ImPerfect.

Someone once told me that I don't need to be perfect. And at that time, i wanted to slap that person and say, "do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" HAHA. DUH. I KNOW THAT!!!

Knowing myself, I am far from perfect. And i don't intend to be one. I simply want to be the best that i can be. 

Best I can be. How do i even do that? So that is what i have to find out...

The art of Letting Go...

I have read somewhere that letting go is letting things be. 

The excerpt goes something like:




"When you find yourself attached, remember that ‘letting go’ is not ‘getting rid of’ or ‘throwing away’. If I’m holding onto this clock and you say, ‘Let go of it!’, that doesn’t mean ‘throw it out’. I might think that I have to throw it away because I’m attached to it, but that would just be the desire to get rid of it. We tend to think that getting rid of the object is a way of getting rid of attachment. But if I can contemplate attachment, this grasping of the clock, I realise that there is no point in getting rid of it - it’s a good clock; it keeps good time and is not heavy to carry around. The clock is not the problem. The problem is grasping the clock. So what do I do? Let it go, lay it aside - put it down gently without any kind of aversion. Then I can pick it up again, see what time it is and lay it aside when necessary."

It is time to let IT go. And letting it go also means embracing one's 
present situation, 
one's fate. And so, i shall. 







The only thing hindering me from embracing this world is the experience of it all and realizing how good it is to be free. And the only thing failing me to let go, is the resistance to embrace that world, a world different from which i long for. 


It feels like I am nothing but a prisoner in this golden cage. But it is time to love this "haven" and embrace this life because I belong here.
