I'm at that wonderfully terrible place between being a careless twenty-something, and having to grow up and figure out what to do with my life...
we are all such irrational, unstable creatures.
able to be pushed over the edge and set off at any moment.
tempted by all the things we swore we’d never let tempt us.
tormented by all the people we know should have no power over us.
I can’t tell if it’s because the human race is so weak, or if it’s because we’re the only animals capable of getting over it. so we constantly tempt and torment ourselves in an effort to become strong enough to never be victim to our animal instincts again.
This week has been a trying one for me. Please note that it’s only Tuesday. I’ve already put myself in a situation I shouldn’t have and done the one thing I told myself I wouldn’t, simply because giving into temptation was so easy (and always feels so right in the moment). I’ve also watched two people I care about explode on each other and felt torn between knowing someone is crazy, and still feeling protective of them because they are your crazy person. While also knowing their crazy is hurting someone else whose happiness you feel equally protective of.
Life is complicated. I would like to escape to a foreign land again. Getting mugged in Vietnam was less draining than living the day to day.

Somehow I’ve become a person that makes people who date me feel like shit about themselves.
I knew dating me wasn’t easy, but I never thought it was this complicated. Or even remotely detrimental. But apparently it’s something people need to learn how to “cope” with.
I guess that’s what happens when you hear me talk about who I am and what I believe, but don’t really listen to it. You end up thinking you can change me or mold me into what you want. And after a few months of putting in time and effort and that not happening, you end up feeling let down and hurt.
Life lesson to learn: if the person you’re dating isn’t who you want them to be, they’re never going to be. Don’t try to turn them into something they’re not (what you want). It’s unfair to both of you.
Singapore’s Chinatown is pretty, clean & organized. Unlike any other #Chinatown in #Asia. #travel #Singapore #lanterns #picoftheday #bestoftheday (Taken with instagram)
