i'm sick and tired of so many things--
tired of the way things used to be
and i'm sick because it's all i knew

i don't want to live life that way, there's so much more to live for.

a friend's prayer

a friend of mine from college recently posted a facebook note and he labeled it "prayer"
after reading it i wanted to save it somewhere. what better place than here--

"Let's be honest here. 80% of self-claimed unhappy people believe their dissatisfaction in life roots from the lack of wealth. Unfortunately, I cannot resist to say I am becoming or already have become a believer in money like them. They say, "money can't buy happiness," but I am starting to believe it is a poor man's excuse for not making enough. As I am getting older and older, I am learning how much wealth I need in my life. At the same time, I am learning how terrible it feels to be unable to reach certain living standards I am expecting. If money cannot buy peace in my life, I would rather be rich and unhappy because I feel I would not be happy without it anyway.

I never have thought about my life this way and I really do not know what have I become. Lord, I sincerely pray that you prove me wrong. I pray that my doubts and questions are born not to deny you but to break myself and understand you more for I do not wish to merely accept you without knowing what I believe in."

things that (really) matter

kennedy shared this website with me and i spent a good amount of time on it today. it's called "The Burning House," where each post consists of a picture and a list of things that people would take if their house was going down.

i love how simple the idea of this website is, and yet how meaningful the things on it are.
the people on here are of all ages (little boy age 6's entry was cute), and it's interesting to see what different things mean to different people, at different stages of their life.

definitley subscription worthy.
