I have mental illness. Mind clarity is rare, too briefly and often too late. Old friends and acquaintances would look away when they see me. Yup, that unpopular. Of course, I get angry and hurt but deep down, I know I’d do the same too, if I saw 'me'. That’s the icy cold papercut truth. The illness cuts even deeper. I thank you for your readership. Your presence here makes me feel less alone. This blog helps me remember my true worth as a person, and how my own mind threatens it.

That's Me! That's Me!
Have you heard of the phrase, "People never grow up, they just learn how to behave in public"?
I posted my review on my favourite book, the one I'm nobly waiting to purchase at a ridiculously cheap price.
The following is my contribution to Mixfm's book forum. Yup, that's me, that's me!
[cendolabc ] says of "Bound Feet & Western Dress " i have read it 4 times and wouldn't be surprised if i'd pick it up again! written by her brother's granddaughter, it'the testimony of Chang Yu-I, the first woman to be divorced the western way in China, albeit it her unwilling choice to be separated by her famous scholar husband, Hsu Chih Mo. It's a true story of how a Chinese lady had struggled to maintain the propriety values in the midst of modernization at the turn of the century. you will find many interesting quotes in this book. a must read for those who wish to understand the Confucius -Chinese way of thinking.Posted on: : 9/17/2004
