Andrea wants to spread the sad news that she is sick. this is so funny

"she is funny again". always make things funnier than it should be

people are good in general. Duc Anh thi kieu lạy. All the common words he used all the time

shitshit.. i start to forget things. Oh i went to Adam's room and so impressed of his room. He seems to be positive and he is really positive about his life. his back and his body parts hurt a lot but he restrained himself from using opiods. he can do almost anything and he is like an engineer almost, and still manage to play all the games on his tv. this inspires me to buy a playstation when i move in with her

watched jane. life is the cycle. dying is not a strange matter. it's a fact of life. one learns to accept it. look at the cycle of life. fighting then dying, it is not unusual anymore. it is just that our eyesight is too limited to look at many things at once

people seem to be very happy when i laugh. i met casper 3 days ago and see him every day since then. he has some good body language gestures, like showing his appreciation

a lot of good things happen recently. a dog came to me and sniff me. he is very friendly and make me happy.

talking with Jae is very interesting. Jae said he hates themselves because they cannot be happy... they are hating themselves because they are negative. they want to fix it but they can't so they accept it now and let it be the fact of life instead of depression.

i went to see Andrea's bf and his face is so unique and i mean his style too. very unique. we did have a lovely conversation but i still feel like their styles are different from mine so it's hard to integrate with them.

weekly plan october 15

Weekly summary and plan: - I heard the song Huong Xua and Giot le cho ngan sau today. Make me feel very nostalgic. I miss Chi a little bit. - I read some very good articles for career planning. I don't know if it can help me much though. But now I'm pretty aware of my short term career goal. I want to be either an ux designer or a business analyst. My keystone is about an experimental proposal. I think it still helps though. But I think charitable giving is a good project to carry on. - writing for wiki is like a personal notebook, it's just that it takes a little more time than necessary. - writing is good. sharing is good.

Few things to work on next week: - finishing up my machine learning project - change my mentor - hopefully i can finish about 10 journal articles about charitable giving, advice taking and institutional decision making - pay my deposit to register for the spring term - hopefully i can finish some of the coursera courses i seek financial support. or it will be wasteful. - I should work on my design stuff soon. schedule on google task asap then do the assignments. it's only 5 assignments. not hard at all. don't hesitate. just do it okay. - poetry should not be very hard. I should revise my poems soon and send them for peer review. - songwriting is getting done very soon. so tmr if there is not much work I will try to finish my final one. it should not take more than 2 hours.

Few things could be done by the end of next week: - poetry - songwriting - design - the second assignment - Machine learning or financial market. what should i piortitize this?

Some of them are: - Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society - Financial Market - Songwriting - it's getting much better. I'm finishing it and I'm feeling good. - Sharpened Visions: A Poetry Workshop - Machine Learning

One of the best lessons you can master in life is to master how to remain calm.

Levy studied the Tahitians and realized they don't have any concepts describing personal losses. They lacked the frame of thinking to express grief and the result is high suicide rate.

Using Tinder while horny is like going to the supermarket while hungry: You’ll end up with a bunch of things but no interest in eating them.

Your meanest friend may be the one who loves you the most. Studies show people who make others experience negative emotions believe the impact of those emotions will benefit them in the long run. When it comes to close friends, those who are harsh and honest probably just want what’s best for you. Source Source 2

The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most.

Thomas Merton (via purplebuddhaquotes)

The only people I would care to be with now are artists and people who have suffered: those who know what beauty is, and those who know what sorrow is: nobody else interests me.

Staying in a bad relationship you know won’t get any better is like watering a plastic plant and hoping it will grow.

I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was.

Ransom Riggs (via purplebuddhaquotes)

To be able to say: I loved this person, we had a hell of a nice time together, it’s over but in a way it will never be over and I do know that I for sure loved this person, to be able to say that and mean it, that’s rare…That’s rare and valuable.

Ernest Hemingway (via purplebuddhaquotes)

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

Mary Oliver (via purplebuddhaquotes)

How I wish I could hug everyone and tell them that it’s okay. It’s okay to be scared and angry and hurt and selfish. It’s part of being human.

Frank Warren

(via purplebuddhaquotes)

"This is what I have found: To let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen ... to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee -- and that's really hard, and I can tell you as a parent, that's excruciatingly difficult -- to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, when we're wondering, "Can I love you this much? Can I believe in this this passionately? Can I be this fierce about this?" just to be able to stop and, instead of catastrophizing what might happen, to say, "I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive." And the last, which I think is probably the most important, is to believe that we're enough. Because when we work from a place, I believe, that says, "I'm enough" ... then we stop screaming and start listening, we're kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we're kinder and gentler to ourselves."

writing songs about love is like fallen into a trap. It's like an universal experience. It's like I have repeated the same pattern a million time.

Something beautiful will make your more productive. It's something I realized slowly. Notion for example. Since its existence, I have written so much.
