merry christmas eve, everyone... as i sit in the apartment in NB, waiting to go homeward bound again. the streets of NB are empty. everyone's home. it's kind of .. peaceful.

Risk.
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd, is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing.
Has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, love…
Only a person who risks is free.

you give me an unexplainable confidence half the time.
half the time i don't want to admit that you're something special.


[maybe i think you're really worth it.]


~~

play piano the way you used to.

tadaima.

one month.
we miss you.

check it out.. i printed out a few pictures of us / you . got my favorite picture hanging up on my wall now. you're smiling with the dorky peace sign. xP [i'm doing the same pose.]



right now i'm thinking about you a lot. i'm creating your picture story for my final project for photojournalism.

as painful as it is to see these pictures... i've gotta convey the message. who you were, who went to visit you...


i feel like i can work hard on this project simply because it's about you.
so give me guidance. you were always driven.
