0104. the copy on a tee shirt ms octopus got for me during her recent trip to bangkok reads:

"expect the best, be prepared for the worst, fuck what others think & do your own thing."

i think the best way to live life is to close our ears and open our minds. listen to opinions and comments but keep an open view on them. it doesnt matter, really, what other people think about you; the kind of things you do, the kind of clothes you wear, the kind of smile you put across your face. you do your own thing because no one knows you better and knows what's best for you other than you yourself.

as time passes by, i also found importance in enjoying beautiful moments in life, forgetting the ugly ones and all in all, learning from everything life has to throw at us.

this short few years we have, no matter how long we wish to live, is frail and fragile like ancient porcelain. it doesnt take much effort to break a life, but to make the porcelain a masterpiece artwork takes time, enjoyment, the ability to move on from undesired parts and learning from every experience.
