QUOTE Ego? No. But yes I do not inspire myself. Can U look at the mirror and feel Ur heart melt the way U do when U look at someone U love? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) But yes, I do come down very heavily on myself if I make mistakes, to such an extent that I have now given up on myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad1.gif) I have not felt that myself but yes know a few who do . They can keep looking at themselves for hours . And why do you have such high standards for yourself ? Why do you think you have to prove it to yourself that you cannot fall? Are you on your side or someone else's ? And if you yourslef cannot like you, and advertise it to the ones who love you.. eventually they will start believing you. They have to right. You expect yourself to be perfect.. (and a mighty perfect at that). If that is not ego.. what else is it? Somewhere inside you have to feel that you can achieve perfection.. that is why you set those standards .. right. You do not even wish to take a look at the goals you set yourself, if they can be realized or not.. and start putting yourself down ?? why?? QUOTE BTW has someone told U, U have a twisted way of thinking? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They might have.. I might not have registered it . IF they do not like me or my way of thinking.. they are free to look other way, I would never impose myself on anyone : ). |

I don't set myself high goals. I just want to be happy.

Break, Break, Break
Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, O Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O, well for the fisherman's boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O, well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me. Alfred, Lord Tennyson |

Love this one. Studied it in baby class.
The Brook I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sally And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley. By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorpes, a little town, And half a hundred bridges. Till last by Philip's farm I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles, I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles. With many a curve my banks I fret By many a field and fallow, And many a fairy foreland set With willow-weed and mallow. I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing, And here and there a lusty trout, And here and there a grayling, And here and there a foamy flake Upon me, as I travel With many a silvery waterbreak Above the golden gravel, And draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. I steal by lawns and grassy plots, I slide by hazel covers; I move the sweet forget-me-nots That grow for happy lovers. I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance, Among my skimming swallows; I make the netted sunbeam dance Against my sandy shallows. I murmur under moon and stars In brambly wildernesses; I linger by my shingly bars; I loiter round my cresses; And out again I curve and flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. Alfred, Lord Tennyson |

So we'll go no more a roving
so late into the night Though the heart be still as loving And the moon be still as bright. For the sword outwears the sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And Love itself have rest. Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a roving By the light of the moon. (---Lord Byron) If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.

QUOTE U really will do all that mah She wolf? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) yeah am touched in head na but think about it.. why do I care.. becuase you are a worthless cause.. or maybe because you really are a lovely person. QUOTE Very true Priya...I AM VERY OFTEN considered A FREAK.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) tell them to go eat dirt whoever suggested you are a freak. As much as I have seen you, am yet to come across someone with so much strength of will and such conviction. ( At times I feel like punching you gals ! sigh!! Maybe thats what I would do ) |

TO ELLEN
Lord Byron Oh! might I kiss those eyes of fire, A million scarce would quench desire: Still would I steep my lips in bliss, And dwell an age on every kiss; Nor then my soul should sated be, Still would I kiss and cling to thee: Nought should my kiss from thine dissever; Still would we kiss, and kiss for ever, E'en though the numbers did exceed The yellow harvest's countless seed. To part would be a vain endeavor: Could I desist? — ah! never — never! |
