No relationship is a failure if we learned, grew, and gave and received love, even if it didn't last forever. - Tiny Buddha

Friday, October 27, 2017

“To wait. This was the first lesson I had learned about love. The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways -- and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don't know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.” ― Paulo Coelho
“Love fills everything. It cannot be desired because it is an end in itself. It cannot betray because it has nothing to do with possession. It cannot be held prisoner because it is a river and will overflow its banks. Anyone who tries to imprison love will cut off the spring that feeds it, and the trapped water will grow stagnant.” ― Paulo Coelho
“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.” Rumi
即使你在外面的世界只是一隻小螞蟻,但回到家你就是孩子的全世界 - 爸媽雞湯 縱使我不是甚麼女強人 但在孩子面前我就是他的全世界!
"Let me tell you the secret to healing–it’s learning the art and patience of acceptance. Accepting exactly where you, your life experiences, and how you feel in this world that is constantly changing and shifting. Many times we are trying to 'improve' ourself by not really truly feeling our pain. It feels overwhelming at times, but accept that you feel this way. You can’t truly be happy unless you free yourself from not feeling and this comes with accepting every single emotion you encounter on a daily basis: sadness, grief, joy, peace, love. None of them define you, they are simply getting you in touch with yourself on a deeper level. Grief and anxiety are teaching us what we need to let go. They are also showing you how much love you have inside of us. All of our emotions come and go–nothing is permanent. By learning the art of letting go you will discover peace. For peace is simply being present with exactly what is. By discovering peace you also learn to embrace happiness more and more, but happiness is also not permanent and it will come and go out of our life so we must be careful not to cling. When you begin to accept, you let go of notions that it should be a certain way. There’s no way it should be than what it is now. Accept that and then let it go. When fall comes and the leaves fall off trees they don’t cling their beautiful golden leaves, they let go and fall to the ground. They know winter is coming and they get ready to be with the stillness for the next coming months. They let go one leaf at a time. Nature has a lot to teach us if we take a minute to simply observe the changing patterns around us. It’s never the same–we are constantly changing and so is everything around us. It’s not suppose to stay the same and we must learn to accept this process for what it is. When we can embrace ourself for exactly where we are in life we discover what it means to live in this body. We no longer have to run away, we can sit in the stillness of silence knowing that it’s okay not to be okay. Knowing that our leaves are changing and falling and we must learn to courageously let go so we open up room for something new to come into our life." - Adam O.

葉倩文 - 愛的可能

愛的可能 作詞/作曲:李偲菘 編曲:Terence Teo 你出現我身邊像個奇蹟發生  沒想到會是你讓我如此失魂 我心中的感覺是這樣陌生  快樂的牽掛在相聚的每一分 曾以為我見過所有愛的可能  這一刻才明瞭 我有多麼天真 想給你全世界 一刻我都不願等  想要你的心 卻怕不能成真 因為你有你的人生 我有我的旅程  在前方還有等著你的人 你會哭會笑會愛會傷神  你會不會敲我的門 雖然你對我的認真我也感動萬分  你終究不是屬於我的人 但記得在你孤單的時候  我會伸出雙手 我會(就)是你朋友  到永久
