Passion Or Practicality?

Passion or practicality?

Not everyone is blessed with the capacity to be surrounded by the best influences, not everyone is nurtured equally, not everybody is given a fair amount of attention and appreciation. I’ve observed every single person I’ve encountered and shared stories with. Sadly, you get bigger chances to be a lot more of an individual if all of your needs are met. Otherwise it’s another burden to win the war. (War is life ok)

Correct me if I’m wrong. Tell me if you have better stories to share I’d like to hear it please.

Passion or practicality? A good question I’ve read today and it had me thinking because currently it’s my struggle and being at my early 20’s I desperately need to fill in my aspirations but life does not allow it? Or let’s just say it’s definitely out of reach.

In terms of trying to keep up with passion. Passion is also (in my case) associated with being selfish. Why? Because it’s considered a want. And I’ve been there but growing day by day you realize you can’t focus on what you want alone because there are people around you who needs your presence, thus reality kicks in there are responsibilities you can’t ditch around.

Balance. Something I’m trying to master at the moment. Ok, I’ll be honest I’m currently living a busy life where I work on a not very artsy thus a corporate kind of company that is not personally in-line with me (but it pays the bills and it’s enough atm) at the same time trying not to lose the creative during weekends bcos it’s absolutely draining and it’s considered my sane. I don’t want to lose who I really am. It’s something I’ve been fighting for from the very beginning that a lot of people don’t understand. Anyway, I refuse to focus on this alone. But i know things will be worth it and this isn’t the end of it. Life will surprise us all we just need to keep holding on to things that’s keeping us strong. I mean, why give up now when you know you’re almost there. Right? To whoever is experiencing the same? You are not alone. Now, let’s get this over with gracefully.

i will always come back to your account, ate porshe. you make the world more lovelier. :)

Receiving a sweet small note like this is uplifting. Thanks for the appreciation! :)

These are photographs taken by a good friend three years ago that he didn’t show me not ‘til this year. It felt very old school because this had to be developed all by film (dark room and all) in Japan unknowingly that it was a series of our first hangout. I find it cool to have a little flashback of what used to be.

A list of new.

I’d wake up my cray side this new year that’s one thing I completely forgot for the past few months so here’s my very new bucketlist to accomplish (I hope!)

Hmm, what else?

What else is out there? :)

A collection of my different afternoons and whereabouts.

Found.

In times of nothingness I have found you. You’re in between the thought of a stranger to me & someone I knew. Nonetheless, you are considered a blessing and I hold that idea with me. How can someone be so gentle but intimidates the sea? I have known you so little yet it meant a lot, considering you brought something out of me I thought I no longer have. You say every day might be short-lived but yet again you always remind that life is surreal. I recall the night I first saw you was pretty awkward. But, t'was something you don’t really get a lot. You and I both, we were a complete mess. I couldn’t hide my imperfections and I thought, “Way to go for a first impression?” 

People with good effect within us don’t come by often, for all I know it’s one in a million. Even though things will eventually fleet or chances are it will fade away. I couldn’t thank this moment enough for making me feel okay. With that being said, I say cheers to all the little good genuine feelings you gave me. I will always remember the short whiles & all things greatly. :)
