An Ode to Easily Bored Hands

Doing crafts is among my fave activities, and teaching them to kids was among the things I loved as much. However, when I let go of a well-paying job to free my soul from bad compromises and found myself out of sorts, I decided to give up the teaching gig because frankly, I couldn't afford it anymore. :P

As much as I would like to continue, circumstances--not to mention finances--have changed. So I have to learn how to adapt... or perish from inevitable depression.

Thinking about this still makes me sad sometimes. But at least they are only twinges now... not gloomy lachrymose showers. ^_^

Pardonnez-moi

Sometimes, I'm just too impatient to find ways to skirt around hurtful words and just bluntly say things that pop into my head. In short, I'm usually tactless. Other times, I'm just plain careless. But contrary to what most people probably think of me, I don't like nudging people's sensibilities. I don't like stepping on other people's toes either. And this might be a hard concept to grasp, but some people do know how to make up their own minds... and stand by them--come hell or high water. And I am one of them. I don't know why?! But with every set of friends I make, this concept seems to be quite hard for them to swallow. Why?! I just want to dodge those seemingly inescapable monikers "bitch" or "ice queen" for a change. Is that so hard to comprehend?! Yes, I know. Some people find it irresistible to goad me because I'm a p...
