3 Dolls, 2 Decorations, 1 Thought

Here is my tiny story of 3 dolls, 2 decorations, and 1 thought.

3 Dolls - March 2012.
While walking past some elderlies in a park, these handmade dolls caught my attention. A woman next to me told me that whenever she comes to the park, she sees this middle aged lady knitting dolls; she knits just for her own enjoyment. My first thoughts when I saw them were "Oh, these are so cute!" and the artisan asked me if I wanted to buy any. They were not very expensive, and I really liked her handicraft, so I bought them - 3 Dolls.

2 Decorations - December 2012.
Not too long ago, my aunt told me a story on how she went to help disabled children. The children there, although disabled, were very talented musicians and even made these little decorations, under the instruction and guidance of youth volunteers. My aunt had purchased a couple of these handmade decorations. After telling me the story, she showed them to me and subsequently gave them to me - 2 Decorations.

Life Lesson: Crap

Let's face it.
Some people live to make your life miserable, to make you feel bad about yourself.

But I ask myself, will I take that crap?
No, I will NOT take their crap!
Because a) that's just disgusting, and b) what would I honestly get from taking their crap other than odd looks and an unwanted smell trailing after me?
Exactly.
NOTHING.

Long story short, don't poop on other people or their lives.
And if you do happen to get pooped on, just brush it off, ignore it, and walk away from that unpleasant stench of jealousy and envy.

------------------

Well, I hope this makes sense to you to some degree.
I used the word 'crap' in its literally meaning, being a synonym of 'poop', simultaneously using it in the derogative way to express a lesson that I have learned.
Maybe it was a more...interesting...way to put things into perspective...
Maybe it just made things slightly more difficult for you to understand.
I don't know.
I just hope you got something from it :)


Love from,
a person who does not take people's crap and does her best not to poop on people,

Exam Hiatus.

Stand Out and Be Proud

"You gotta stand out, be proud

Time for you to shine.

You're special, beautiful.

You're one of a kind." 

- Stand Out (Bratz)

Why do we all try to fit in when we were born to stand out?

I'm pretty sure the majority of you have heard this quote, or something along the lines of this before. 
...
Well, why do we try to fit in?

The answer is pretty simple.
It is in human nature that our deepest, most inner desire is to feel accepted and to be loved.
It gives us a sense of belonging, of encouragement, and of support. 
It gives us self-confidence knowing that people believe in you and love you.

And with that, I leave you another question: why do you change who you are for people who are not important in your life, just to fit in?

Simple, short, and to the point.

RE: What Is Love: The Red String of Fate

"An invisible red threat connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break."
- Ancient Chinese Belief

The red string of fate.
An Eastern Asian belief originating from a Chinese and Japanese legend.
According to the Japanese legend/myth, the gods tie this red string of fate around the little finger of two individuals who are to meet someday in their life, hence the use of the word 'fate'.
These two individuals who are connected by the red string are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. In the Western world, we call this 'soulmates'.
