Walnut.

I have been asking myself for some time now, if I am capable of finding true happiness. It is old news that I am single and older news that my social life is about the size of a walnut and the only person i regularly meet nowadays is the Indian mama downstairs my house in his mama shop when i buy milk and packs of gummy bears.

Despite having been married once for a long time and been in a relationship for a long time as well, i haven't learnt much about love. Dousing myself in John Gray's books and mediating on the positivity that the new dawn will bring new happiness, I am still pretty much clueless on finding this potent key in unlocking the treasure of couple happiness.

Already, i applaud anyone who can fully understand me when sometimes i find myself doing a lousy job. I have a very dangerous habit in not expressing exactly how i feel but as if these feelings being exposed will cause the whole earth to collapse and Armageddon comes, i tend to shut down my inner most thoughts to myself and my bedside bears.

Perhaps being INFJ, it is difficult for us to express how we truly feel. And sometimes, people will get the wrong idea about us when all we truly meant is love me back and not love my back.

But i do pity the guy who ends up loving me. He may have a handful and don't say i didn't give a heads up, I am critically insane when it comes to being witty and i like to dry my humour as often as possible. I talk to my teddie bears at all times and i tend to smile to myself when waiting for the bus to come by. I like to lie on laps like a little kitten and i snuggle extremely lots. I have my moods and most times I am gorgeous when perky, gothic when dark. I am a challenge even to myself when it comes to understanding what's inside me and the first guy who can ever dissect me honestly and truly, i will be yours for eternity, that i can promise you.

But till then, life goes on. One relationship after another. Finding that one guy with the potent key.

And even if there's no real love, good food i will settle for, i guess.

The Flame.

The inner flame flickers
towards the wind of night
It dims of pain
when it tries to light

It dies slowly with the wind
holding onto memories that bind
wishing for a chance to find
a miracle so kind
for reality to change its mind.

But the world still turns,
the wind still blows
the pain of light
no matter the losing fight.

The flame flickers
its light so dim
with sweet memories
it only pines.

Live beautifully.

Lately, I have been feeding my soul with beautiful sceneries and good food. Have been too focused on work that i needed to really learn to chill, see the world without deadlines and KPIs. I have been so involved into work that every nano second, I am constantly thinking of proposals, plans and strategies. I had forgotten what it really means to live.

2010 is coming to an end and this year has really been a good year for me. I am not one for resolutions but much have been achieved which i am glad i did it. I remember having dinner with a certain Mr X one evening and we were just chatting about the future. I was asking him what his plans for the future are and what does he see himself doing in years to come. He told me he doesn't know and he rather be realistic and not dream.

Wow.

It took me quite some moments to understand what he just said and digested it. He doesn't know? don't believe in dreaming? Whoa.

I couldn't comprehend. How can anyone possibly not dream? How can anyone don't believe in what they have now can become something bigger by having a vision? I don't have my head in the clouds but without dreams, we tend to box ourselves up easily and get contented too quickly.

Probably this is his way in finding happiness. Someone once told me - what drives you is who you really are. I ask myself that everyday, hoping to find the answer i am searching for. There are times i place less value on myself, shortchanging what i am really worth. This is not right and i aim to change it for the new coming year.

I want to fully live and live beautifully.
