so much.

You deserve to look past whatever is displayed on the outside, whatever code lingers on your skin to be read by society and neatly organized into some compartment about who you “are” — fat, thin, ugly, tall, awkward — and be even more in love with what exists within you. Of course you may have moments in which you regret past mistakes, or dislike a character flaw that you know you need to work on, or feel the rope of maturity tugging at your ankle saying “Come on, catch up,” but it doesn’t define you. You deserve to appreciate all of the wonderful qualities you bring to the table, instead of relentlessly harping on yourself for the categories in which you fall just a tiny bit short.

You deserve to look for love, if that’s what you want, and be ready to accept it when it comes your way. You might find yourself overwhelmed and even briefly in disbelief when you realize that someone actually loves you for who you are and wants nothing more than to be with you, but you should be able to embrace that unconditional caring with your own. You should wrap your arms around them and cover them with your whole body — flesh, bone, the ugly little cracks and scars that they can’t stop kissing — and know that you are a good person, who is worthy of such joy. You deserve not to question every person who gives you a compliment or tells you that you’re wonderful, not to wonder if they have some ulterior motive, or if you are somehow the victim of an elaborate prank. You should realize that you are worth loving because you are ready to love back.

You deserve to go through your day and take in the good parts, breathe in the good air and appreciate the little things that too often go unnoticed. You should know that a strong flower growing in a city sidewalk, a child laughing and blowing bubbles, or strangers that smile at one another and mean it are all things worth loving, and which make your day a net positive. You deserve to live your life for the joys and not the frustrating slights that are out of your control — to be able to say that, because you held the door open for an older man with too many bags on his arms, your afternoon was good. Though the profound effect these tiny moments of happiness can have on all of us are often lost in the shuffle of life and its myriad injustices, you deserve to look at them and see them for the victories of compassion and simplicity that they are.

You deserve to try, and give it your all, but be okay if you fail. You deserve not to spend so much of your life berating yourself for not having been “good enough,” especially when you’re not even sure what “good enough” might entail. Your job might be strenuous, your classes impossible, but you deserve to be able to do your best work and, at the end of the day, put your pen down and sleep well. You deserve to have a personal best that is good enough for you, to not constantly feel as though you’re outrunning yourself with expectations, to the point of sapping the joy out of a hard day’s work.

You deserve to be truly happy for others. You deserve a life that is filled with its own successes and triumphs, that is carved out in the image you desire, and that is not effected by the perceived victories of others. Sometimes others may get things that we wanted for ourselves, but you deserve to be confident enough with your own life and journey that someone else’s achievement is not directly detrimental to your own desires. You deserve to see success not as some finite pie from which we must all take exactly one slice, but rather a constantly evolving and growing garden in which we can all flower and reach the sunlight.

Perhaps most of all, though, you deserve to be okay. You deserve to know that a day in which you can just barely get out of bed because you are sad, or sick, or simply not ready to see the outside is not the end of the world. You deserve to know that moments of weakness do not make you fundamentally weak, only fundamentally human, and that sometimes we’re not going to be effusively happy, and that is okay. You deserve to be happy just existing and not constantly holding yourself up to a standard of fake smiles and forced cheerfulness. You deserve to not beat yourself up when you do not reach perfect acceptance of your body, your personality, the love you receive, or anything else that may come your way. Though you should know that you are worthy of these things, learning to be happy just in a kind of stasis with yourself is a long process, and you should know that we are all working on it. You deserve to live through all of your emotions, all of your states of motivation, and know that as long as you are treating everyone with kindness (including yourself), you have nothing to be ashamed of.

PERSONAL: FERNWEH

Picture: http://thedecemberissue.tumblr.com/post/4697801505 

Die letzen paar Wochen waren so ziemlich ein auf und ab der Gefühle. Es waren Tage, in denen ich von Angst geplagt wurde und in denen meine Gedanken einfach Dinge schwer abschütteln konnte. It was a mind-thing und ich habe Stärke bewiesen, da diese Tage jetzt endlich vorbei sind. Nach der Angst steht jedoch der Zweifel ganz groß auf meiner Stirn geschrieben. Zweifel an allem was ich tue, denke, fühle. Der Zweifel verfolgt mich bereits eine ganze Weile. Mal war er in meinem Unterbewusstsein, mal ist er kurz erschienen und war dann wieder weg, aber in letzter Zeit lässt er einfach nicht locker. Früher habe ich gerne an alte Zeiten gedacht, reflektiert wie ich mich früher gefühlt habe und ebenso nachgedacht, wie die Situation jetzt aussieht. Nur zu meinem Bedauern kann ich nicht mehr auf diese Art reflektieren, denn sobald ich dies tue, dreht sich alles um Dinge, die mir und meinem Herz nicht gut tun. Aus diesem Grund vermeide ich meine romatische Art und versuche mich umso mehr anderswertig zu beschäftigen. Es sind in den zwei Jahren so viele Dinge passiert, die ich anscheinend nicht richtig verdaut habe. Vielleicht bin ich auch einfach in meiner Traumwelt gewesen und musste mit einem Schlag ins Gesicht der Realität ins Gesicht blicken. Es gibt so viele Dinge von denen ich schwärme und man sagt mir, dass ich diese Dinge mit der Zeit bekomme/erreiche, doch ich bezweifle dies. Vielleicht wurde ich in letzter Zeit auch einfach zu oft enttäuscht und komme mit den Enttäuschungen nicht richtig klar - ich weiß es nicht. 
Jedenfalls klingt es zwar sehr danach, mich vor meinen Problemen zu verstecken, aber ich würde nichts Anderes machen und meine Sachen packen und irgendwo hinfliegen oder hinfahren wo die Leute mich so hinnehmen wie ich bin, keine Erwartungen vor mir haben, mich inspirieren und mich einfach auf einem Weg begleiten, den ich derzeit brauche. Fernweh habe ich demnach schon sehr lange. Einfach raus aus der schnellen Stadt, raus aus den Bekanntschaftsräumen, einfach raus und in Ruhe meine Gedanken wieder schlichten. Natürlich würde ich zurückkommen, das ist keine Frage, denn ich weiß, dass mich der Heimweh dann wieder plagen wird. Aber derzeit ist so eine kleine Reise ein Luxus und deswegen muss ich eben das hinnehmen, was ich gerade habe und zusehen, dass ich auch so klarkommen kann.

