nua queen

I am endearingly nicknamed as Nua Queen by my beloved friends.
Why so, one may ask?
Cause I fight to stay true, to myself and the people around me who matters.
Then, I give myself splendid reasons on earth to be sluggish after that :)

Eletheowl: On perfection

graceyeoh:

(a) Find someone who helps you love yourself. So that when you look yourself in the eye, instead of your too-big too-small unloved parts, you see a goddess. So that when your shimmer fades, he is able to make you glow again with a simple tuck of stray hair behind your ear. So…

“ I want to remember the fear, I want to remember the promise, I want to remember the nights I wanted to curl up in a ball, I want to remember the people I’m not supposed to remember, I want to remember not knowing myself, I want to remember the moment I started to feel safe and like this life I’m leading is really mine. I’m going to be scared, I’m going to bruise my knees and not know how they got there, I’m going to try to fruitlessly forge a connection with someone who won’t ever get it, I’m going to lose the person that means the most to me and find my way back to them. I’m going to be a twentysomething because that’s what I am and all I know how to be. And you should too. You should love every single moment of this hot mess of a decade. Chances are you’ll miss it before you even get to say “I’m 30. Why Being In Your 20s Is Awesome - By Ryan O’Connell, Thought Catalog

“ Take risks! That is really what life is about. We must pursue our own happiness. Nobody has ever lived our lives; ther are no guidelines. Trust your instincts. Accept nothing but the best. But then also look for it carefully. Don’t allow it to slip between your fingers. Sometimes, good things come to us in a such a quiet fashion. And nothing comes complete. It is what we make of whatever we encounter that determines the outcome. What we choose to see, what we choose to save. And what we choose to remember. Never foget that all the love in your life is there, inside you, always. Linda Olsson (via kari-shma)

“ Each came for a reason and died taking a chance. They were veterans and amateurs staff shooters and independents, gun-toters and pacifists. One never sold a photograph, two had Pulitzer Prizes. Some were buried with honors and mourned by nations; others simply disappeared. They came from around the globe to become the greatest assemblage of photojournalists in history.

Some stayed on for the glory, the money, the thrill. Others returned again and again, because it was the place to be. North Vietnamese and Viet Cong shooters didn’t have a choice; their orders said stay ‘til victory or death.
All lived for the next picture; it could be the best one of all.

It is for their photographs, not their dying, that the world remembers them. Tod Bartismus

“ ‎”I read somewhere that the secret of life is to ‘die before you die.’ To destroy everything you have so you can break all identification with it, understand the meaning of loss and failure, and finally create space to start anew. Gabriel Saporta (via sewbeit)

fermions: The Hedgehog’s Dilemma The hedgehog’s dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid. The hedgehog’s dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and weak relationships. illustration by Katie Vernon, via Design Sponge.

“ Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk, either while skipping rocks on the beach, for example, or looking for a way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk, and as you think about more and more things you are liable to feel heavier and heavier, until you are so burdened you cannot take any further steps, and can only sit and stare at the gentle movements of the ocean waves or security guards, thinking too hard about too many things to do anything else. Lemony Snicket, The End. (via 09251994)

“ I had learned one thing from Kizuki’s death, and I believed that I had made it a part of myself in the form of a philosophy: “Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of life.” By living our lives, we nurture death. True as this might be, it was only one of the truths we had to learn. What I learned from Naoko’s death was this: no truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning…
