Never Ever

True that.

Envy

"The more we have, the more we want. And the only cure is to break the cycle of relativity." - Predictably Irrational

I realized how much I have changed and grown over the years when the subject of "envy" came up in class today. Professor asked us to describe what it's like to feel envious and what we do to handle the feeling. I'm sure everyone has felt envious of others in their lives. I, too, used to feel that way a lot...especially when you add social media into our gen y lives.

But I realized something today. A kind gentleman has taught me so much on this subject. I have never met anyone with such a big heart. I have never seen him envious of others. I have never heard him talk negatively about anyone. Whenever something good happened to someone, he would say "good for him!" "good for her!" "good for them!" and he genuinely meant it. I didn't believe he was sincere at first but two years I was with him, he remained consistent in his character. That kind of thinking has influenced me and has shaped my way of thinking towards life.

Now whenever I hear good news about others or just see their glamorous photos on social media, I hardly and rarely ever had the "envy" feeling...If they were my friends, I'd just think good for them! Really, there's no point in being envious of other people. Sure, you can make it as some kind of motivation for you to better yourself, but most of the time, being envious just leaves you bitter and unhappy with your life. Instead, be happy for those people and honestly, you end up being happy yourself with the blissful feeling of warmth and kindness.

Love Me Like You Do

I'll let you set the pace...

'Cause I'm not thinking straight...

My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more

Modesty or Self-Destruction

Having a low opinion of yourself is not modesty. It’s self-destruction.

Something I Learned

Never get attached.

Never expect.

Life becomes so much easier that way.

'Til I Get Over You

You got me like a loaded gun, golden sun and sky so blue...
We both know that we want it, but we both know you left me NO choice

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je pratends que tout va bien)
So I'm counting my tears 'til I get over you

.

We both know we can't change it, but we both know we'll just have to face it

We both know that I'm not over you....I'm not over you....

Falling From Cloud Nine

I'm wide awake.
Yeah, I was in the dark. I was falling hard with an open heart.
I'm wide awake.
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake.
And now it's clear to me that everything you see ain't always what it seems
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long.

I wish I knew then what I know now. Wouldn't dive in. Wouldn't bow down.
Gravity hurts. You made it so sweet. Til I woke up on the concrete.

Falling from cloud nine. Crashing from the high. I'm letting go tonight.
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine...
