You, too, can become great.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. -Mark Twain.

I choose me.

"Being alone is just what I need. No boys, no bars, just a bottle of sun block and a dozen of the best beach reads. I needed to make a choice and I choose me." - Serena, gossip girl.

Change.

"Transitions in life are usually marked by major events, birthdays, graduations, weddings; but the greater transition often come out of smaller moments, when we stop and look at who we are, because each time we see how far we have come, we also see how far we still have to go. In order to fully transform, we might need to free ourselves of everything we’ve been holding on to, to send us on our new path, the right one. But if at the end, you find the person you have become is not the person you want to be. You can always turn around and try again. And may be the next time you won’t be so alone when it’s over, too late to turn back now, XOXO Gossip Girl."

This year passed by so quickly. I can't believe my first year of university is over. So much has changed since last year. Dramatic change. I strongly believe that "change is good" this time I'm not sure if it is. Some days the change my life's going through is really good, others it is not. Determination and commitment is what I've been training myself to have, and so far so .. okay. Started off with being committed to a bottle of beauty oil, I've been committed for three months. I have never ever committed to something for this long! I'm really proud of myself, mainly because practice makes perfect. I'm determined to commit to bigger goals, aiming high. Proof to thyself that I have strong willpower. If there is anything that I aim to be then it is, to be stronger. The point I want to reach.

Definitley is.

Never, darling.

A true test of character

It all happens at once. At the same day. It's how they don't know how to handle it. It's how they don't know what to do next. What is appropriate, and what is not. What is right. What to say, how to say it. Most importantly, how to put this all to an end. A part of me doesn't want to be a part of all this. I end up questioning the true reason. There's a reason for everything right? Why does it have to happen to me? I have faith. I understand, I shouldn't be saying this. But why does it have to happen over and over and over and over again. Why can't I read the signs? What is there to read anyway. What is there for me to learn, more than I already have. Dear person#1, I hate what you say, how you say it and when you say it. It's always in the most inappropriate form and always at the wrong time. In such situations, I start looking down to you as much as I looked up to you. Pathetic and heartbreaking. I shouldn't put myself in those situations, I really do not want to see where I stand when it comes to believing in you. I second guess absolutely everything, if I believe in you at all. I avoide everything. Lock myself up from it. Try not to get involved as much as possible. At the end somehow someway it all comes back to me. Linked to me. And that's where I'm questioned. Asked to take part, forced to act upon the situation. It screws with my head. Please leave me out of the stirring of the unpleasant emotional dynamics.

"The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do."

That to me is style!

"If a woman is both happy and confident in what she is wearing, that to me is style."

My excuse.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

-Carrie, Sex and the City.

This is exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm "going with the flow", seeing where all this will take me. I'm done analyzing, comparing, planning and figuring out why and how things happen. I tell myself, when it happens, it happens. And when it happens, is the only right time it could have happened. When it's over, it's over. I shouldn't be analyzing when, how and where. Faith and anticipation over curiosity and worry.
