thorns vs. stones

i have to admit, i am not that much of a hedonistic person these days. perhaps life has toughened me up a bit, and i somehow realised that pleasure is not the ultimate happiness. and being constantly happy is not a good thing. and this view shall lead to a conversation i had with vonne yesterday.

so it was a ji mui session, where htht was the ultimate goal of us meeting up. so i told her about the uncertainty of my future, my worries and my doubts. i was at a junction where i couldn't decide which path should i embark upon.

and the advice she gave was, which i am more than glad to share:

so she said:
'get your direction. you are at a point where 2 roads diverge and you don't know what to choose. one has stones, and the other has thorns. so you are considering the implications of both the stones and the thorns, and considering both doubles the worry you have. take your pick. stones or thorns? '

so that was what she told me.

sometimes, life is too overwhelmed by stressful events that the future becomes a blurred picture. but, just like the fog in the mountain; the mountain is always there no matter what. all we need, is just a slap right in your face by your BFFs to shout to you : HEY, WAKE UP!!

and yeah, so thanks vonne. it was a good piece of advice and i do heart you and you do know it :)

p.s. thorns or stones, that's my pick and i'll overcome 'em one by one. so this brings back to the hedonistic view :)
