desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Ive been pondering whether I'll turn this device off and go to sleep or continue being online.. *nods* Yep, still pondering even at this time of night. I guess I'll blog first before going on to dreamland..

Now my cousin is around.. whom I suddenly became uncomfortable to be with. I don't know. Her sudden marriage months ago and her current pregnancy is kinda making our... or rather the atmosphere around me became uncomfortable. Yes, she's my cousin and I guess were the closest in our 'side' of the family. Still, Im having a hard time going back to our relationship before that.

I know she's regretting the early marriage. But mind you, she didnt go and get married because she got herself pregnant or anyting. I guess it's the effect of 'unguided' love? Love can make one extremely stupid, really. It would be really harsh of me to say that she was stupid to get married at a young age.. But I just can't help it. Of course, no one knows of my opinion regarding that matter.

They were just rushing things. And I dont know the specific reason behind the hasty decision. It just annoys me that they can't just wait for the proper time to get married.. to sort things out whether they would really be able to go through it all after it.. whether they were just blinded by this so called emotion...

One thing's for sure... I wouldn't rush things like my cousin did... If the boy Im going with can't wait.. then he can go to hell for all I care! If we both love each other, he won't care to wait even though it would take years before the marriage could take place!

I can't believe I'm talking about things like this...*shakes head*
