These scars will always remind me on how I tried to hide from my 6th grade crush during our graduation picture. These scars will always remind me when he said that it doesn’t matter if I have it or not that I should let it, no matter how many acne scattered and occupied my face. These scars will always remind me the pity and hopeless looks of friends who was “concerned” on my situation and how I tried to mask my disappointments and discomfort. These scars will always remind me on how I always wait for someone to say that I am beautiful and mean it even though I think that I am not. These scars will always remind me on how I tried every products I heard. These scars will always remind me on how distorted what real beauty is - that no one will ever approach you when you have those pimples on your face, how frustrating it was because the society makes it the way it is. But these scars will always remind me that even all of those things always put me into almost hopelessness  I never lose hope to myself and I knew and found what real beauty is and found the beauty within me. With these scars, I know what real beauty is and what others thought of it was wrong. I learn to have faith, to stick to it and never lose hope. Because it’s just a simple thing that a teenager normally faces but it was something big that I never thought I could learn things from it.

I remember, we were just talking about head transplant during psychology class - the possibility of it and the harm it might bring to the people who will be under this operation. There was also one dystopian series that I have read written by Neal Shusterman wherein the society are more invested into developing transplants instead of medicine. They call the process as Unwinding - a bill that suggests deviant teenagers may undergo the said process wherein they donate their body parts and organ (as in everything) in certain people or in an organ bank. Well, that was scary. Anyway, here's the article about the current and will be first ever head transplant:

You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire,  you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life." —Bianca Sparacino, How To Ruin Your Life (Without Even Noticing That You Are)  ‪#‎ TodaysMantra‬

Book Review: Past Heaven by Laura Ward Rating: **** (4/5 stars) "The idea is that once you really love someone, and I mean the kind of love that fills you up from head to toe, it never leaves you.
