Charlene Soraia - Wherever You Will Go

My current obsession. Just can’t get enough of it!

Haha, this is the best book bag ever! I really want a Silhouette. There are so many amazing things you can do with it, including heat transfers (and flocked heat transfers!) which look a million times better than the terrible, expensive and rigid heat transfers you get. But if you’re like me (poor & without a Silhouette!) you could always use the freezer paper method! — mildlyinterestingadventures:

people

If there’s just one thing I have learnt in the last six months, it’s that human interaction is a beautiful thing. It is just so refreshing and amazing to meet new people, even if for just a short while. It makes you realize that even though there are many people who hurt you, disappointed you, stabbed you in the back.. there are so many more people in this world. Some you are yet to meet, some you might never meet, some who will matter, and most that probably won’t. Could be a long lost childhood friend, or someone you meet at a bar.. even though sometimes I might be alone, there’s no way I can ever be lonely.

This makes me so happy.

2012

I promised myself that I would not make any new year resolutions this year, but my list making addiction got the best of me.

Well, at least I’ve tried to keep it real this time. I think.

Don’t look back in anger…

Normally, two days before new years eve, I have my set of resolutions for the coming year all prepared. In my neatest handwriting. On the prettiest paper I can find. As lofty as they may seem, I am determined to fulfill them, feel the pleasure of striking things off that list. I can do this!!! I will do this!!! I promise myself.

This feeling lasts not more than two weeks. Or until I can write the date without getting the year wrong. Basically, till there’s nothing “new” about the year anymore. Soon enough, that list is nothing more than any other list I might have at that point…a crumpled piece of paper stuffed in some obscure corner of a drawer, or pinned up on my soft-board along with a hundred other ‘to-do’ post-its… just waiting patiently for any sort of acknowledgement. The whole year goes by, and once again, I feel miserably sorry for having broken the promises I made to myself.

The cycle is never ending. Year after year. Same resolutions. Same intentions. Clearly, I do not possess the willpower to actually follow through. So why end another year feeling like I’ve failed?

This year, instead of making false promises to myself, I’m going to look back on the year. Reflect on the last 365 days and let go of all the grudges, stresses, regrets and anger, and forgive and forget. Feel a sense of accomplishment, for a change, rather than that of failure.

So, I have one tiny message for myself this new years eve - take a deep breath, Samridhi. And just LET.IT.ALL.GO.
