To die yearning.
Translation: I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live weary and despairing. I want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the depths of my spirit, for I have seen those who are satisfied the most wretched of people. I have heard the sign of those in yearning and longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.

Little treasures.
I was on the phone with my mom today, when we started talking about contentment, and how some people might have everything they wish for in the world and more, but still be unhappy and unsatisfied, while others barely make end's meet, but are content and happy with what they have.
This got me into thinking, if I had less would I be content?
My answer would be, if I was surrounded by the people I loved the most, I believe I would.

Concerned.
I've been contemplating a lot lately, mostly about where the world is at,
and the way people have become.
It's depressing to see how materialism, consumption, and selfishness is
taking over humanity, most people don't seem to care anymore.
Two incidents that have enforced this concern on me this week, first
was arriving at the train station, delayed trains and upset faces, turns out
a man had jumped in front of a train, passing immediately. No one seemed
to be affected by this unfortunate setback, but instead huffing and
puffing for their delayed plans.
The second happened today while I was on the school bus, a girl was
describing her anger and frustration over the fact that, her wealthy
grandfather - who she described as being in his late nineties / in perfect
health - being still alive!!! She said it not once, not twice, but over five
times, how much she wished her grandfather would pass, so that she can
inherit "part" of his fortune, which she said can come around a billion dollars.
I felt nauseous.
I can't describe how disgusted and repulsed I am from this girl.
She is an animal, worse, animals have feelings, she doesn't.
I know there's a lot of goodness in this world still, and this post might
sound too pessimistic, but I feel sad for what some people have become.
This is a mourning of humanity.
Quote translation: Do not blame the times, for it is beautiful, your greed is what corrupted it.

Never give up.
“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.”

I learned that life does give second chances, after you give yourself one.
