my thoughts...

"fear or fail, do it anyway!".

i was channel surfing when i came across the oprah winfrey (how do you spell her name?) show. there was this segment with a lady in it.. and she said that's her motto in life. i think it really makes sense, so it's worth learning from.

being a person who hates taking risks (committments involve risks too.), sometimes i guess its really a "fear or fail" situation. if i fear something, i'll get no where and i'll still end up failing - so maybe i should take my chances (at whatever comes, i don't know yet?) and do it anyway. things may turn out good if i'm lucky :) right? haha.

such a pity though. i can't get rid of my fear of darkness!

been reading through my friends' blogs. and talking to some of them as well. i was reminded of how powerful memories can be. they are part of our past - and as long as we don't forget them or try to forget them but we obviously can't, they stick with us and haunt us. (yea, people like to use the word haunt! i realised that too! boo!)

to the extent that these haunters makes their hauntees feel insecure.. and if the hauntees are somewhat helpless and they lose their sense of hope, they'll just let their insecurities eat them up. because they're insecure, they're obviously very afraid. in some cases, they might start making the world evolve around them when they feel so alone, forming an unseen barrier between themselves and the beautiful and not-so-beautiful (its not perfect) world out there since they can no longer trust anyone or that someone.

in my opinion, since we can't forget the bad, remember the good and keep them in mind (and close to our hearts), always. because they never fail to bring a smile to one's face. (and even if u'd cry, u'll be crying cos you're glad those happy ones existed).

if everyday was a perfectly happy day, without sadness, anger or frustration, then why are we here on Earth? we should be in heaven by now.

it was said that one wouldn't know what happiness was until he/she experienced sadness/anger/frustration - feelings along those lines. its just like saying, do we have to hate someone to know what it is like to feel love? but how true are these statements? - i wonder.
