it's personal discussion


Favourite quote;Perhaps you can feel if you can¡¯t hear.
Perhaps kind thoughts reach people somehow, even through windows and doors and walls.

'Are you learning me
by heart, Sara?'
'No,' she answered.
'I know you by heart.
You are inside my heart.'

I haven't been properly updating this journal, but I've been doing a internship at a kindergarten to complete assignments/observations from school. I was placed in a four-year-old class and today will be my last day. I'm gonna miss them ><

'When I am telling it,'
she would say, 'It doesn't
seem as if it were only made up.
It seems more real than you are ¨C
more real than the schoolroom.
I feel as if I were all the people
in the story, one after another.
It is queer.'

Favourite quote;¡°If nature has made you a giver,
your hands are born open,
and so is your heart;
and though there may be times
when your hands are empty,
your heart is always full,
and you can give things out of that¡ª
warm things, kind things,
sweet things,
help and comfort and laughter¡ª
and sometimes gay, kind laughter is
the best help of all.¡±


Finding Home
Remember when the grass was tall
And we built castles out of golden straw
Our feet were bare, our tangled hair
Blew in the humid ocean air
The old blue house reflected on
The mirrored sky within the silver pond
And horses grazed inside a maze
Of thistle thorns and barley blades
And I'm following a trail
That I've seen in fairy tales
But the crumbs I left behind are gone
So I'm trusting in my feet
And I'm skipping to the beat
Of a heart that's sweet on finding home
We rode our bikes out in the rain
And felt the jingle of our pocket change
Off to explore the bins galore
Of penny candies at the corner store
And I'm following a trail
That I've seen in fairy tales
But the crumbs I left behind are gone
So I'm trusting in my feet
And I'm skipping to the beat
Of a heart that's sweet on finding home

'Why,' she said,
'we are just the same ¨C
I am only a little girl like you.
It's just an accident that
I am not you,
and you are not me!'

Genuinely applaud myself for not crying in front of the kids when I had to leave. Since they always pestered me to draw their belongings on my notebook (when I really needed it to take notes), as their goodbye gift I drew cards with their faces or belongings to be pasted at their cubby holes. Their expressions...were definitely worth staying up until 5.30 am. I just got super emotional at their surprise 'thank you' and when I got to hug them. I know realistically they won't remember me when they grow older, but perhaps they'll have a flicker of recollection when they hear the Christmas songs playing.

Favourite quote;¡°Whatever comes cannot alter one thing.
If I am a princess in rags and tatters,
I can be a princess inside.
It would be easy to be a princess
if I were dressed in cloth of gold,
but it is a great deal more of a triumph
to be one all the time when no one knows it.¡±


? Travel Goals ?Writing this because I know I'm going to chicken out when I'm older and I need to not regret my youth.
- Take up scholarship overseas, with grades that you earn. Make sure every penny you spend on your education comes from your own hard work. Do not burden the people around you.
- Go budget backpacking with my close friend through Europe for a year. Save up the money and ask for nothing but to experience new cultures.
- Streetbusk overseas
- Teach/volunteer at any place which needs help
- Return to Japan and Taiwan
- Stay for a period in the countryside

Favourite quote;¡°When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word -just to look at them and think. When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wished they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in - that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies.¡±

4 October 2017Really creeped out now. So I had a friend here (A.) who I talked to for a long time, and some traits was that she often posted pictures of herself; quotes, 19, was from the UK. She disappeared without any warning and I assume she just deactivated her account - which while I respected, wish she gave some warning beforehand. A few months or so later, this other girl (B.) popped up who had all the same traits, typed similarly, but had a different name and face. I accepted despite finding it odd, and we talked for about a week before she deactivated as well.
Last week, I received another friend request from B. after months. I ignored it and later found her request disappeared from my feed entirely, meaning she deactivated it again. Now, I've just gotten a friend request from C. who friggin has all the same traits. Wtf is going on


Aww you don't need to worry about the aesthetics, at this point I'm just randomly sticking gifs and stuff into this journal xP
A. and B. both deactivated without any reason, which is why I find it so odd and irritating (if you invest time to talk to someone it's bc you actually care ya know :/). And I honestly don't know if it's the girl acting as someone else or some troll that's been stalking me. I talked to A. for almost a year

A mist rose before Sara's eyes.
"She is hungrier than I am," she said to herself. "She's starving." But her hand trembled when she put down the fourth bun. "I'm not starving," she said¡ªand she put down the fifth.




This is my song
To carry on
When you have found yourself alone
And I am gone
So I will wait
Anticipate
Every last minute that we have
To celebrate
This is my song to remember me by
When the moon grows long in the sky
And you wonder why goodbyes are bound to be
Life goes on, love, you will see
Think of this tune
When forget-me-nots bloom
Pick one for me and make a wish
That I will be back soon
