The ability to do “nothing”

    So I came across this post while I was wasting time scrolling through Facebook like the way I know we all do Click here for the post . The analogy used by Mr. Gungor is very precise in my opinion. For example, when I’m skateboarding I wouldn’t even check my phone and focus on doing tricks that I want to do or learn a trick I want to learn. Purely focusing on the box that is open right now also when I am hanging out with someone I don’t take out my phone because nothing else matters right now and they deserve my uninterrupted attention. Thus it is exactly like opening up boxes upon doing different things or in different situations. Personally, I take the information I learn from each box and apply it within other boxes if possible but I sure as hell would not open another box until I have finished with the one I have currently and put it away carefully. If you read the post it...

The idea of having a “crush”

    We’ve all gone through this. The oh so terrifying thing as to having a “crush”. We’ve all said things like “OMG SHE’S RIGHT THERE. HOW’S MY HAIR? TEETH? ARE MY PIMPLES BURSTING?” or “STOP. I CAN’T. MY HEART IS GONNA BURST. HIDE ME!” I used to be like that; screaming fan boy for that gorgie of a girl. Then end up creeping her right out cause of my naive mindset of “just go for it”. Little did I know you gotta know what you’re gonna do when you “go for it”! Being a scrawny Asian kid doesn’t help either. So I ended up just having a crush and then idolizing her cause I couldn’t do anything about it.

    Now, that I understand what having a “crush” means, I feel like the way people normally think about it is foolish. Having a “crush” means you can’t help but to feel crushed when they’re hurt or it crushes you to know you can’t be by their side at this moment. Also, with each other you...

“Too idealistic”

“Too idealistic, but that’s nice to think about”

    I felt a rush of different emotions when I read this phrase whilst talking to a good friend of mine. Is there such thing as being TOO idealistic? This was brought up when I took a selfie and he rated my smile 6/10. So I asked him, “How can I make my smile a 10/10?” He replied with, “LOL there are no 10s. 10 means you have reached PERFECTION.” I completely disagreed with that statement since I believe every smile that is genuine is 10/10. Who is to say your smile, her smile, their smile, or anyone’s smile isn’t perfect? For example, when you know that someone is smiling because they have achieved something is the perfect 10/10 smile. Lately, I’ve noticed that I smile to the point of tears is when I think about my brothers that have stuck with me through all these years. When I see them, I have the stupidest smile on my face. A smile...
