...

All my friends tell me I should move on

I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song

Ahhh, that's how you sang it

Loving you forever, can't be wrong

Even though you're not here, won't move on

Ahhh, that's how we played it

And there's no remedy for memory your face is

Like a melody, it won't leave my head

Your soul is haunting me and telling me

That everything is fine

But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes

It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Every time I close my eyes

It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

All my friends ask me why I stay strong

Tell 'em when you find true love it lives on

Ahhh, that's why I stay here

And there's no remedy for memory your face is

Like a melody, it won't leave my head

Your soul is haunting me and telling me

That everything is fine

But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes

It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Every time I close my eyes

It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight,

Oh oh oh, ha ha ha

I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

Oh oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha

I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

There's no relief, I see you in my sleep

And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me

There's no release, I feel you in my dreams

Telling me I'm fine

Every time I close my eyes

It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Every time I close my eyes

It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight,

Oh oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha

I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

Oh oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha

I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

In English - Happy New Year! In Chinese - 新年快乐! In Horse - Neiiiiighh!

Have a good one! :-)

"I will keep diving deeper with you, until my kiss is your only oxygen"

Fate has more or less dissolved, and that is because of free will. 

It annoys me when people are lazy, live on their fear, or become passive about their dreams in the hope that 'if it's meant to be, it will be'. That's bullshit. 

Not everything is handed to you on a silver platter you know. Nothing in life is easy. You're here on this earth to learn lessons, to grow, to accomplish things, etcetera. Where's the learning and growing in getting everything handed to you?

 We still have a choice on what path we take- even outside influences can come into effect and tamper with our path, and of course we can walk away from our fate. 

The fated opportunities are handed or presented to us, but that does not mean we are going to 100% take it and follow our fate just cause it's shown to us. We have FREE WILL so if it's meant to be, opportunities will present themselves in a myriad of ways and we grab them to make it be. But it doesn't necessarily mean we will, and so if things are meant to be, that doesn't always mean they will be as it's up to us. 

We are ultimately in charge of our own lives, we are in the driving seat. The universe can nudge and whisper directions to us, but we don't have to listen as we're in the driving seat and we are ultimately in charge of where our car is headed to- be it the Oasis of dreams, love, and happiness that the universe, your guides and intuition will lead you to, or the fountain of despair next to the waterfall of regret right by the river of hopelessness. 

It's all in our hands and fate doesn't mean much anymore because we have the power. We can be fated in this life to be a prime minister, win a gold medal, marry the person of our dreams, etc. but that doesn't mean it's definitely going to happen because you might stay at home all the time, not talk to people, not be motivated, not believe in yourself, be too scared, etc and you miss opportunities and run from what is your fate. 

Or fate can give you opportunities or openings and you simply become too scared to follow them, or you're too mistrustful in yourself and in your path and you think maybe it's not for you, or you'll do it your way. (Which never works out well. Ever. We don't know better than God, the Universe, our higher selves, angels, or whatever you believe in)

In which case, you made something that was meant to be or even presented to you not be. And ironically, the ones who turn their back on fated opportunities the most are the ones who live by 'if it's meant to be, it will be' in order to justify their fear to follow fate and trust themselves, or to have some hope to compensate for the regret or guilt of those opportunities they've lost. 

So, "if it's meant to be it'll be"? Well,  that's up to you. 

We are masters of our own fate.

'Love should hurt'.. 'It isn't love until it hurts'

Nononononononono NO. 

I heard that in some lyrics, saw that written somewhere- in fact, it's everywhere but friends, it's simply not true. Not in the slightest and it's incredibly sad that people think that way. It's a sign of how we've been brainwashed and how we've allowed the dark forces and lower energies (negative people, limiting thoughts etc) in the world to conquer us. 

Love is pure and it's the most powerful emotion on the planet, it heals both the world and ourselves. But naturally when there is light, there is also darkness. But this darkness comes not from love. It's from negative forces & negative people around us. 

Love is strong. When we initially feel it... That attraction, that bliss, that feeling deep within our hearts and our minds that we- our souls are home. THAT is love, and that is all it is. Unconditional, unselfish etc (I've attached St Paul's first letter to the Corinthians below). 

