“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed”~Charlotte Bronte

Don't let me go

You've got something I can't describe

You're the one I've wanted my whole life

What ever happen to the times we'll share

So baby, pleace don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Oooo, don't let me go

You built me up then

You break me down

You could break my heart

yesterday is but a dream,

tomorrow is only a vision.

but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

so...my thirteen year old roses have served their purpose a few more times than roses usually do. they were good to me...

and now they're gone.

i took this shot after this one and then got rid of them.

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. ~Oprah Winfrey

Leaves start to show the wear and tear as we head towards the season of white. Rugged, ragged and just worn out . . .

However, this is when I find them to be the most interesting, like most older people I know! Raw wit, don't sugar coat it . . they just say what's on their mind! :)

"To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again."

― Pema Chödrön

if it was only that easy...

This is about that moment when you decide to let go of the things you know for certain and run straight into the unknown. The freedom, the flight, the beginning of a new journey.

People love to tell me to 'get over it'. I hear that phrase at least three times each day because I spend a lot of time worrying about things that have already happened, that can't be changed; yet I still continue to frantically think of ways to make it better. I realized after a while that the problem was that I was too obsessed with the past, too addicted to thinking about how it could have been different, too stringent about not forgetting certain issues that happened. By the time I've managed to let go of the past, the present has vanished without a trace and I'm left with no time to catch up, basically meaning a vast accumulation of another truckload of worries to think about. I don't know if you're like me - a paranoid, overly-romantically-sentimentally-feelings-attached person; but I do know that being like that means you're tying yourself up in knots made up of expired emotions and forgotten memories. I need to change. You need to change. We need to learn how to let go. The sky is like the future, life is like a ferris wheel and we are like the carriages. We can either choose to stay at the bottom and not move, remaining stuck in the past; or we can choose to move on in life and obtain a clearer picture of what we want in the future. Pick the right carriage.

youtube ll facebook ll if you want to ask anything

Yeah, what if you can't let go of something?

People must have told you once to stop holding onto something and move on. You listen to their advice and go home. But then that thought comes into your mind again, preventing you from doing your daily doings.

You think about it again, then you think about what people said to you. "Move on!"

You force your mind to open the doors to let that thought escape. You force yourself to do other things, those things that you normally wouldn't do. But you never notice.

And, at the end of the day, somehow that thought slips into your head again. You lay your head on your palms -- attempting not to cry.

And so that becomes a part of your never-changing routine.

29th August... I am trying really hard to get into bed at night and not spend ages worrying about what I could have done. Its a tough task. But I am getting there!

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.

Something different from the Asian theme. Two and a half years ago I asked the help of my cousin and a friend in Greece for my very first portrait photoshoot. Recently I had the luck to have another photo session with them. Thank you for the beautiful portraits Xenia and Foula! Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Athens.

GATHER the stars if you wish it so.

Gather the songs and keep them.

Gather the faces of women.

Gather for keeping years and years.

And then … 5

Loosen your hands, let go and say good-by.

Let the stars and songs go.

Let the faces and years go.

Loosen your hands and say good-by.

I tend to not let things go. I can say sorry and forgive but I let things bother me that took place years ago sometimes. A new Flickr friend whom I have come to adore and hope to meet someday told me to let go of that and look forward. Live in the present. Forget the things of the past that are not good and move on. Let go. That came to mind when I got the word for Mission 24. I love how these missions not only make me think about life but they also spark my creativity.

Anyway, here's to letting go of things you don't want in your head and looking forward to a new day tomorrow.

Mission 24: Present

there's a lot of things i still can't let go of. Even after 4 years. I can't comprehend how a person is supposed to completely forget about their original life and move on. Yesterday i was thinking about my past and actually started tearing up. I remembered my teacher of my grade 5 class. She was my favourite teacher and i was her favourite student. Not because i was a teacher's pet, but because she understood how i felt in her classes. I felt too..."smart". In Hong Kong everyone has to take English class, and i was the only one who was able to speak fluent english with no problems. So when our class was doing something really easy, i'd always get bored and finish it quickly and sit there. But the difference with my grade 5 teacher is that she'd realize that i finished earlier than everyone so she'd send me to do errands so i wouldn't have to sit around. i really miss having her as my teacher and as a friend. I still have her MSN and facebook, but she never has the time to check it anymore ):

i know i have to let the past go, but it's really hard.

hope everyone has a terrific thursday!!!! i'm going to the beach AGAIN haha BUT it's for the print giveaway winners :D we're choosing them today at the beach (: so stay tuned ! haha

— Lewis Carroll

We thought this day would never come — but here it is! There doesn't seem to be a significant enough way to fully thank all my lovely friends for the months and months and months of wonderful support, encouragement and friendship. So I will leave you all with another quote — one that I hope expresses my gratitude more eloquently …

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art ― write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”

― Neil Gaiman

Thank you … and good night ♡

i think sometimes I've held onto painful memories on purpose.no more.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you who celebrate Easter a Very Happy Easter. For those of you who don't celebrate Easter I wish you happiness!!

I am going to be off for the next few days and if I don't get around to commenting and giving stars, I will do so when I return.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. -

Franklin P. Jones

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the

love you make. -

Paul McCartney

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. - Ann Landers

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. -Rainer Maria Rilke

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you. -

Bob Marley

Love is real, real is love. -

John Lennon

I Love You

Means that I accept you

for the person you are

and that I don’t wish

to change you into someone else.

It means that I care enough

to fight for what we have

and that I love you enough

not to let you go. - Unknown

True love never dies

it only gets stronger with time. -
