The indifference
“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

The move of time
It just suddenly stops. Everything is still, even my mind, my thought, my hands, my legs… The atmosphere is completely frozen.
I know I will hurt you, and myself, so much. But it will pain me much more if we continue this way.
Life is unfair, we know that. We have to adapt. We have to move on…
Too much of anything may kill you!

The Hardest You Could Be
And you will find no fear here, in unkind words or the hardness of others. And you will find no sadness here, in the meanness of the world, in the anger that comes from those who feel small. And you will find no hurt here, in a million insults or a single, softly spoken lie. Because only a hard heart shatters. Only a hard heart, breaks.

The Place Where You Get Off
Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars. You think she’s insane. Until, one day, you notice that she’s taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into. Because you look. But you do not see. And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she’s some crazy cat lady until you find out,...

The death of love
Oh love. Why is your body so still, why do your muscles sing no more, why does your chest not rise and fall. Oh love. Why is your skin so cold, why do your eyes not trace my face, why do you not get up and accept my warm embrace. Oh love. I have no regrets for our mistakes, no heart left to break, for you have taken it with you to the grave. Oh love. Love that turned to death, death that turned to...
You close your eyes when you cry. That’s ok. Just don’t keep them closed too long. Things have become beautiful since you last looked. There’s nothing more to cry about.

Listen and tell me what you can imagine :)
Life is complex
Yes, it’s so freaking complex, Linh. You should get used to it and be strong. But don’t be too strong, because by that way you may become a cold person.
It’s hard to be strong and be soft at the same time. But above all, promise me, you will still believe in the beauty of life :P
Contradiction
This is wrong and this is right.
That is good, that is bad.
Love you or love you not… Hate you?
Cry? No, had better smile.
Cheerful? Feel sorrowful right after that.

… My mind is already overloaded. I think, no, I know that I’m not ok right now. I thought that I was, but that’s not true.
I miss you.
Maybe that’s what I tried not to do, not to...

I had a dream about you
Yes. It did feel so real. I could still feel the warmth of your hands in mine, remember the tone of your voice and the way you made me laugh. Those were real, those feelings, and the dream. But they were not true. I guess you know why.
But do you know this? I feel happy even though I know it’s not true.
Be soft
“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place”.

Good sayings that I love
“Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt and live like it’s heaven on Earth.”
Mark Twain
