Lost

"Just let your fears go,

You might find your way back home.

Let your fears go,

You might find that you're not lost..."

Prioritizing

Why do people blog?? I think it's different for every blogger. Some are attention seeking whores, some cannot find another way to express themselves, others like me, just like to collect some of my  'highlighted thoughts" in the form of web entries. 

So I'm here again, to collect my thoughts.

Life has been quite a havoc, hence the lack of entries these past 2 months. Fluctuating relationship statuses, raging fights with the family via Skype, crazy weekends with my best friend and really just full on enjoying life sometimes then there are just days of being high...all part of the new experience I'm having at this point in my life. I feel like I'm in a lull where studying is really just a state of mind that I zone in and out of, in and out of...

Friends call my phase "growth and discovery". But to be honest, I have no fucking idea what I'm discovering?! I feel lost. Usually when I'm lost, I create movement with my body to find a grip and control the confusion by moving my way into a thematic form of choreography. But even in my movement these few weeks, I see a lost soul. I want to believe that I am still in control but I definitely do not feel that way. I feel like I have to rely on certain people and fall back into certain habits in order to not lose grip. And I was never like this before....

I just want to find something, but find what?????

What is the fucking point? I ask myself that all the time, and a little more than expected lately.

Collecting my thoughts,

what a hassle.

Can art change the world?!

Another amazing talk from TED.com
I understand that people have always doubted the power of the arts.
"Art is just pretty"
"It's something to look at"

For me, art provokes thought. Every piece of artwork has been carefully crafted and is a filtered and condensed version of the artist's message through an artistic mean of communication. This is why I love going to art exhibitions with my grandfather, he knows almost every single painter's story and the intentions behind their art works. It's amazing when you can connect with a complete stranger through the canvas.

The same applies for any other medium of art-- photography, graffiti, dance, theatre, music...

Art is powerful. People read and interpret meaning through works of art. Just imagine this world WITHOUT art...

It'd be a travesty to live in such a place.

I hope that after you listen to JR's talk that like me, your faith in the sheer power of art will be restored again.

Hallelujah!

Jelly Fish....

 

I want to have an aquarium with moon jelly fish. Even seeing them on television gives me a strange sense of peace. I think people call it the calm after the waves, or zen...

Wouldn't it be amazing to fall asleep as your eyelids flutter close at the sight of such peace?

Just a small wish of mine.

New Years Resolutions???

Do you even remember yours from last year? Or the year before?
Aren't these things usually along the idealistic lines of "I will become a better person this year"?
It just seems like every year we make unrealistic visions of ourselves in the coming year...
Of course, this unrealistic view can be seen as hope, ambition or even this thing they call positivity.

In the light of all the festivity that surrounded the coming of 2011,
I felt the desire to be hopeful...
but I think what I needed more is humble faith or what my parents might refer to as:
"腳踏實地的心"

So in this new year,
let this new humble heart take charge and learn to not only make goals;
but to savor the process of reaching for these "better selves".
