Day #4 Meaning

This question has been hovering over my head these past few days: How do you know he's the right one?

Is it about having that queasy feeling in your stomach whenever the person is around or that charge you feel between the two of you whenever your skins touch? Is it about having some form of connection that you know is just there and would probably stay there no matter how hard you try to ignore and deny it? Is it about knowing about some of the person's darkest secrets and being perfectly aware that the person is very far from being perfect but you don't really mind?

Or maybe it's really not about these feelings and emotions that you can't explain but more about logic and reason. Is it about having finding the one for whom you have the utmost respect for his integrity and strength in character? Is it about choosing the one with whom you feel secured, knowing he's matured enough to know how to handle you? 


Do you choose with your heart or with your brain?


Well don't get me wrong...it's not like I'm this situation. I was just wondering...

Day # 2.5 (something extra to make up for the days I skipped) Denial

I wrote about you yesterday, but just like the last time, I got rid of it. It was accidental this time.

I suppose it's meant to be that way. I'm not supposed to write about you 'cause if I do then I'd be leaving traces of these emotions I am dismissing.

I don't think about you and I don't love you.

Day #2 Want

He wanted forgiveness...she wanted to forget. Looking at what they both want it would seem like they would both easily get what they want and benefit from them, but it wasn't that simple. She thought that only way for her to forget is to know everything...he knew that if she finds out about everything she won't forgive him.

So both of them got stuck: one guilty and the other heartbroken.

But it is true what they say: time heals all wounds. After 2 years, she still remembers but he received forgiveness.

Day #1 Challenge

Like Julie Powell in Julie/Julia I believe I have ADD. The moment Julie started her blog in the movie I got the idea to do the same thing by looking for different 365-day challenges that are found on line. In a span of 10 minutes, I signed up for two 365-day challenges, one is on photography and the other is on writing.

Writing is something I've always loved to do but at the same time it's something I have always been afraid of doing. I won't say I'm the kind of person who knows a lot of brilliant words but I can say I've got a lot of brilliant and not-so-brilliant ideas that I believe are worth sharing.

Like with all the other things I am able to do, I believe that my fear of being judged not being good enough has been stopping me from really working on my writing. As a result I've limited myself to writing my thoughts only in blogs instead of really exploring the possibility of being published. I remain a jack of all trades but master of none.


I really want to write. For me to be able to do this I have to develop thick skin for me to gather enough courage to expose my craft and be critiqued. I plan to begin with this 365-day writing challenge. Wish me luck.
