Trust

to show confidence and faith in something or someone.

How much trust should you invest in the people around you?
Is it foolish to just blindly trust everyone around you and expect that trust to be repaid?

The basis for a working friendship, relationship, whatever, is trust though, right? I guess the key then is finding the right balance between trusting too much and revealing too little. And hoping that the people you've placed your trust in don't come back and bite you in the ass.

"You are the distance between the way things are and the way I want them to be."

I think, in your circumstances, you'd agree with this.

In and out

I wonder if anything has changed, but it doesn't seem as hard as I envisaged it to be anymore.

Drop in. Drop out.

Betray

It's the little things you do that betray you.

Strange

It might sound strange, but suddenly 6 more weeks of holidays doesn't seem so good anymore. I don't think I can take another 6 weeks consisting of nights like tonight which involve doing nothing at all.

Ironic though that it was only a couple of weeks back I was dying to get away from uni.

We are such fickle creatures.

Quote Unquote #3

"Don’t you hate that? Uncomfortable silence. Why do we feel it’s necessary to talk about bull in order to feel comfortable? That’s when you know you’ve found somebody really special. When you can just shut the hell up for a minute and comfortably share a silence."

Quote Unquote #2

"When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through"

Step back

Do you ever get that feeling where you feel lost and confused?

You wonder, and you start questioning yourself.
are you doing something that you want?
what is it that you really want?
are you heading in the right direction?
what is your place in this world?
what is the meaning of life?

Most of the time, these questions remain unanswered and you are what you were before - lost and confused and you just trudge along hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone will be able to answer your questions.

Maybe we place too much emphasis on trying to figure these questions out, and forget that the learning journey is important in itself too. I guess we really need to let go sometimes, loosen up, go with the flow, and just try to enjoy life and only worry about problems when they come along.

Here's a suggestion...

You're so full of shit you know, so just toughen up a little, okay?

Finished

Done. Dusted. Finally.

Free.

"I need to go to the toilet now - to poo" - Annie Lei

Sugar coating

Sugar coat these words and you're just rather innocent.

Putting it bluntly, and you're just plain stupid.

Easy

Life is not easy.

Life will never be easy - and nothing in life will ever come easily.

You have to work for it, put effort into it, put your time and energy into it and be prepared to make sacrifices. There will be hurdles that you must overcome, and barriers that you must knock down as well in order to get whatever it is that you wanted in the first place. In the end though, despite all that you've put in, things might not turn out the way that you planned them - or wanted them to; your sacrifices have not been rewarded [enough].

But no, you don't stop trying, you don't give up, you continue making the very same sacrifices and more, but the result is still the same. The same problems are still there.

So then you start thinking of giving up - you've had enough of everything happening over and over again.

When though, is enough, "enough"?
When do we tell ourselves that we can no longer take it anymore?
When is it time for us to walk away and call it quits?
