Representation

Finally, I seem to be successful in pushing myself out of the bad mood swings, and so I am back here. I went to my home yesterday, and I think that helped me a great deal. Also, I got a sound sleep after a long time which makes me relaxed and happy. Plus, I met two of my friends, a bonus!
I came across some lines while reading a magazine so thought of sharing them with you, my readers.

"If you think you are bad at judging people, don't blame yourself for that. For the first six months (at least), people in relationships don't really meet each other, they just meet representatives of each other. Representatives that put their best face on." And this does not apply to just love relationships, its with every relation that we have to make. Whenever we meet people, personally or professionally, friends or colleagues, this applies everywhere i think. People are too nice and sweet initially. Its after some time has passed that they start failing to carry on with representations and their real self comes to the surface. And that's when either best of friendships are made or the worst of differences come up. Don't you think so?
P.S. Thank you readers for all your wishes on my last posts :o) You guys (I mean girls) really make me happy!

    that quote really is true. and i guess sometimes you get lucky that the representative is actually the person underneath..other times you're completely surprised when their true colors show. i've definitley witnessed both! have a great day beautiful!

    I've never really thought of it that way until now, but I think you might be right. People have representatives of themselves that they use as fronts for people to meet... hmmm. Makes me think more...

    I'm happy that you're doing okay now!

    This made a very good point. And I feel like even sometimes the representative phase doesn't even last six months. Some people just stop caring. I knew that plenty of people put on a sweet face to rope people in.. but I didn't think everyone did it.

    Glad to have you back. :)

    p.s. What time zone are you in? Here, I think I'm awake early, and yet you've posted (hours ago, it says) AND people have had time to make comments.

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17.  Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

Transient Tuesdays: Create change

Imagine a world where everything remained unchanged. That would mean no age, no time, no movement and of course no development. If you ask me, I see no difference between death and remaining static. When was the last time you did something new?  How long have you been sticking to a routine and disregarded the idea of doing something new for a change? Is any of your bad habits causing you pain?  You realize you have to change but simply can't bring yourself to do it?   Do you fear changing will jeopardize your present circumstances? I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to these questions. The fact that you're reading this means you want to take the steps and turn your life around. You must be aware how important change is to our survival. Change is mandatory. Change is constant. Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere and present in the most minute of things. It's happening to you as you read this. So, why do we shy away from...
