Life Stories

Robert Downey Jr.: From troubled teen to Tony Stark

My thoughts:

Falling rock bottom isn’t always the end. Sometimes, you can find a way to get back up and make a difference to those once in your shoes.

I’ve once fell that low, in another life before I was 18… And like a phoenix who rose from its ashes. it took years where I did lose myself in negative environments and situations, what that, came countless personal issues. However, by random chance, I was able to discover something I’m passionate about which also led me become a better self through personal development, self discovery and reflection on why I am the way I am. I’m still in this journey where I aim to be better than who I was yesterday, as a person, as a teacher, as a mother(cats still counts), and as a person who stands on her own two feet without the need to rely on anyone to feel happy. This, right here, is what makes me the happiest.

The paths we take…

I would never regret or be disappointed
by the choices I’ve made and the roads I’ve taken,
because each and every road we’ve chosen differently
led to something that is equally worthy and beautiful.
For those things, I wouldn’t trade them in for the world.
Even the simplest choices to some
can be like finding a diamond
in the gutter for others.

Never under-estimate the power of simplicity. 　<3

Why is it that a woman is only considered normal when they are attached to a man…
Why can’t I or anyone else be a woman that isn’t fragile enough
to need to be in relationships or need to be involved?
Being in my 30s doesn’t change my views like most women out there.
I might be a sappy romantic and I would love to have a kid or two one day,
but hell would I ever become some age old cliche.
I don’t need to be married and have kids,
I also don’t need a side piece if I don’t see any worth my time.
It’s not me that has a problem if this reality needs to be questioned.
End of story.

I’ve never been good at expressing my thoughts and feelings
through communication and interactions,
so writing became my outlet.
However, my writing is much more complex than my speech,
often with ulterior meanings and hidden clues,
very rarely are they ever literal.
Even poetic at times…
Only those who know the stories behind the curtains
would understand their meanings. :p

…That, is also the complete opposite of how I speak in person.

“No matter how much
you think you don’t belong,
there will always be a place
that’s just right for you…
All you have to do
is let it.
Don’t let the fear of being alone
or being different stop you.”

– Me.

This is how I like to teach my kids.

I do not support the whole “it is correct because I said so” concept which most parents and educators use. I tell my kids they should always question things that they don’t agree with or have questions about. Because I am not always right, and I don’t always know EVERYTHING (I’m only human).
So we research together to find out what the correct answer is as well as using multiple sources to support that answer.

Our job as educators is to help our students to learn how to shine, not dull their sparkle.

This is the legacy I’d hope to pass on. ❤

 

My love. My mentality. My senses.

Like women and their heels, we often regularly browse the stores for a new pair…
Some, has the addiction of buying them for simply adding to the collection.
Some, targets a specific type of heels: stilettoes, pumps, wedges, peeptoes, platforms… even the height of heels can be an addiction.
And others, only go shopping for a new pair once the old ones expire.
In many cases, most would agree on their belief that one must have a pair to feel like a woman, or to be happy.

I, on the other hand, have learned to love being barefoot while between perfect heels. I am just as happy embracing the comfort of my feet as nature has given me. No, I did not decide to never wear heels. Neither will I ever be done with the addiction of wearing heels. I love how they feel on my feet, and I love how they brighten up my soul. I simply got tired of buying every single pair of ‘tall enough’ heels every time I stop at a shop, then never wearing them because they either hurt my feet, didn’t fit, don’t match anything in my wardrobe, or simply doesn’t suit me in real life .

What people seemed to be confused about, is thinking that I must buy a pair if I’m at the store. Or thinking that I must not be looking hard enough. Whatever reason it may be, people all seem to think that they need to find me a pair of heels. Come on, it’s not that I’m incapable of finding and buying heels on my own, I simply haven’t seen a pair that I want to buy. And I’m completely ok with that. It does not make me any less of a woman, neither does it mean I’m a woman with disfigured feet that aren’t fit to wear heels. I simply got tired of buying heels after heels only to toss them aside or worst, damage my feet. Risking blisters to bone disfigurements, some can be temporary and some can be permanent, who knows, wasting money is also another factor . Hence nowadays, I’m not bothered by walking out of a store empty-handed . Sometimes, stores just don’t have styles that strike my interest. I want to buy heels that I adore as much as I’d wear comfortably and still be affordable . Yup, that’d be my perfect heels. And nope, I’m actually not talking about heels at all. Just a simple analogy so I can speak my mind freely.

But seriously, I’d like to shop for myself, please don’t judge my shopping habits.

Thank you. 😉