Really that's it. 

But then we as human beings complicate it- we bring in the demons of fear, doubt, selfishness, (the list goes on) and we think no, this is too good to be true so you then try to rationalise it and you ruin it. To love is to lose yourself but some people are too afraid to let go, scared they won't get caught. Not trusting in divine will or just simply themselves. We are sold the idea of love having to hurt by the media. Hollywood lives on our fears, emphasising them, changing how we look at things (how many completely happy love stories without pain have you seen?) and then we expect the same for us when the pain is not our portion. We are sold dreams. Told love has to hurt. It doesn't have to be this way. 

Don't you see... True love isn't wrong and it does not hurt- it's pure happiness yet we doubt, mistrust and get scared. This fear leads us to ignore our hearts and instincts and act on this fear. When you act out of fear instead of love & your gut instincts you're merely left with negativity- anger, jealousy, selfishness etc- the opposite of what love should be. Your reaction and rejection of love makes you act like this and then you blame it on love and say love hurts when in reality, love (well its perception) was twisted by your own fair hands. Negative emotions? Pfft, that's not love!

You break your own heart. That initial feeling of love was never painful, you simply rejected it yourself, brought in things that were never there. The shock of an emotion so strong put you in defence mode & made you feel you were unwilling to surrender and trust yourself. You mess if all up and claim love made it that way. We have free will and YOU chose to listen to the darkness. 

Love didn't make you act that way, fear did. True love will not hurt you if you follow it, trust & believe. If you suddenly do, your only regret would be you didn't so it sooner. 

You don't have to hurt yourself & others because of love, for the only sacrifice in the pursuit of love is surrender. You surrender to the love, you let it carry you and you follow your heart. You ignore those dark feelings, push through and become greater than your fear- which you most certainly are. When you try and stop pain because of love you just cause more hurt to you & possibly the other person because you deprive them and there is no hurt in love. All you do is attract this hurt you think should be there in, in order to 'protect' yourself and the other. Yet rejecting the feeling only leads to pain. No good will come out of turning your back on love. Ever. I, Dalanda can promise you this. Turning your back on true love only leaves you with harsh lessons and pain reminding you you should have listened to your heart in the first place. 

All that's left behind is regret and negativity... From something so beautiful and pure. 

Regret is just so painful... What if? I should have?, God, I wish I'd... Etc. 

Love is beautiful. 

Yet you kick it and blame it for breaking your foot forgetting you were the one that decided to kick it. 

Don't turn your back on true love or your gut. Ever. If there is anything that will lead you home and make you safe it's love. Embrace it. 

True love itself doesn't hurt, stop complicating it for yourself. 

Unbreak your heart 

If they tell you true love hurts, they're lying and they're at a vibration you don't want to enter because you'll be hurting too, along with love. 

Just step back for a second and see it like I do...

"BRETHREN, love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy."

Worry.

Worry is prayer for something you don't want. 

And never underestimate the power of THOUGHT. 

My hair does strange things at night...

Nothing compares...

But I love it when I'm let inside someone's mind...

Psychology says, unexpressed emotions will never die. They become buried in your mind & can often destroy you mentally.

Yes. ❤️

"Follow your heart in everything you do. No one is going to judge you, or fault you, for anything, no matter how it turns out. It is best to try new things, not stay in your comfort zone, for that is how we learn. We all learn. Even I am learning."

I fucking hate it when people do this. If you're not going to listen to me, don't ask! 

A bird in a cage is not living in its natural state. Any bird - be it a parakeet or an eagle - was meant to fly. To have wings and be stuck in a small wire world forever was not part of the plan. You have a way to soar too, but you are not spreading your wings. Why? Nothing is stopping you from indulging in a natural talent in the hopes of having great success, so perhaps the cage you are in is of your own making. You are not a bird, of course, and so you have options. Use your creativity to escape whatever is holding you back, or before too long you may lose the will to fly.

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul." 

- William Ernest Henley, Invictus

I can't sleep tonight

Wide awake and so confused

Everything's in line

But I am bruised

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I kinda need a hero

Is it you?

