My trip to this little island has been a pretty fun one.

As much as I refuse to remember the details, 

I still want to put these pictures out here. 

For memory sake

To remember that I was once

and hopefully will continue to 

be deeply interested in photography.

"I just wanna give you everythin'

Show you I'm a Southern gentleman

All I wanna do is let you in 

But good guys, good guys never win"

These long winding smiles embracing the valley 

Dancing with stream and singing with the wind

I'm like an idylist

Reading the chapter of life

Wheat fields bending down to longing for the tenderness 

The valley is filled with pipers 

I listen to the tune speechlessly and follow

wherever the fairy tale goes

- Maltoses by Jay Chou

When you stare at Manhattan 

let the Manhattan skyline be the dreams that you want to achieve

For years Brooklyn stood in the shadow of Manhattan,

but it has now emerged as an apex of creativity and is home to many artists, writers and more. 

So don't be afraid to be an outlier, 

and show the world what you're made of

Go live the Manhattan life that we've dreamt about.

Your small town blues, they're melting away

Don't make a brand new start of it, in Old New York

You always make it there, you make it anywhere

Its up to you, New York, New York

New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleeps

And find king of the hill one top of the list 

A number one

I keep walking forward, never looking back 

Because if I ever stop even for a while, seems like thoughts about you will come again 

But it's no use since I miss you so much 

Memories about you never fade even once 

After the long winter, spring will always come

Melting again my once frozen heart

As I look to the night sky, thoughts about you will always come too,

Tonight as I can't sleep again, I wonder if you know?

Hop on the 90 years old roller coaster
as it offers a glimpse into the past

Wonder wheel makes me wonder as I wander
My dreams of growing up into a wonder
slowly withers

I have come to realize how adulting took away all my ambitious thoughts
and I must say that
The youngest me is the bravest me

So,
little child, don't be afraid to dream because

you are at the most fearless stage of your life

Spread your wings and fly high.

If,
Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too

Then,

Heartbreaks are proof that love can be painful too 

We use promises to fall in love 
but we compromise to stay in love

Promises that failed to be fulfilled 
turned into shackles 
and
we slowly became prisoners of love 
who were trapped in the past

Cheers to a place that has witnessed my growth
As I have turned into a better me than I used to be

The fountain in front of the Nebraska Union
that many had soaked their feet
along with conversations that brought laughter and tears

Huskers would hold a cup of coffee under the trees
writing their uncompleted assignments
and there is me
lying in the hammock
enjoying the exceptionally nice weather in Nebraska today

There is an old saying in Nebraska that
if you don't like the weather, just wait a while.

It can be snowing on a random day in April and
kids can be outside with their tees and shorts playing football on the next day

Football season attracts the sea of red
cheering Go Big Red
The Memorial Stadium still holds an ongoing record
of consecutive sellouts and
on every game day
the stadium becomes the third largest city in the State of Nebraska

As a wise friend once said
The color of Nebraska is red
and the color of your blood is red
Therefore,
Nebraska will always run through your veins.

There is truly
No Place like Nebraska.

They say
We are living
in a world full of color

They say
Every day is a new day
full of blessings

They say
Red is passionate
Red is energetic

But why do I
Only see black and white
in the world full of color

But why do I feel
Every day is a new day
full of sorrows

But why do I see
Red as blood
Red as wound
Red as endless hell

Woah woah woah. Hey there! Slow down your pace and take a deep breath. Now take a look around you. Yes, you are doing fine. You are doing perfectly fine. Why the rush my dear friend?

Oh honey, look at you. Hush... don't try to explain now. You're all sweaty and tired. Take my handkerchief and wipe away the fatigue that's written all over your face. 

Oh silly you. Why the worry? You will shine when it's your time to shine. You will find what you are looking for when the right time comes. It might take some time for you to reach the goal that you are trying to achieve now but hang in there. 

Just keep doing what you are doing now. When in doubt, close your eyes and question yourself. Picture yourself doing the thing that you've always wanted to do. That's right. That smile. You're working towards that smile. 

Remember He will always be there to guide you when you are lost. 

Don't compare yourself to others. They don't know what you know. 

Just in case someone hasn't told you this today... You're amazing and beautiful in your own unique way.

and it was such an amazing day that I really didn't want to leave the park so I cried and rolled on the floor begging my friends to stay a little longer I was hoping Universal Studios to grant me an annual pass so I don't need to pay to come in again at least for this year yeah it didn't happen it was hella embarrassing ohh i tried

Crazy little thing called love but what's love maybe that's something people like us will never understand but we still go after it we swim and swim and swim and look for it knowing it will never be there

the words above is totally random and I haven't thought of anything nice to write about La Jolla yet so please chill and go see some other posts i would 10/10 recommend u check back later cuz yes im full of surprise just like life

Something about New York City keeps me alive. But I can't exactly tell you what it is. Maybe it's the lights. Maybe it's the vibes. Maybe it's the history of this interesting city. Or maybe it's the people.

Oh yes, the people. The strangers in New York City. How weird it is to feel familiar with people you've only met for the first time. Wandering the streets of Manhattan, oddly I felt a sense of belonging by looking at all the different faces on the streets of New York City.

They said that New York City is magical. She is exceptionally beautiful in winter, people would go ice-skating at the Rockefeller Center despite the harsh winter wind.

Neither did I believe in magic or love at first sight, until the day I took this picture.
