old sayings
by blackgoldfish
Don't panic.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
The smallest deed is better than the biggest intention.
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
The only reason you die is because you live.
Take the chance while you still have the choice.
The only thing you truly own is your time.
Be brave enough to live creatively.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Always begin with an end in mind.
The eyes believe themselves; the ears believe other people.
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.
Pick a path with heart.
Take a chance in the near future.
Change your luck today.
Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.
Let the spirit of adventure set the tone.
Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, feel, find, and love.
Be mischievous and you will not be lonesome.
Originality overcomes everything.
Good luck is the result of good planning.

"learn to write about the ordinary. give homage to old coffee cups, sparrows, city buses, thin ham sandwiches. make a list of everything ordinary you can think of. keep adding to it. promise yourself, before you leave the earth, to mention everything on your list at least once in a poem, short story, newspaper article."

A Day is a Tourist, A Year is a Traveler
by blackgoldfish
『A day is a step, a year is a tango. A day is a tourist, a year is a traveler. A day is a chance encounter, a year says love. A day is frustration, a year is a melody. A day is a lump of clay, a year is whatever you want it to be. A day is a thought, a year is a philosophy. Every year counts. Glenfiddich.』－Glenfiddich〈Every Year Counts〉TVC

"everything is going to be alright. [...] Hard to see sometimes, but always true when I look back over my life. "

"其實我一直不確定的是我自己在愛人面前的樣子，要堅強還是要脆弱。直到遇見了你。我才知道，原來我既可堅強，也可脆弱。而那脆弱，是你賦予我的。我也不知道你打哪來的能量，能夠承載我的大哭，能諒解我喝過酒後的脆弱，能包容我偶有的自卑攻擊。"
keep your heart
by blackgoldfish
"Keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. It’s the way to happiness. Try this for a week and you will be surprised." -- H.C. Mattern
love & fear
by blackgoldfish
"Deep down, at our core, there are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety, and guilt." - David Kessler

前言︰希望你不要找到我。
by blackgoldfish
「她說她倆的愛情變成了習慣，只有感情。習慣的開始，都是默契吧？是大家用時閒和精神去建立，有愛情，也可以有習慣的。還是你有了新刺激，於是馬上覺得舊有的都不能令你感到有趣了？」

那些關於心碎的歌...
by blackgoldfish
「有時候選擇分手，真的未必是因為第三者，只是因為累了，疲倦於要對一個人繼續付出、繼續貼心、繼續包容，你會累到連提起嘴角安撫對方不安的情緒都感到厭煩」
「其實，心碎是有聲音的，那滿載的情感在失望的瞬間，是會真的通通摔落在地上的，而那是真的真的有聲音的，所以這些音樂人才能用這些音符勾勒出心碎的故事唱給失戀的人聽」
i will work for vitamin C
by blackgoldfish
About 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years.
'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.'
'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.'
I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ...
... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit.
You know, in a manner of speaking.

│讓我們互相依賴吧，我說。
by blackgoldfish
「常常我說著心情，你竟也平靜的接到球，懂得爵士的人說它是即興抓到的球而呼應出的默契，常常我想說什麼，甚或不想說什麼，你都能從輕微的舉動中，不經意的脫出口。」

終於
by blackgoldfish
「再過去些日子，大概彼此俱曉得，某些曖昧，再耐人尋味，也不比那一種親密來得溫暖。反正互相扶持，就比足夠更足夠。出發往何處甚麼事有利對方都互通消息，這種關係，其實很窩心很好。」