I never see the forest for the trees

I could really use your melody

Baby I'm a little blind

I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me

I know you're there

You could be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

Somebody speak to me

Cause I'm feeling like hell

Need you to answer me

I'm overwhelmed

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I need a star to follow

I don't know

I never see the forest for the trees

I could really use your melody

Baby I'm a little blind

I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me

I know you're there

You could be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

I don't know what I'd do without you

Your words are like a whisper cutting through

As long as you are with me here tonight

I'm good

Can you be my nightingale?

Feels so close

I know you're there

Oh, nightingale

Sing to me

I know you're there

'Cause baby you're my sanity

You bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

She made me crop her out :-(

Looooool, I like doing this to people

Don't be fooled!

“Really try to follow what it is that you want to do and what your heart is telling you to do”

- Jennifer Aniston.

"You learned not to have trust. You were taught distrust. You were taught to live in the world as you would live with an unruly beast. You were taught to be bold, even brazen, in the face of life, or you were taught to be timid. Either way, you were taught to fear. You were taught that certain happenings in life were untenable.

What if you had not learned all that? You would have a different understanding, and you would move differently in life. Hot or cold, both would be okay. You would be far more than a recipient. You might even be a welcomer of life as it shows up.

If you did take life as it comes, what would be fearful to you? What would be horrendous? As you feel, so you act or react. What if you were not fearful? What if your whole world did not depend upon what occurred in it? Would you not be free from fear?

And why not be? What good does living in a state of fear do for you anyway?

You may have been living as a triangle that sits on its point instead of on its base. Be grounded in yourself, beloveds. Be grounded in yourself over fear any day. Create a different basis for your life. Be not afraid when the doorbell rings. Be not afraid.

Good Heavens, you don’t have to swagger in life, nor do you have to tiptoe. What it does come down to is that you are too often afraid of your own shadow. We can say that there is nothing but your own shadow-thoughts to tremble at. What is not your thought? The concept of fear is a thought, and you carry it with you constantly as you might with an umbrella when you expect it to rain. And so you carry an umbrella of fear with you just in case. In that way, your life may be fearful.

The shoe you are waiting to fall is named Terrible!

What if, instead of looking out for rainy weather, you had sunshine in mind? What a difference your life on Earth would be. What a different establishment you would live in. You would have freedom from fear. If you were at the edge of a cliff, you would look up more than you looked down. Upward is vast, and below is less vast. If the world exists of all possibilities, and surely it does, then why focus on only one kind of possibility? Focus on the horizon and lift your head high. The Kingdom of God certainly does lie within you. Within you lies the Kingdom of God. Within God is the splendor and the glory.

Certainly, fear did not make you. I made you. Too often fear has been your guide. Remember Me. Remember angels. Be your own angel. Steer yourself away from fear. Look, fear is a big bully. Fear is not your Higher Self by any stretch of the imagination. Fear perpetuates itself. Fear is a perpetrator. It is up to no good. You may well have trusted in fear. You may have majored in fear instead of love.

Love yourself, and fear will not hold such a high place of reverence in your life. Fear will get out of the way. It will no longer hold the ascendency. Fear will not be your first thought in the morning or at night. Fear might not hold a place in your heart at all. Fear is mighty only as you say so. And who, in his right mind, despite all the reasons given, would live in fear, live waiting for the axe of fear and trouble to fall?

When you are stuck, think of Me, for I am the Field of All Possibilities, or let Me say I am the Field of Love. Where I am, death is not. There is life and Life Alone. We, you and I, live together forever. Eternal and Infinite are We. Let fear go."

-God

I would love to sleep forever.

From "Humans of New York"

"I ran away to California for a week without telling anyone. I wanted to remove myself from everything, to see if I could work out some things in my head. But it actually created more problems. I learned it doesn't really work that way."
"How do you mean?"
"Just that if you can't figure out your problems in your present circumstances, you're probably not going to figure them out by running away from them."

"You must save this hawk, he said, for she is my life, my last and best reason for living. And then he said, one day, we will know such happiness, as two people dream of, but never do."

Well...?

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." 

- Jim Morrison
