Some Things Just don’t Change


There are always certain things in life that remain the same, no matter how time evolves. Some places maintain their allure, some feelings permanently dwell in the heart, and some people, whether liked or disliked, will never fail to remind you of why you felt that way about them in the first place.

In elementary school, or even long before, kids were taught to understand the one basic principle of friendship, and of life. The Golden Rule. Treat others as how you would like to be treated. Why is it, that certain people, will never fully comprehend the importance of this statement? The one thing that ticks me off the most, apart from people chewing with their mouths open, is people who are only nice to you when they need you for something.

Just because some people are naturally too nice to stand up for themselves, does not mean you have the right to take advantage of their willingness to save you from calamitous situations after you have treated them like dirt.

That’s the end of my annoyed rant, but annoyed is way too much of an understatement.

Moving on, C, I hope everything’s going well in Victoria. Your absence from the apartment made me realize that we haven’t hung out since school started, we haven’t gone to Robson like we were supposed to, and we haven’t had the chance to get to know each other more. When you get back, we’re having a girls day out, where we go downtown, splurge, and eat an astronomical amount of comfort food. Smile. This post’s song is for you.

Initial Inspiration

Second year has begun. Time is flying by and work is piling up. This is going to be the beginning of an amazing year, I just know it. A few days into September, on Imagine Day, I met a girl who was completely unique and not afraid to express her individuality. The form of this expression? Her blog. The way her thoughts flowed into fiction-like stories became my ultimate inspiration. She didn’t write about daily events, she wrote about experiences, ones that made her grow and learn. This made me realize that my impression on blogging was totally wrong. A blog doesn’t have to be a replay of your day, but a reminder of those daily thoughts worth remembering. And that is the whole reason behind my new blog, to learn, and not forget, to smile, and cherish. (Thanks, D.C.)

I feel good being back here, in the city that I love, surrounded by the people I care about. I didn’t think it’d be this easy. Moving on and just making the best out of what life throws at me. I’m happy again. After countless summer hours of pondering whether I’d be able to readjust, I think I’m finally at the stage where I don’t have to keep on reminding myself to smile, I just naturally do, and that’s a fantastic feeling.  I feel so free, so motivated, and so in love with life.

As promised for someone special, here are the pictures of my room. I’m in love with it. I love how it belongs to me, and how in it, I feel so much at home.

Room 1

[My door, come by and leave me a note!]

Room 2

[The view is pretty great for the second floor!]

Room 3

[Lots of pillows to make it cozy!]

Room 4

[I disliked unpacking, but I loved organizing everything!]

So that’s it for today! This week is jam-packed with things-to-do, people-to-see, and books-to-read. But I love being busy.
