It is easier to judge your own family, as it is more accurate? May be true in one sense, because you may see ugliness in them that outsiders do not see. So it’s no surprise if you’re not impressed by them as others would be, or when you lose patience with them.
Precisely because I’ve done half marathon before, that’s why I’m doing 10K this time!
What?! Melly is running again? It keeps repeating, I know. Signing up without thinking and then end up injuring myself unnecessarily (but entertaining others along the way and did some fundraising though :D).
Silence without, but active within.
With hours to pass until morning, I sit reflecting on different things. Sometimes I feel disoriented by the pain, but other times it produces worthwhile thoughts that I find helpful.
I learn to stay quiet, be patient, to struggle well. That’s what trials in life are like at times – you can protest and whinge all you want, it’s not going to drive them away. Who are you waging war against? If you’ll have to go through it, you’ll have to go through it anyway.
the captain spoke, ‘We do this (trip) not to escape reality, but to not let reality escape us.’
Initial disappointment in this country, but then I didn’t know what await me in the coming days and weeks. That tells me first impression doesn’t last. For that matter, any impression doesn’t last.
