Passport # 14

Y!M status: will never become the responsible person i expected myself to be. oh well, life is good!

Nicolette Lim: i can relate! on your stat
Sydney Furio: hahah yeah
Nicolette Lim: walang nagbago eh hahaha
Sydney Furio: oo nga ehh leche yan!!
Nicolette Lim: i know! amp!!
Sydney Furio: like how you always tell yourself that tom you;'re gonna be responsible and you're gonna study no matter what and you're so excited to change but when tom comes it all fades away
Nicolette Lim: EXACTLY
Nicolette Lim: my life story ever since college started
Sydney Furio: true
Sydney Furio: hayyy nako!
Nicolette Lim: wahahaha
Nicolette Lim: friends talaga tayo!
Sydney Furio: syempre prends porever!1
Nicolette Lim: bffs!
Sydney Furio: 'fcourse, great minds think alike.
Nicolette Lim: yes yes

I find it really weird how I'm always excited about Change..but when the moment comes the excitement just flies away...so I lose that moment to become a better person. At the end of the day when I think about the "what ifs and I should'ves" and blame myself for all the regrets, I close my eyes and look forward to tom ... to make things better and to make up for the missed opportunities. Then Tom comes again and still...no changes.

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
