I was talking to a friend over lunch about grandparents and when I was listening to myself speak about my Grandpa it made me realize just how proud I am of him. Not only because of the things he had accomplished in his lifetime but also because of his character and personality. He was a great man. Captain of the navy, CEO of a prosperous company, oozing with confidence, sacrificial for his children, dedicated to learning, and just blob of inspiration. I can’t believe that it has only been one year since he passed away. I miss you Grandpa. I regret not talking to you more often. Now I realize why you put on such a hard face when talking your grandchildren and children, so that we can become hardened to endure the world when you weren’t there to protect us. Hope your happy and well. I’ll come visit you one day. See you later.

I feel like silly teenage girl. Waiting by my phone, checking it every two minutes for new messages. Why can’t I be cool, relaxed, and smooth when it comes to you? It feels as though you brought down my usual defenses and went straight for my true self.
I want to come off as a calm collective guy instead, I’m a mumbling, jumbling, stuttering fool. The true me. The actual Daniel Ji
Whelp. Poopty pewpty paaants. That didn’t work out as planned.
Studied here for an hour today. It was weird. The change of scenery from the library was good though.
It’s been so long since I’ve fallen this hard for someone else. I don’t know what to do with myself, I’m not even sure why I feel this way. We are in the part of the relationship where we barely know each other. But for some reason I can’t stop thinking about you. Your smile, your posture, your awkwardness, the way you talk faster when you get nervous.
I MUST be going crazy.
100th POST!!! yay!! Thought I’d do something special for my 100th post on Tumblr. So here is my rendition of Daughters - John Mayer.
p.s. didnt have too much time to tinker with this because of up coming finals week so please excuse the mistakes!
Everyone has different fears. It could be fear of heights, stages, or insects however, I think the one common thing that everyone fears inside is being alone. We group together and make communities so that we do not have ever have to face loneliness. One of the most dreaded punishments in society is solitary confinement. Loneliness is not just about being alone, I think loneliness is a feeling that can be felt at anytime. Even if someone has lots of friends and have a ton of people surrounding them they might still feel loneliness inside because they feel a part of them is missing.
Whenever I feel lost or confused or like I lost all sense of direction, I find it very therapeutical to go back to my Basics. For me, Basics mean something that is a crucial part of you and who you are.
Everyone’s Basics might be different. It could be a religion, hobby, a person, an object or even a combination of things.
I’m slowly but surely finding my way back to my Basics so that I can once again head towards the right direction with motivation and confidence.
