aka: romanticizing reality
Yesterday (09.10.11), I struggled with myself. Of admitting I was wrong. Of accepting to myself that I was wrong. Of the fact that I need my sisters around me, more than they need me. Of the fact that I have disappointed myself in more ways than one, yesterday. Of the fact that I find that the constraints of life is eating me and how they are concrete barriers between me and the things that I want. After awhile or so, I have come to realize something and decided to scribble them down.
"The constraints of life shouldn't make you feel down. (Shouldn't let you down.) It should make you want to be better. It should make you want to rise above the challenges the constraints of life give you. (You should break the walls, the concrete barriers that is the constraints of life). (And while doing so,) You should befriend the constraints of life to be a better version of you(rself)."
*I'd like to take a good picture of my scribble only, my camera doesn't have the macro settings so it would be completely pointless to post it unless I'd scan it. But that I would do that later, like all the impending scanning requirements I burden myself with.
Anyway, I've scribbled that down yesterday morning. Last night, while we're on our way home, I think to myself that it seems like that, that paragraph is my way of thinking of romanticizing reality. Like, I choose to make it look beautiful, like it's a good thing. And not as a struggle. Perhaps, as a challenge but not in a sacrificing way of challenging one's self but in a way of growing into something better than one's self at the present time. I think that it is a much preferable way of accepting reality as it goes than anything else.
Coincidentally, my sister sarah posted this in her tumblr:

The word, KALOPSIA, reminds me of the phrase "romanticizing reality" and I don't think, for now, that it is such a bad thing to romanticize reality.
