Conquer

When countless failures find you,
and there's no escape for you.
When nothing you do seems good enough,
and you have no idea why or how.
When the rain doesn't stop,
and the wind doesn't break.

You fall. 
Break. 
Breathe. 
Stand up. 
Look ahead.
And go again. 

Is it really that difficult?

Ancient

Each time i open this page, with the intention to note down my thoughts and feelings; i start off with rather strong motivation. But 95% of the time, i close it in the same manner i opened it. This, has to change. And the desire to change, isn't alien to me. I have vowed to change, multiple times. Countless times. 
I feel the need for this. To note down. To express. To have a time of my own. To tell myself the things i have been thinking about. To materialize my thoughts and emotions. I need this. 
I really do.

Just came back from the ancient city of Kyoto. Watched it glows in red, golden and yellow. Along with half of the nation, of course. I do agree that it was rather spectacular. But the crowd of which we have to brave makes everything less worthy. And the photographers; range from 5 years old (or less) to well over 75. This, is Japan during seasonal holiday. Especially Kyoto in autumn (spring too). Photos when i return home to process them. All in all, i think i have gotten myself what i came for, but still i have to admit that i have not really quenched my thirst for a shot worthy enough to close the chapter. Perhaps, the crowd. Or is it just me and my insufficient skills. 

Still, like all trips; the company makes all the difference. And with her, i guess it's good enough for me. 

I guess i should really start studying for my Japanese test.
