I made this list last year.

Everything was different then.

I still wasn't a neurotic back then.

I wish I was still the person a year ago.

Full of life, optimism, and hope for what is to come.

1. Go to the gym everyday.
2. No more rice
3. No more binge eating
4. Take into consideration what you eat or do
5. Distract yourself
6. No chocolates
7. Minimal bread
8. Oatmeal is a yes
9. Be healthy-minded. No more milk teas.
10. Greentea in the morning or evening. Remember to recycle.
11. Sketch more. Sleep more. Do more.
12. Water. Only drink water from now on.
13. No cheating or shortening of exercises. One day this will all be worth it.
14. DO YOUR LEG EXERCISES. No cheating or skipping.
15. Listen to music.
16. Do not spend money on useless things. Make investments instead.
17. Inspire and remind yourself why you're doing this.
18. Do more. Be more. Be happy. Be satisfied. Do not disappoint.
19. Get back on the right track.
20. Go at your own pace.
21. Do the right thing all the time
22. You don't need to socialize when you don't feel like it.
23. Find books that inspire, go to places that inspire, do things that inspire.
24. Do well on studies. Always. No excuses. Do what you have to do.
25. Be interesting.
26. Be well groomed and presentable at all times.
27. Be yourself. Love yourself. Be goal-oriented.
28. Bear all the irritation and espeglerie of people around you.
29. Dress whatever you like. Mr. Galliano's words.
30. Inspire. Inspire. Inspire. Inspire. But don't get your head in the clouds for too long.
31. Buy one luxury item a month.
32. Never stop learning.
33. Learn how to sew. Find a sewing machine.
34. Experience is the best teacher.
35. Do your own thing. Don't follow trends. Create them.

“Did you know, you can quit your job, you can leave university? You aren’t legally required to have a degree, it’s a social pressure and expectation, not the law, and no one is holding a gun to your head. You can sell your house, you can give up your apartment, you can even sell your vehicle, and your things that are mostly unnecessary. You can see the world on a minimum wage salary, despite the persisting myth, you do not need a high paying job. You can leave your friends (if they’re true friends they’ll forgive you, and you’ll still be friends) and make new ones on the road. You can leave your family. You can depart from your hometown, your country, your culture, and everything you know. You can sacrifice. You can give up your $5.00 a cup morning coffee, you can give up air conditioning, frequent consumption of new products. You can give up eating out at restaurants and prepare affordable meals at home, and eat the leftovers too, instead of throwing them away. You can give up cable TV, Internet even. This list is endless. You can sacrifice climbing up in the hierarchy of careers. You can buck tradition and others’ expectations of you. You can triumph over your fears, by conquering your mind. You can take risks. And most of all, you can travel. You just don’t want it enough. You want a degree or a well-paying job or to stay in your comfort zone more. This is fine, if it’s what your heart desires most, but please don’t envy me and tell me you can’t travel. You’re not in a famine, in a desert, in a third world country, with five malnourished children to feed. You probably live in a first world country. You have a roof over your head, and food on your plate. You probably own luxuries like a cellphone and a computer. You can afford the $3.00 a night guest houses of India, the $0.10 fresh baked breakfasts of Morocco, because if you can afford to live in a first world country, you can certainly afford to travel in third world countries, you can probably even afford to travel in a first world country. So please say to me, “I want to travel, but other things are more important to me and I’m putting them first”, not, “I’m dying to travel, but I can’t”, because I have yet to have someone say they can’t, who truly can’t. You can, however, only live once, and for me, the enrichment of the soul that comes from seeing the world is worth more than a degree that could bring me in a bigger paycheck, or material wealth, or pleasing society. Of course, you must choose for yourself, follow your heart’s truest desires, but know that you can travel, you’re only making excuses for why you can’t. And if it makes any difference, I have never met anyone who has quit their job, left school, given up their life at home, to see the world, and regretted it. None. Only people who have grown old and regretted never traveling, who have regretted focusing too much on money and superficial success, who have realized too late that there is so much more to living than this.”

Come Back

On Monday, September 9, 2013 by Candy Monster with No comments - Asian, I miss you, Inspiration, Kim Daul, Model, Sad

I've been stuck in a rut this month because of pressure and anxiety piling up that I already went crazy. Whenever I feel down, I read Daul's blog. There's something so comforting about her words, about her thoughts, about her world. Why'd you have to go? Come back.
