Letting my desires take action instead of trapping them in a pandora box, so that one day they can transform and turn into my achievements.

Learning to take it slow and enjoy the process and growth along the way as I continue on with my journey.

One early morning, as I was rushing to get into my car and drive to work, I noticed how much the sceneries around me had changed over just one single night (along with all the yellow sticky pollen lol). I wanted to make this episode to lighten up the fast-paced life we're living in and take a moment to experience, or re-experience, the subtle joy of spring.

Let your own words and actions speak for yourself, and try your best to never lose track of your beginning and your true goals.

When we were children, I'm sure we all had a passion and/or talent for a lot of different things, and we would often get praises from adults as we showcase it to them. However, those praises unfortunately turn into suppression for most of the cases, as the adults think that we should take life and studies more seriously, thus causing us to lose that passion/talent. Half of us are able to regain our senses of self and recover the talent we had, but the other half will spend almost all of our lives continuously searching for that piece of puzzle that we had lost.

Nevertheless, life comes with experiences and lessons, so that one piece of puzzle might never come back to us, but it might lead us to finding other pieces that will complete a brand new picture that actually brings more fulfillment. Instead of chasing so hard after a talent that might never be recovered, let's try to find one that has been hiding within and so eagerly waiting to be recognized by us.

These past few years, the sceneries are somehow so much more vibrant and colorful through windows, pictures, and videos compared to the sceneries that I see directly through my eyes. Everything in our childhood seems so beautiful and grand, while the adult life that we used to envied so much turned out to be quite dreadful and meaningless...

Isn't it so strange and frustrating how the concept of overcoming your fears creates a fear in itself? The cycle keeps on going and you end up suffering more than ever. But, once you start taking small steps in breaking that one fear, everything else seems to be a tiny bit easier and you can continue to move on without struggling more than you needed to.
