Until We Are Broken, Our Lives Will Be...
Only when we enter our wound will we discover our true glory. As Robert Bly says, “Where a man’s wound is, that is where his genius will be.” There are two reasons for this. First, the wound was given in the place of your true strength, as an effort to take you out. Until you go there you are still posing, offering something more shallow and insubstantial. And therefore,...

Girl: “I guess I really dont know who he is anymore”
Friend: “You do. You just refuse to believe it.”
A Month In London
I’ve not had the urge to put something up here for a long time so here’s a post just to let everyone know i’m still alive!
It’s been a month in london and i hate to say it but so far it’s rather uneventful. How eventful can it be when you’re rushing to finish your work as fast as possible right? But I’ll be heading to the Notting Hill Carnival on Monday...

Defending A Relationship
I had a random thought today about how one defends a relationship, and realize that although the guy is supposed to be the defender, the girl also has a role to play in defending the relationship.
How the guy has to help the girl fend off doubts and thoughts and even other guys, and assure her that he is capable and can support them both, and keeping other girls at an appropriate distance as...

The Grass is Greener
I’ve been finding it amusing what riles me up and what cheers me up the past few days. It’s always something that doesn’t go according to how I want, how I feel, how I planned that makes me frustrated. Sometimes it even goes so far as to be something that would have actually been pleasant but came at the wrong time and caused some disruption to me.
At other times, small little...

Love is...
…never making the other person feel threatened.
…never taking lightly what the other person takes seriously.
…does not use another’s words for own selfish advantages.
…gives a reason to trust.

First week in London
Yup, a week already has passed - and that’s why i haven’t been putting up stuff here! I’ve been busy moving in and getting all the stuff i need everyday. The funny part about moving into a new place is that you find out a lot of things that you kind of take for granted - like the presence of laundry racks or clothes hangers or shoe areas. Cultural differences make things work...
