Beauty Within


Awkwardness starts its way
Like a caterpillar,
We're finding our true colours and pattern,
We can't predict what we will turn out to be,
But only GOD knows,
For He is the potter
And we are His clay

Beauty we seek are never lasting
We seek recognition of the world,
Splurging on things the world throw at us
To fool ourselves that beauty can be bought
We all fall into the trap of superficial beauty
But beauty within is ever lasting

You leave a legacy
You leave a mark,
Mark of love, care, patience, kindness...True Beauty <3

Looking Out The Window


I see but I don't feel,
Open I am to my surroundings
Finding it difficult to understand
The inconsistencies and complications

Sunshine comes with its brightness
Putting a smile on faces
Blooming flowers and hungry plants are fed
Such a beautiful sight
But when it rains, it pours
With its mighty wind
Pushing away anything that stands in its way
Oh such an ugly sight

Terrified I am
But as I look at the bigger picture
Don't living things need rain for water?
I sit silently under a shelter

Who am I to judge?
I am just looking out the window

First Touch

Woohoo!! This is the first post...

Just want to do a lil short post as an intro for a new beginning.
As mentioned in my portfolio, I am currently at a crossroad. I have entered the dooms of young adulthood; no longer a teenager/kid. Every decision I make comes with consequences and responsibilities.

I will be graduating at the end of the year (hopefully...or else my parents will kill me *serious face*) and will be looking for a job soon >.<

Anyhow, the stress of moving on and being independent has slowly creep in.
Should I be terrified of the real world?? I was sheltered for so long and it has dawn on me that life is not as easy as I thought.

The stages in life:
1. Studies (get as many degrees as you can..or be no. 1 > roughly top 5% of your whole intake)
2. Job..(a stable job with fix income to put food on the table and able to have a sustainable/reasonable life)
3. Getting your own car...with your own money not your parents...
4. Marriage (stress of finding the "ONE" or you could let your family match make you <3)
5. House (use up your savings to get your own home..its call privacy)
6. Promotion (climb the ladder of success...)
7. Baby (aaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!)
8. Promotion (need to climb the ladder again...children are just too expensive..need $$)
9. Grow old..while your kids are growing up...
10. Retire
11. Curtain Falls (aka DEATH)

Hmm...interesting isn't it, that life is a cycle. It's like passing the baton. Your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren... will go through the stages too..unless you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth then everything will seem easier....oh how depressing!!


More soon....to be continued xoxo
