As one gets older and eventually get to mature, by thoughts, intellect, attitude and actions, one learn to know and understand oneself. The things that bother me 10 or so years ago, do not weigh much anymore now. But there are several aspects of one's life that are not so easy to shake off.
Coming from a culture that considers (mostly) that talking about one's mental struggles is a taboo, it is hard to admit one's difficulties, seek and ask for help. I am not saying I am well versed in this topic, but one should try to reflect in oneself and accept that one needs professional help, before one goes deep into the dark pit. Help is available, do not hesitate to ask for it. And remember you are not alone.
-25 degrees Celsius last week and the snow just fell, without end, I felt. This week is much better with +2 degrees, the snow starting to melt, not so slippery on the roads and thanks goodness, sunny! Somewhere "lagom" warm would be nice!
How's "your" weather?
It is the time of the year, again, when leaves turned into beautiful colors of orange, red and yellow before they fall to the ground. Yet the sky is always gray or worse, black and rain just keeps coming day after day. I wonder where the sun goes.
One of the common prejudices that "most" people assume when a woman came from Asia with brown skin and end up to have a caucasian partner is that the woman is called a gold digger. I can only answer for my own and that is there is no such "gold" to dig. I work hard for whatever I have now through rollercoasters of breakdowns, anxieties and successes.
Tell me where is this gold at, maybe the pasture is much greener there too.
When I was here way back 2011-2013/14, I have made a great number of friends. We stayed connected even on other medias. I lost contact with them because of my own doing. Life that is. If you are reading this, or if some of you know them, please let them know I truly miss them!
I had read about it, I thought I know how to recognize it. But no reading prepared me to understand until I moved to the gloomy and cold. Seasonal affective disorder that is.
Hej everyone! Excuse my english writing, i often mix up tagalog, english and swedish.
There is cross country skiing in Holmenkollen, Norway and biathlon in Östersund, Sweden. No, I do not have the means to go. Will be enjoying in the comfort of my soffa.
So, what's keeping you occupied this weekend?
