“When you really want something sometimes you just have to swim a little deeper….you can’t just give up just because things don’t get easy…You have to face your obstacles and face your fears….But in the end it’s all worth while! Life is full of ups and downs but if you believe in yourself you always always come out with flying colors…Value friendship, love and faith….Never underestimate yourself…Believe in yourself…!

Tyler, the no non sense second side of the main character in Fight club once scared a man to death, and told him to pursue his studies. After the guy ran, he spoke these words : “Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel’s life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted. ” To which the narrator said” No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide. ” Living without fear without distractions leads you to live a more beautiful life.

In the same movie, there was a part where Tyler and the narrator along with 2 of their soldiers in Project Mayhem were driving in a row. during the drive, Tyler asks everyone what they wish they would have done before they died. The narrator says he does not know, then Tyler asks how he would feel about his life if he died right now. The narrator answers that question by saying that he wouldn’t feel good about his life. I feel it’s important to know what you wish to do before you died. And you have to know how you would feel about your life right now if you disappeared….every second of your life, you must feel great about it. You should know what you want to do, and go for that so you will feel happy about the live you’ve lived.

Benjamin Button from the Curious Case of Benjamin Button sent this letter to his daughter:


“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. “

It’s astounding what you could get from it, and what all these quotes pertaining to life say to do. They all wish you to go for what you want, do what you want, and life how you want without any distractions and always to go for it no matter how horrible everything is. Or no matter how hard the obstacle in front of you is, you must strive through it to achieve your dream. That’s what a good life is, fulfilling your dream, working towards it and never giving up.

Have a good life! And to quote again a line from Fight Club; this is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time.”

Appreciating My Life.

Man, I’m so disappointed in myself. I never knew how much words can hurt until I’ve used them on my mom yesterday night. It’s just - she got me so angry and irritated that I just said it and it came out of my mouth in a matter of minutes. All the “I love yous” and “I miss yous” that I had ever said to my mom suddenly became “I hate you” and “I don’t wanna see you”. Man, how much did I actually change that I had to go down this road again? Not much, I bet. I haven’t fought with my mom in so long and I thought I was a changed person, but… this incident last night proved me wrong so bad. I do blame myself for it all, I know why. I understand that she’s only trying to be a mother and I understand that she’s trying to pick up the pieces with this family again, but what kind of person does that make me if I yelled at her for it? I wonder sometimes about who I am and what my past created and it built up to this moment and unveiled everything.

I hate myself now.

Haven’t tumblr’d in a while, so I thought today would be a good day to (:

Yesterday, I bought myself a new accoustic. It’s a Jasmine Takamine and it absolutely sounds beautiful! I’m trying to learn this one song and I got the chords down, but the singing sort of… sucks, hah. Yesterday was also a bonding time with Roland. We went to the Haight to get our instruments… he bought a keyboard ‘cause I talked him into it, haha. It was pretty nice to hang out with him.

On Saturday, got to hang with Kindley. Went to Haight and went downtown to get Jamba Juice. I hope she’s okay, I really do.