PERSONAL: WHAT HAPPENED WITH LIVING LIFE?

There are so many things I want to do and see but it just seems like everytime I want to do things for myself it just doesn't feel right. There are so many things that keep holding me back and somehow I got to the point where I am craving for someone to say 'Why don't you cut her some slack and let her do what she wants?'.
At the moment, I am just having a really hard time accepting the answer 'no'.
Throughout my teenage years it was never the problem because I hoped for more 'yes'es in the future, when I would be done with my Matura and such. But the more I was craving for seeing the world, going out there and max out my potential and live out my dreams how I wanted it, the more 'no's I came across. And here I was at the same spot where I left off.
I am at the point where all these restrictions make me feel like time is running out to live.
Of course, it's no big surprise that we are all going to die at one point but I wouldn't want my life to end without being proud with what I have accomplished for myself. No regrets.
It is just sad to realise that I have yet to learn to think for myself. I have to learn also knowing what's best for me and take turn now. And I guess the most important part is that I should learn how not to live up to people's expectations but mine, since it is my path to go. I know, I am not the only person who struggles with that life perspective.

And I conclude by saying that I just want to live my life and be happy and I guess I am ready to do whatever it takes.

LA VIE.

I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud.And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that 

my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. 

I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open 

and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. 

I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes

and read books so good they make me jump up and down,

and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.

I SAY CHEERS TO THE TEENAGE YEARS!

Yesterday, I was blessed with another year in my life. Yes, it was my Birthday. Whoop whoop for two decades on this Earth. I can feel how my limbs are starting to get soar and how my sleeping pattern changes from sleeping very late to falling asleep at 8pm. Hah, no, I'm just kidding, even though I've just slept around six hours or so and don't ask me why. Before everything else, I want to thank everyone who made my day as special and fun as I've never imagined it to be. You guys rock my world and you all know who you are!

Now that I'm starting a new chapter in my life as a person with the number two in her age, I am sort of anxious about how I'm gonna develop. Looking back at all those years, I just realise how effortless and easy some situations were. I could handle most situations by myself and as much as it bothers me to know, I kind of figured out that many things will not be as easy as they had been before and it might need some help from others along the way. I guess, at this point, I will be having to work real real hard for the things I want and need in life. At this point, I need to start reaching for my dreams in order for them to come true in the next ten years. And I am fully aware that this new chapter in my life comes along with more responsibilities, harder decisions to make and also hurting disappointments. Living life is a learning process and takes time, of course, but with the current right people in my life, I guess it won't be as hard as if I wouldve still been surrounded by the wrong people. If you've got the impression that I am a person who has it all together, you are wrong because I am a person who is basically scattered all over the place, finding herself in a melee most of the time, but again, this is part of growing up and it sure scares me. Being at this point in life, I pretty much guess also means, no excuses.
Everything sounds so serious although people at my age in colleges have the time in their lives. This can mean the same for me but since I was pretty much unfocused these past two years, it is high time to get that drive going again. I can go on and on and on about how I plan my future and the way I want it to be but hands down, I am not in control of it. That's why I lift everything up to the man up there and just hope that the dreams in my mind will still come true, through Him.

But as for now, I need to focus more on my studies, keep the right people close and try to avoid all sorts of dramas! And life... bring it on!

Demi Lovato's 'Stay Strong' Documentary

I've just finished watching this awesome and inspiring documentary of Demi Lovato's time of struggle.

This person isn't just another Disney Channel actress, she is so much more than that. But looking past her career and looking at her as a person she has accomplished so much more than every other teenager has. She struggled with eating disorders, depression and self-harming and through treatment she decided to live life.

Demi has inspired so many young girls and I am glad that she spoke up and openly talked about her problems since nowadays, problems are just swept under the carpet, left unsaid or just swallowed down.

It takes courage and the will to act as a role model but you can be one if you want to change the world we live in. Maybe it is God's purpose for you to be here on Earth. Always think you are down here for a greater purpose. Embrace it and live!

All for looooove... dubi dubi duuu

Yesterday was one hell of a day. The girls and I got together again to celebrate Vs big twenty birthday. Since we all took half a day off for that occasion, we also spontaneously surprised Mr. Soldier EJ outside of VTown. Being Travelgirls, we thought we knew where we were heading, however, after an hour ride on the train we kind of ended up somewhere in the middle of nowhere! Luckily the people were kind enough to help us out and we actually arrived on time. After watching soldier EJ marching around with his camerades, the girls and I had dinner at this awesome All You Can Eat Sushi restaurant. I ate so much that I ended up whining about how full I was. After girlie talks and random laughs we ended the day with some Chai Tea Latte and a Black Tea for me :) I love these girls and I am so excited, what the guy up there has in store for us in the next couple of months. I bet it's gonna be epic! Much looove!
