"You might think you are timid and afraid of life, but I honestly don't think so. It is never easy to live alone, but you do succeed on dealing with your problems and live alone. That's not timid. You might see me as a bold person and all, but you do know I don't like to live alone, though I can, and I need my alone time from time to time. Don't wanna be alone is actually timid in a way. Lol." "Maybe we are both courageous, but in different ways." "Or maybe we all are both courageous and timid in many ways, and that's what normal is about, and you are normal in a way." "Nah, normal sounds boring lol." "But you wished to be normal, previously. Gaaaah lol." --- What a peculiar mind. Lol. --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , a...

"Worry about the things you can control, not about the things you can't." Thank you for reminding me of this. Mindfulness is still a work in progress for me. Even after all the understanding of how my brain works and what I should actually do, the temptation of controlling the outcome as much as possible, was kinda hard to ignore. To have more faith on myself and on the bigger plan. To control the things I could and to let go of things that I can't. --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .

"The way I see 'The future is bright for you' is not when everything is prepared and set up now, to make us safe from everything in life (a condition which obviously will never exist). On the contrary, it is a condition when we are ready, whatever life throws at us, at whenever. The priority is not on the tool, the money, the resources, the technology, or even the network. They are bonuses. It is more to the mind, the character and personal skills. A confuse soul with a million dollar mostly would either create a mess or a lame history. A soul with clear purpose and a thousand dollar will either survive or create a legend. Well, of course we have to earn that thousand dollar first, otherwise don't talk about visions and goals, cause they do have high prices. Everything has a price that we have to pay for, either in money, time, or life. What I'm saying is; no safety net is a bad plan, but so does a fault good plan." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow throug...

"Do you know butterflies were one of the favourite subjects of Chinese trade art in the mid- 1800s? The Chinese love butterflies. There's also a famous folk tale about two lovers who died broken hearts and reemerge as butterflies. Also, the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, 'What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.'" "I like that. Is this something you believe?" "Hm?" "That the end is also the beginning?" "For the caterpillar, yes." "But do you believe it's true for all things?" "I don't know. I'm not programmed to believe in that way. What about you?" "I'd like to believe that." "Do you?" "Sometimes I think, human are programmed to believe in such things, but I don't know if it's really in our best interest." "May I be honest with you?" "Is not being honest an option for you?" "...

"Why do you like tea?" "Do you mean the taste of tea?" "Maybe. Is the taste why you like tea?" "It has something to do with it." "Is it why you've given your life to tea?" "Given my life to tea, well that sounds pretty serious." "Is it not serious?" "I guess I've acquired a taste for tea. But it's not why I became interested. I think what I was really drawn to at the beginning was the idea of tea." "The idea of tea." "Yeah, I saw this documentary at college, it was from the 20th century. And it was about this man searching for the best tea in China." "China is where tea started." "Yes. I think it was his searching that compelled me. You know, the pursuit of this illusive thing, this process that was connected to the soil, to the plants, to the weather, and a way of life." "So, that's what you like about tea? The search, not so much the taste....

“How do you find beauty in the world? Or, rather, things that might not be conventionally “beautiful”, but are beautiful just for you. Say, everybody likes flowers. Everybody loves sunsets. How do you find your own vision of beauty?” “I love you, even if there isn't any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.” "...and that is beautiful." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .

"We could see and live our lives from different and opposite perspectives, it doesn't matter. We could create the lives that we want through what we want to happen or what we don't want to happen. We could rush until the next stop, or we could stop until the next rush. The situations, circumstances, and rules don't really matter. The outcome will always have the biggest connection with what we decide out of them, and how we execute our decisions." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .
