Spiral of Silence
bmichael:
The Spiral of Silence is some theory about people not piping up for fear of social ostracism or reprisal. It sounds badass and has twelve conditions:
People have a fear of being rejected by those in their social environment, which is called “fear of isolation.”
People are constantly observing the behaviors of those around them, and seeing which gain...
Wise words
Was at a colleague’s party today and her lovely daughter gave a prep talk on motivation.
We were all laughing at it because she was mainly, prep-talking to another one of us who is trying to lose weight.
She shushed us, and told us very seriously to listen to her and said that anything is possible, anything that we want to achieve is within reach, so long we are motivated, and we MUST...
Things that makes me feel secure
Following the list of things that makes me insecure, I’ve decided to draw up this happy list so that I can feel happier in the midst of pms-ing and an emo-y rainy night.
#1 The smell of myself when I’m clean: I know this sounds sick, but I love Dove’s bathing lotion on my skin; in the middle/at the end of the day is another story though^^
#2 My terrible cooking - which usually...

Gravity
I think I’ve never been good at it, and it’s even worse that I need to fake that I am darn good at holding my own grounds.
I have always been doing fine without any disturbances, and you are really one big huge rubber ball that can’t stop bouncing and causing splashes in my pond.
I don’t know how to do all these, I am trying my best to work around it, and work around...
Fragments
Don’t worry. I’m here, why are you worried? Don’t worry. Just live, live at this moment. Don’t worry about the rest.

Too Good
A very nice quote from the Twit herself:
Stop thinking that everyone is “UP THERE”
Everyone is “UP THERE” on a pedestral because you put them on it!

Honestly you might be giving that person too much credit for all you know?!

Goldfish
I’m having short bursts of memory flashes today, it is quite bad.
Ah.
Finally remember what I was going to say.
Had a good day with gor today. Analysed some stuffs that… Are not very comforting to know, but probably good to listen and take note of.
But he summed up my life in a nutshell:

- in the process of moving I got abducted by an alien into...
