On one hand...



"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain


I have an increasing feeling of loneliness nowadays. I have a feeling no one can rightly understand things around me the way I look at them. I say this not out of arrogance. I say this out of helplessness. I've begin to love life more than ever before, and I feel I should be telling the world about it. I don't fear death. I feel helpless. I feel life is slipping away every moment. I can't seem to capture everything. My passion to blog stems from this underlying feeling. I'm not depressed or anything. I feel these things. I've developed an eye for photography these days. People call it creativity, or by other names. I know from where it comes. It comes from a genuine feeling to capture the true beauty of life. I'm loving life. I want to accomplish certain things before anything happens:

1) Learn to dance the tango and salsa
