Goodbye long distance. Here’s to a new year of memories and many more to come - in person and not through a screen or a phone call. I love you baokalo. 
“True love waits, in haunted attics. True love lives, on lollipops and crisps”  

I love you too my darling. Always. Can’t wait to see you and kiss you

I think the function of suffering is to let me know that my perception is skewed; what I’m doing is judging natural events in such a way that I am creating suffering within myself. For instance, you have pain over certain conditions, certain situations that occur. And if you just say ‘ok, here I am, I’m going to experience the pain,’ you don’t suffer. The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.” - Hubert Selby Jr

Day 84 - Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?

Neither -

With no emotion whatsoever, a person is not entirely human. Emotion, the pinnacle of ones character; defines strength. Crying for a cause is a sign of one’s strength in emotion, personality and character.

Shedding a heap of tears over victims of recent atrocities, and crying over the fact your boyfriend ditched a night out with you to spend time with family - a prime example that crying over a worthwhile cause is having heart, whilst crying over a worthless affront maybe described as a weakness in one’s emotion.
