I usually do not come up to new people and start a conversation. Not because i am bashful , i must have a strong reason to do it more than just getting to know others and have fun. today i did. i saw a girl sitting on one of the front desks at the class who reminded me my primary school. She was Iranian later i figured out. her style was really similar to the children at our class at that time. i spoke to her after the class and ask her how she winded up to Sweden.


Not much relevant, but i also want to tell about another thing that happened recently and popped up in my mind just now. last week me n my husband went to a grocery store and after collecting the stuff we needed, went to the cash desk. A very friendly man whom we had seen before at the store, counted for the payment, gave us the receipt and we left. at home i realized the man has entered an item two times in the receipt while we had bought only one. it was the second time he had made such a mistake. i decided ignoring it this time, since last time when we wanted them to return the money for the extra item, other staff were reporting it and i suppose that maybe if such a mistake happens several times, the manager may criticize him. i find it so despicable to make people embarrassed for their undeliberate mistakes. We should be tolerant.

Do You Fall in the "You Only Live Once"​ Trap? Or, Fake Self-Actualization

You only live once.
I love life too much to deprive myself of this.
It’s too nice a day to spend doing this.
I’ll be sorry if I don’t at least try it.
I should celebrate this special occasion. (How special is it? National Cheesecake Day? A colleague’s birthday?)
This is special, I have to act now or miss out forever. (Fast food joints exploit this loophole; customers buy more when a limited-time offer is tied to a season, an event, or a specific holiday, such as pumpkin spice lattes or heart-shaped donuts.)
I live in the moment
I want to embrace myself, just as I am. (I try to remember to  Accept myself, and expect more from myself.)
I have to die of something.
I should  do something nice for myself.
I don’t want to be rigid and obsessive about denying myself this.
If I don’t make any demands on myself, I’ll feel better.

You are a fairy tale too good to be true
It is a fairy tale  itself that we found each other
We could just as well
never ever met
Or our meeting
was Decided far before we were born
Who knows, not you
Who knows, not me
We don't know anything now
We don't know anything today
