personal disaster



















life can be such a car crash sometimes. you know you're not doing the right thing but the moment you realize it, you're already knee deep...

*sigh* there are times when our small pleasures in the world can be so costly. you kind of know that it'll end up ugly but for momentary things, you are willing to ignore everything and just look up and be dazzled at the fireworks for a while.

*laugh* it's so tragic and yet funny. in a way you know when the last firework pops it's light and glitter you're gonna face the harsh reality. but you know what? i'm tired of thinking what to do, what to decide.

let me just have my hands off the steering wheel for a while and enjoy this beautiful disaster...

optic illusion

why put a horizon upon yourself when the sky is sooo wide

many a times we limit ourselves with our personal self doubt. i recently went back to jakarta and was chatting with a college friend whom i haven't been in contact for months. we were talking about achievements (or the lack of them! haha) we have had for the past 3 years since we graduated. it kind of saddens me to see that he seems to be taken for granted by his company. the thing is he seems rather content with the condition giving the usual humble excuse.

i'm not saying that being humble is wrong or anything, there are times when eating the humble pie is necessary however let's not make it as an excuse to explore our own capabilities and potentials.

you are who you view yourself. the first step on achieving something is knowing you can achieve it and believe strongly in it. if you are unsure, ask your best friend, they might be a better judge and give you honest opinions regarding your potentials and capabilities. the sky is wide, let's not get trapped in the optic illusion of self doubt.
