Déjà vu

What happened in the past 2 weeks was Déjà vu all over again...you thought you already knew what was coming and where it would lead to...but you still fall into it for the thrill of wishing the slightness possibility of a different outcome. Well, it's probably the hope of getting it right for once...after being in the wrong for like a million times. Naive? Maybe...there is a saying "when the Stupid neither forgive nor forget and the Smart forgive but do not forget - it's the Naive that forgive and forget".

Reconnecting

Too caught up with working life which led me to stop connecting with my inner self & expressing my inner thoughts for a number of months...that shouldn't be the way...a quote from Lee Iacocca - "The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen." On that note, I should take baby steps into reconnecting...starting from this moment... .

Circles

I don't know how my past has brought me to this present, and

I don't know how my present will lead me to the future.

I feel that I'm going round and round in circles, with no beginning and without the end.

Surrender

Even when our hopes give way to reality and we finally have to surrender to the truth, it just means we've lost today battle. Not tomorrow's war. Here's the thing about surrender, once you do it, actually give in, you forget why you were even fighting in the first place.

- Quote from Grey Anatomy S5 Sweet Surrender -

Trauma

Doesn't matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.

The Other Side of This Life

"Maybe we accept the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves that reality is better. We convince ourselves it's better that we never dream at all. But, the strongest of us, the most determined of us, holds on to the dream or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We wake to find ourselves, against all odds, feeling hopeful. And, if we're lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life the true dream is being able to dream at all"

Wishin' and Hopin'

"...what patients really want to know is - will the pain go away? Will I feel better? Am I cured? What our patients really want to know is - is there hope? But, inevitably, there are times when you find yourself in the worst case scenario. When the patient's body has betrayed them and all the science we have to offer has failed them. When the worst case scenario comes true, clinging to hope is all we've got left."

"...we live in a world of worse case scenarios. We cut ourselves off from hoping for the best because too many times the best doesn’t happen. But every now and then something extraordinary occurs and suddenly best case scenarios seem possible. And every now and then something amazing happens, and against our better judgment we start to have hope."
