watching while someone you love is making the same mistakes you have,
and not being able to help/prevent it.
It is a sad thing to see a man who has been frittered away piecemeal by petty distractions, and who has never done his best. But it is still sadder to see a man who has done his best, who has reached his utmost limits - and finds his work a failure, and himself far less than he had imagined himself. —Matthew Arnold.
i feel kind of disconnected.

Alas! is even love too weak
to unlock the heart, and let it speak?
are even lovers powerless to reveal
to one another what indeed they feel?
i knew the mass of men conceal’d
their thoughts, for fear that if reveal’d
they would by other men be met
with blank indifference, or with blame reproved;
i knew they loved and moved
trick’d in disguises, alien to the rest
of men, and alien to themselves—and yet
the same heart beats in every human breast!
Imogen Heap- Thriller (Michael Jackson Cover)
This is absolutely amazing.
this photo reminds me of the cereal party and refreshing bs session we had on wed (:
being thankful about the essays and the deadlines, with some feeling of utter despair and doubt, the constant reminder of my God who is stronger than all this. and the weight is a gift, that the Giver knows i can bear with His strength.
and though the storms may come
i am holding on
to the rock I cling
“I am no longer my own, but yours. Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will; put me to doing, put me to suffering; let me be employed for you or laid aside for you, exalted for you or brought low for you; let me be full, let me be empty; let me have all things, let me have nothing; I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things to your pleasure and disposal. And now, glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you are mine and I am Yours. So be it. And the covenant now made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.”
— Wesley’s Covenant Prayer
took this just when ky came to meet me at gardens. i like it cos it has the beautiful warm feel of gardens which feels so much like home, the lights and the colours of the sky, and a tiny sliver of the moon. (:
