hamlet's soliloquy
Everybody’s got a dark side. Do you love me? Can you love mine? Nobody’s picture perfect.
I was just thinking about how if I ever got away with killing someone, it’d be a huge secret to hide. First of all, I could never tell anyone I was seeing. Would you date a murderer? Didn’t think so. I also don’t think my future children would ever forgive me if they found...
priorities
I’m thinking of taking on 15-18 credits in the fall. And every semester after that.
Full time at Kwantlen is 9 credits. So while I’m technically a full time student, 9 credits allows enough time in my schedule to also have a full time job. Doubling my load next semester (and every semester after that) would mean that I quit working, or work one shift a week (if I could even handle...

Taking one’s own life is the most selfish thing a person could ever do, and while I would never seriously consider than as an option anymore, I have to admit that suicide has been on my mind a lot lately.
all-weeker
You know how there are people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from? I’m like that, but with sleep - I don’t know when my next sleep is going to be.
I’m pulling an all-dayer (as opposed to an all-nighter, get it?) today for the first time in 2 weeks, and it’s KILLING ME! How did I survive this past year sleeping on average 4 nights a week???
After...

oh also!
I helped Cassandra set up her TFSA and start saving for retirement today. Yay, bonds. haha. I also upped my investments by 40% today! And I was able to because I am now debt-freeee. I’m in a pretty good place right now (for 24), and it makes me so happy.
I love personal finance! If there’s anything that reaally makes my heart beat (besides yoga, gender identity issues and my...

valenofficial replied to your post: To all the people saying “May Pastor Manuel’s situation bring glory to God.”
Wow, who is saying that? I’m scared to go on Facebook and see what other retarded things people are saying about this on there.
Save your sanity and stay off his wall.

okay,
It took me an entire night to process this, but I think I’ve got it now.
Manuel has cancer. He might die.
Vanessa had cancer. Esther had cancer. They didn’t die.
Does having faith mean I’m supposed to be okay with all possible outcomes?
I found out yesterday that Manuel has put the Discipleship 101 class on his bucket list. That’s when I promised myself last night that...
x-eyes
Descartes once wrote:
“As a child I was in love with a girl of my own age, who was slightly cross-eyed. The imprint made on my brain by the wayward eyes became so mingled with whatever else had aroused in me the feeling of love that for years afterwards, when I saw a cross-eyed woman, I was more prone to love her than any other, simply for that flaw—all the while not knowing this was the...

Not just a few years down the road. Not just 2-3 years. Try five. Try a decade.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately… I want my master’s degree. I want to buy my dad a car. (He’s never had a new car.) I want to retire in my 50s?
Is it doable? If I could commit to tripling my investments in the next year and onward, do you think I’d have enough saved to retire...

One of my favorite design inspiration blogs started a beauty blogged, so I followed it.
It’s the first beauty blog I’ve ever followed. I browsed through a couple posts and kinda felt disgusted with myself afterwards with the shallowness of it all.
But I don’t know, maybe it’ll teach me how to be a girl.
Once upon a time, someone told me that I wanted to be treated like...

love languages
the 5 love languages: words of affirmation acts of service physical touch quality time gifts
The languages we use to give and receive love aren’t necessarily the same, although I think mine are. About a minute ago, I was thinking again about how I spend most of my paycheque on everyone else but me. I pride myself on being good with gifts and I look for opportunities to give people things...
I know how hard this is.
You’re afraid that it was nothing; that he’s forgotten it already, tossed you like yesterday’s paper and moved on without another thought. And if he’s forgotten, it’s almost as if it never happened. That what you had with him wasn’t real. And that makes you feel completely and utterly alone.
But I haven’t forgotten. I know it happened, I know it was real....

24th.
How have I been 24 for a week already?
• Kimmy and Hazel got me tickets for Cirque du Soleil! Michael Jackson: Immortal. This will be a very emotional night for me.
• Cassandra and everyone treated me to dinner at Sanafir! Yummy.
• Cath, Paul, and Peterson watched The Hunger Games with me even though Paul had already seen it and Cath had to stay up really late and Peterson wanted to see 21 Jump...
Watchpesareh:
I can only imagine the bullshit these men and women have to go through everyday.
Speaking as a former Adventist believer, it breaks my heart to see people fighting against the very fibre of their being in order to make others happy.
To those who struggle with what they were raised to believe and who they are, you are in my thoughts.
This is one of my hang-ups about the Adventist...
LTG: life transformation group
new thaaang we’re starting at OAC.
groups of two or three people who meet once a week for an hour to talk, connect, pray, whatever… Had my first meeting with Esther this morning at 7 AM (after work for me, before work for her) at Blenz.
I physically felt LIGHTER when we were done. How awesome are those friendships where you can be completely honest about what you’ve said and...

waiting on a miracle.
Yes, it is possible to be completely immersed in evidence of God’s presence and still not believe in Him. It is possible to be surrounded by countless miracles and still not believe in them. The reality is, until you’ve experienced or witnessed either of those for yourself, in your own life, firsthand, they don’t exist to you.
I must sound like a doubting Thomas, but my...
