"There is no fate but what we make.." - John Connor

I like this quote. But it's hard to follow. It's easy to say that you want to make your fate. But sometimes things don't just go the way you want. And sometimes life is just cruel. But, given the chance..if you haven't done all you can, then can you say that you've tried your best? You -think- you're out of options. But have you really gone through each one of them? Not just think it? All Talk and No Action..did you really fight for the future you want?

"The pen is mightier than the sword.." - Edward Bulwer Lytton

Another one. It means words sometimes hurts more than actions do. Sometimes...think before you spew something out. Whether it is online, or to someone's face. You won't know. You might've taken a chunk of someone's confidence away..or the feelings they had for you might've been damaged. Next thing you know, you could've murdered someone with your words. It's no surprise. Some people have been driven to suicide by mere words, especially in Korea.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage." -- Lao Tzu

The quote is self explanatory. It's apparently the 'mating' season (crude way to put it) all around. People hooking up faster than the speed of light. Next thing you know, they're all over each others throats. What happened to sorting things out? What happened to supporting each other? Trying to be an individual in a relationship? Things don't really work that way, unfortunately. Love takes two. Love by a single person without any return is called loneliness. Something I know pretty well.

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most do. -- Dale Carnegie

This is probably me, lol.

You are where you are right now in your life because of the choices you have made and the actions you have taken. If you want to change your life, remember that change starts with you.
-- Jeffrey Keller

This. Very good. Why? Because it's easier said than done. But its something worth keeping in mind. Although change can come in many forms, good and bad. It depends I suppose.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. -- Seneca

And this. Been there a few times..

Appreciate what you have with you, before it's gone. You can never tell the unexpected. What may be there one day, may be gone the next. Life is fragile like that. If you love someone, tell them everyday. If you miss someone, tell them right away. Once they're gone, you'd regret all you've never said. --Author Unknown

We've heard this many times. But how many of us actually appreciate our lives fully? I know I don't..What about you?

Lastly..

If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.

To Min dear, I miss you..
