There must have been a thousand times where I thought I figured out who I am and where I want to be and then I'll realize that I am no where close to my destination. There must have been a million times where I paused to think, what are we really all fighting for? Then I came to an understanding that I will never know the answer. I want to live, to love, to fight, to learn. I want to lead a life brimming with passion, I want to love ridiculously, and learn to walk in the shoes of heroes.
On a lighter note...
I laugh a lot... usually at stuff that's not even funny. Many people say I'm super friendly and sociable, though I grew up being an extremely shy girl. I love L.A. I believe in the power and significance of community involvement. I'm a girly girl. Im a romantic. I love movies, musicals, and concerts. I'm a shopaholic but I hardly ever buy stuff at full price. I am a conservative. I can't live without AM talk radio. I believe in Taiwan's independence. I love singing. I attempt to live outside of my comfort zone. The glass is always half full.
Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride
so I love you because I know no other way than this:
where "I" does not exist, nor "you".
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
