The terminals

Sitting at another terminal and you wondered yourself how many terminals you have passed by for the past 5 years? You tried to recall those flights and buses across the borders. Snow storm delay in Chicago, luggage loss in San Diego, trying to catch a flight in Miami or got stuck in JFK on New Year Eve, -30C weather in Edmonton... All came down to one thing: getting to the final destination. What you hate the most is the waiting part. Sometimes the suspense is too much overwhelmed to bear and you wonder where your final stop is. You tried to envision that day in your head. You got panic because you just could not picture it. That’s the path you chose and you knew it was a long path. A senior once said “you gotta love it and be ready to burn your 20s away”. You promised yourself you’d walk down to the end of that path no matter what you had to sacrifice. What you would never know that it was an endless path. You tried to move forward to reach to the end, putting everything else on the line. You destroyed relationships, you ruined your emotions and you thought you would be just fine. In reality, you are not.

Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

keep going, keep walking down your own path.

"Some people never get to touch their dreams. Never get to know what that feels like. Never find that thing they love or get to do it for a living. Was it a tragedy to have had that taken away from you? No, the tragedy would be to lie awake at night wondering 'what if?'"

Fulfilling a promise
"I am only one, but I am one.
I can't do everything, but I can do something.
The something I ought to do, I can do."

There is nothing left but a promise.
A promise is hard to fulfill but need to be fulfilled.
Getting that degree really means something, so its worth fighting for it.


Walked home at 11:45PM tonight and brisk walking in the cold made my tears roll down. Miss u a lot and hope u are doing well in heaven. A promise to you has been with me for a while and I have been chasing it. I gave up many things and also my love. That promise is so hard to be broken and i know that i wont.
Waking up tomorrow, its gonna be a new day. A new day to start fresh, to keep going and to be optimistic.


"If men aren't pursuing their dreams -- if we're not chasing the "who we are," the "what we do," and the "how much we make," we're doomed. Dead. But the moment that we figure out the puzzle and feel like our dreams are taking shape, new life breathes into us -- it makes us vibrant, enthuses, and animates us." Steve Harvey

live your dreams or die trying

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you've fought yourself internally about whether or not to continue pursuing your dreams? One side tells you to just quit while the other side tells you that you can't because if you do, life will be meaningless. It's in those times when your life can literally change. It's those times when you make a true decision and promise yourself you're going to live your dreams or die trying. 

I'd rather pursue my dreams and never get it than to give up and forever regret it

life has plenty of good parts; it's the rough parts that make you thankful you have people to share it with.

Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Travel the road that you have chosen and don't look back with regret. You have to take chances to make your dreams happen.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
And the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When funds are low and debts are high,
And you have to smile, but you want to cry,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if your must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
So don't give up though the pace seems slow,
For you may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
