Today I went for my first pottery trial class. It was a 3 hours lesson and the lovely couple that taught me had the courage to ditch their corporate jobs to start learning pottery and to make a living out of it.
I was curious and in awe. They seemed to have the perfect life. But what we don’t see is their hardwork. I’ve had this thought for as long as I can remember.
I’ve always wanted to turn my hobby into a business. I’ve tried many hobbies, hoping to find something that I am truly interested in. But the thing is.. whenever I pick up something new, I lose interest really fast. It has been a decade since I was truly interested in something.
Do you guys often feel the same way as I do?
Working in the banking industry.. I constantly feel burned out. I do love challenges and once I start working, I can hardly stop. Not because I love my job but because I’ve this itch inside me that needs to get the job done to my best ability.
ACOMAF is just utterly brillant. This book has successfully made me fall in love with Rhysand and I’m never looking back. I love how the author made the transition of Feyre’s relationship seem so natural and you cannot fault her for it no matter how hard you try.
If you haven’t read this series yet. What are you waiting for? I was initally really skeptical and I’m pretty hard to please but when I say its good. Its good.
I have and I’m about to pen down my thoughts about this anime. My heart definitely felt heavy but I was kinda mentally prepared for it because my colleagues introduced this movie to me and promised that it would be heart wrenching. It’s amazing how this film shows that happiness can be found even in a hopeless situation and it truly depicts the nature of humans especially in dire times.
I can’t help but put myself in the shoes of each character and ask myself: “Would I make the same decisions as them?
As much as I hated how the auntie of these two orphans behaved but truth is, it’s easy to judge but when you are in that situation you start to act in the best interest for you and your family. She too was worried for her immediate family and how they were going to survive on so little food.
It’s definitely the little things that made her blow up (leaving the dirty dishes, how Setsuko whined about the food etc) but that does not justify what she said to the little girl (Not gonna spoil it too much). If you were the auntie would you lash out on them too? What with the pressure of the war and having to live on rations for who knows how long?
I have read different opinions and some viewers are condemning Seita for resorting to stealing but hey, wouldn’t you do that too when you are at the verge of starvation? Well not just you, but you and your little sister. Seita was a child as well and many of us forget that. As a child he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and the responsibility to take care of his sister to keep her alive automatically falls on him with the absence of his parents.
He didn’t make great decisions but he is a child and all he wanted to do was to make his little sister happy to keep that laughter of hers and if that’s not pure and precious, I don’t know what is.
Sorry for this lengthy wall of word vomit but gahhhhh I just have so much to say but I am so overwhelmed!
For any of you who wants to watch, here it is!
Please do share your thoughts as well, I would be honored to read them 🙂
