Today I shall talk about balance.
I feel that balance is so important because basically its the critical key in everything you do. Balance keeps you grounded. it keeps you in check, when you become too arrogant or complacent, you just need balance. It applies to everything. Relationships, financial issues, time management, entertainment, social circles. Basically if you can balance the things in life and always have the correct perspective about things, life, you'll realize is very very simple.

One example I'd like to qoute is comfort zones. Despite me saying that having a comfort zone may hinder you from all that life opportunities, I still believe that having a comfort zone can be a good thing. It helps you to catch up, helps you to relax. its not all work work work with no relaxation at all. After a good relaxation, you're work becomes more efficient. Its all about balance.

In terms of comfort zone, I've always believed that everyone should have their own ground. their own refuge. their own place where they can say or do whatever they want. the place where they think pure thoughts about anyone or anything, the place where they feel most relaxed. its a place where only you go, and i dont mean a literal place like orchard road. i mean a place you've developed in your heart, that foundation which no one can take away from you. Its important to me to find out that thing which makes you happy and to constantly take control of it and realize its positive effect on you.

My happy place is doing the things i like which doesnt have to be something great or expensive. my happy place, is doing solitary things. i love going out and socializing, but thats just a part of my life. but when i really wanna let go and relax. when i really want to do whatever i want without a care in the world. My happy place is books and my online TV shows. I love reading and i love watching my favourite dramas. Its my source of refuge, when i read or watch TV shows, i feel like i can be part of the book or show. I can be like a third party and get so immersed in it. I would feel so relaxed and even after a hard day's work, i look forward to going to my happy place. of cos this is my independent happy place. its for those days i wanna be alone. but when i wanna be with someone, he makes me just as relaxed and happy. he's my other comfort zone. he's there for me when i'm sad or angry. he always tries to understand what i'm going through. and he's definitely not practical in the sense he doesnt try to think of solutions all the time. he just listens and understands. and when we go out, i always feel so comfortable with him. he makes me feel like i can be whoever and i can do whatever. (:

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me

for now, as he's busy with his project, i suppose gilmore girls and grey's anatomy will have to accompany me. the next best thing is to just go home, let my shows buff while i take a nice warm shower, then cuddle in bed next to my laptop and catch up on all the missed seasons. ah... i have 7 seasons for gilmore girls and 4 seasons for grey's anatomy. coolness.

balance. when i can balance my comfort zone and enjoy life at the same time, it rocks. balance is everything.
