I wear my heart on my sleeve.

It may not seem to be there at first, for it takes some time to see, but once you see it, it’s there in plain sight…no hiding, no holding back.  At the end of the day, when I love, I love with all my heart.  I give it my all Whether its a thing, a person, an idea, a hobby…whatever it is, I care completely. Unconditionally. Blindly. I care and love till that’s all that’s left.

A.A. Milne once wrote “Some people care too much. I think it’s called love”.  I have come to realize, however, that caring too much and wearing your heart on your sleeve isn’t always good because it can hurt. It can wear you out. It can bleed you dry. That isn’t love, right? When all that is there that you can think of and focus on and just want is that, and forgo everything else, that isn’t love. That’s just crazy. Take my yoga practice for example. Today I forced myself to take a day off because I have put off many, many things I need to do because of my love for my practice. Perhaps that no longer is love, right?

Taking time away, creating space, and not wearing my heart on my sleeve and giving way too much…maybe that’s what love is.

And so with that realization, it dawned on me that I really do not need to care too much to really love. Or more so, I should really not get attached to my perceptions of how to love. All I really need to do is love better.

As a child, I attempted to learn how to play the guitar. My aunt, who hails from Cebu, brought me home one of their famous acoustic guitars and tried to teach me. I couldn’t get it! First off my fingers wouldn’t curl around the neck of the guitar. Secondly, I couldn’t hold a tune at all. Lastly, I really couldn’t get the rhythm. It must have sounded so badly my little sister decided to jump on the guitar and break it. Haha. Seriously…Good thing it was just a cheap one and not one of those fancy electric guitars that you plug into the Fender Mustang amplifier.

Recently, a friend of mine tried convincing me to try the guitar hero game. So I did and yeah…I really ain’t no guitar hero. Har. Har. Har.

This morning I had a good laugh at what I was wearing….

I may be vegetarian, but I decided to come out of my Jivamukti yoga class wearing this today. Teehee. I wouldn’t have noticed but then I was talking to my friends about this ginormous bottle of vegetarian fish sauce my friend bought me and then one of them said oh isn’t that cute…green eggs and ham…

Teehee. I should make some custom t-shirts that say fake eggs and veggie ham or something. Random

Yeah today was really just full of random laughs like this!
