Seeing Andrew Garfield beyond Spiderman, this is beautifully made // Even though I got seriously scared/grossed out at some moments, I really appreciate this movie.

Because in that very moment, I had the feeling that the stars aligned for me. And that maybe things are slowly falling into place.

I really love movies.
I love how they give me deep thoughts after.
And then how those deep thoughts make me love life even more.

Last night got me thinking about the times in secondary school when I have so much time to blog almost every single day. I remember then, that I knew I wanted to do it so that when I am older and retired, I can read all of my posts once more to recount my growth along the decades. To remember who I was and how I changed.

It's Valentine's Day today. Just realised that it's been quite a few years.
But you know, I feel very very blessed that despite not being with somebody, I still somehow receive flowers from the people around me. Last year and this year in particular, I received flowers from people that I've only known for less than a year (or even less than 6 months?). I feel really thankful to be a recipient of all these love especially since they really don't have to. It is also a very happy feeling to be the one who gives without expecting anything in return.

I think that's one of my most cherished lessons I've learnt over the years: that if you genuinely love, you give your love to people without needing it back. 

Aw feeling really sad and sentimental right now because my heart is feeling so many intense emotions since the last month but this month, things changed and it's not how I hope it would turn out and I have to tell myself again to maybe let this pass and move on again.

Is it just this generation or this society or this culture or just this place that's making it harder than it should...

And then The Intern was showing on HBO and it is a great movie and I love Ben in the movie. I wish in my life I will have the opportunity to meet someone senior like him too to be my best friend and be able to say "this is the time when I really need someone I can count on" to him/her, and then his wise advice and light humour can help me take it easier on life.

I know it's important to be strong and happy with being just by yourself. I can and I do. But some days I just wish I have someone I can really count on and help me get through life together. Because just having one more person to exchange thoughts with, can make me so much happier in life exponentially.
