New years is the 'reset' button for us all!

Let's make it a good one! 

You all have value! 

You all have potential! 

You all have dreams! 

So in 2012...let's make the most of them!

his words remind me why i love him so much in the first place

"... There are going to be times when we're not happy with who we are or what we've done. Times when obstacles are going to jump in our way. Times when the whole world looks like shit...and times when we're going to be really hurt because of it. But...does that mean we have to roll over and die everytime we hit a bump in the road? Do we give up? On our friends? On our family? On the world? On ourselves?

Yeah, I've been called an optimist. I wear the nametag proudly. Yes, I've seen hard times. Yes, I've had my heart broken. Yes, I've had a 'less than glorious' childhood. I've been shy, I've been awkward, I've been angry, I've been depressed. Trust me...there is NOTHING about my life that would allow somebody to say, "Well, of course HE'S happy! He's got everything going for him." No...I don't. I'm not going to pretend that every day of my life is a happy one. I'm not going to pretend that I have some goal where I can say, "Once I finish this...I'll never have another problem again." I'm an optimist, but I'm not an idiot. I am in touch with reality, you know?

But happiness doesn't mean NO pain and NO rainy days. Happiness is appreciating the good times that you've got, and knowing that when the bad times come...you'll get through them just fine. It's just a matter of looking at the current parts of your life, the state of the people and the world around you."

it's raining now

and i love rain. sejuk, menenangkan dan sangat sesuai untuk menidurkan diri :D and it's also romantic. i've seen many pictures of people kissing in midst of raindrops, and to imagine that when cold is surrounding you, there still someone beside you giving warmth... it's just seems so touching. 

i dont remember much, but Comsie had this rain theme in his stories a while ago. all i can remember is the main character went cycling to the boyfriends house in midst of rain, and he was distracted by this one boy. i love that little boy. in these stories he's like a little cupid who foreshadowed that good things were waiting in the future. i love him enough to still remember that he's a redhead.

as i mentioned before, rain to me is about lying, being on the bed under the comforter and the plushies, dreaming away about everything until slowly i drifted to nothingness. 

and i love when rain falls when i'm in the car with Mr. R. i couldn't see anybody else through the window. it's like the only thing existed then are just me and him.

cheerio.
