Lost in Translation

All quotes from the movie 'Lost in Translation'

"-I just don't know what I'm supposed to be".

"-You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."

"I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet".

"Why do you have to point out how stupid everyone is all the time?"

"-25 years. That's uh, well it's impressive".

"-Well you figure, you sleep one-third of your life, that knocks out eight years of marriage right there. So you're, y'know, down to 16 in change. You know you're just a teenager, at marriage, you can drive it but there's still the occasional accident."

PS: I actually am not the kind to be much into movies, however seeing 'Lost in Translation' has been one craving I will undoubtedly be fulfilling...hopefully this will be a starting point for more future movie seeings!

Silence no longer feels awkward to me...

on we heartit

You have no power over me...how could you just have power over me when you are not real

I should be able to dismiss all that is of no relevance to me, all thoughts that have been woven by the threads of fear and irrationality...
I dwelled upon them once and now I realize I should've never EVER let them in,
They may be here, lingering in the back of my mind...still I am the same, I have the power of my will

I may not be strong, I certainly am not strong and this is no claim for empathy, no call for compassion...

I know that which I choose to believe in and that which it is not possible for me one day to give in to!

Still she thinks she can resist...

And no,... I haven't given up on that thing called blogging yet, it's just that I haven't been able to get myself into writing mode of late. I wouldn't go as far as to diagnose myself with a writer's block since I haven't been able to sort out the symptoms inherent to this syndrom, there just has been was a whole physical manifestation of unproductivity and emotional distress that's been preventing me from sqeezing any creative juices from my brain!

I've never entertained the idea that feeling and thinking are too distinct processes, operating separately one from the other... however, i've never thought they'd be linked to each other on such a large scale! I've always seen things and tasks ahead in terms of bringing myself to do them rather than waiting for the moment when i'll be feeling like doing them, not that I see 'writing' as a task per se but it just takes on the propotions of a domino effect for me: a state of utter laziness and apathy that spares no active form of attempting to relate to the world around me. Still, if there's one thing I could 'commend' myself about amidst this helpless sitation, it would be my ability to still relish in listening to music, good music to remind me that what the mind can't take, the heart will always find means to get over.
