love, without it
THE DICE ROLLED AT 05:13 PM

If you find yourself in love with someone who doesn't love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love didn't choose to rest in another person's heart. If you find someone else in love with you & you don't love him/her, feel honored that love came & called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with YOU, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason & there is a meaning.
You will know in time.
Remember that you DON'T CHOOSE LOVE. LOVE CHOOSES YOU. All you can really do is accept it for all it's mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out & give it away. Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem poor in spirit. Give it to the the world around you in anyway you can....
This is where many Lovers go wrong. Having been so long without LOVE, they understand love only as a NEED. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them. Remember this, and keep it to your heart. "LOVE HAS IT'S OWN TIME, IT'S OWN SEASONS and IT'S OWN REASON FOR COMING and GOING." You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it come to you. But if it chooses to leave from your HEART or from the heart of your LOVER, ''THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO and THERE IS NOTHING YOU SHOULD DO.''
LOVE always had been and always will be a MYSTERY. be glad that it came to live for a moment into your LIFE. "IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN IT WILL COME AGAIN."
Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

Love. With it, you are opening yourself to endless pain but, without it, you'll never know which misery is worse.

more drama
THE DICE ROLLED AT 10:38 PM

gambler

i miss the feeling of being giddy -- the excitement of expecting something really exciting. something that would turn my tummy into knots, and something that would give me reason to wake up with a smile every morning.

i want to stop waking up with a mentality that i have to drag both my feet as i walk and command my body to do things like what a master does to its robotic slave.

sometimes, early in the morning, as i sense the earth turning beneath me, moving me into the sun, i rise into the emptiness and stare at the stars and again i want to be out there.as far as i can go, flinging myself across the void. searching for what i can probably never find...

goodmorning world!

happiness
THE DICE ROLLED AT 07:46 PM

Maybe happiness doesn't have to be about the big, sweeping circumstances, about having everything in your life in place. Maybe it's about stringing together a bunch of small pleasures. Wearing slippers and watching the NBA Finals on TV. Eating a brownie with chocolate ice cream. Obtaining a level 6 Bone Fletcher and knowing there' still 19 levels to go. Pawning Rina Inverse. Surviving her Laguna Blade.

Maybe happiness is just a matter of the little upticks - the traffic signal that said "Walk" the second you go there - and downticks - the itch tag at the back of your collar- that happened to every person in the course of the day. Maybe everybody had the same allotted measure of happiness within each day.

Maybe it doesn't matter if you're a world-famous heartthrob or a dorky geek. Maybe it doesn't even matter if your dying.

Maybe you just got through it. Maybe that was all you could ask for.

Feeling: calm

About the Gambler

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myths are long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Fifth Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose above the the town of Sorsogon. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

The Gambler was born and raised in Sorsogon. Being branded as a bum, he learned to tell stories at an early age, when it became clear that he needed an alternative to getting caught and punished for all the "stuff" he did. He was further encouraged by friends who practiced a kind of conversational Darwinism, where the weak and the slow were gleefully torn to bits by the sharp and the strong.

He is currently the Commander of the Shen an Calhar - The Band of the Red Hand, an elite military organization whose sole purpose is to rid the world of the Forsaken, Darkfriends, Trollocs, and other creatures of the DarkOne. He is also a Mage-type mobile Pilot, a Ta'varen, a freelance writer, a wielder of the One Power, an Ashan an Asha'man [High Guardian/ Sword of the Guardian] and a fellow student of war who lives with two beautiful screenpal pets named MakMak [cat] and BadzMeru [penguin?], and two psychotic herding dogs. He longs for the days when writers were paid by the word,or at least, he wishes he had a dime for every time his friends had asked, "Are you still talking?"
