choice. begging.

They say beggars can't be choosers. Most true. If you don't have anything and you're aching desperately for something, you take what you're offered. No comment. No fuss. You just take it and be grateful.

But there's also the other side of the coin. Choosers can't be beggars. As long as you have a choice, as long as you make a choice, there's no begging allowed. Embrace your choice. Own it.

So I'll make my choice such that I never have to need to beg.

the war

The worst thing about being at war with yourself is that no matter what you do, you always loose. And unlike the usual wars, it can also end without no one winning. Most of the times you just have a pretty good chance to loose on all fronts and in all ways.
And there will always be other casualties. Innocent bystanders who just happened in your life. Or even the people who care about either you or your sworn enemy self.
So what can you do? Well... you could do the cowardly thing and just run as fast you can. But really, do you honestly think you can outrun yourself? So please, for your sake, and mine, and theirs, offer me a truce and just try and get along.

people like doors like people

IMG_3977

Reasons why people are like doors:
  • some are transparent and automatically open to anyone that comes near
  • they have spyholes to watch the outside world, and a few even have keyholes you can use to peep at the inside
  • most have many complicated locks, but all can be opened with the right key(s)
  • the outside rarely says the truth about what's behind
  • forced entry breaks them

the neverlands

Lands of myth or truth, lands seen or heard, lands found at the end of rainbows or at the edge of the world, lands in one's head or dreams. Lands some reside in, lands some dream of, lands we visit, lands we run away from.
  • neverenough - the land of want, the land of lust
  • neverhappened - the land of lost memories
  • nevershould - the land of broken rules
  • neveragain - the land of regret
  • neverhoped - the land of surprises
  • neverme - the land of masks, of hidden selves
  • neverdone - the land of the things not chosen, of paths not walked
  • neverforgiven - the land of consequences
  • nevertrue - the land of broken promises
  • neverthesame - the land of lessons learned
