Being YOUNG

Posted on June 10, 2016June 10, 2016 by J. M. Salgado

I am young but too old for games.

I am young but my habits are too old for my friends.

I am young but my eyes are blinded by experiences.

I am young but my thoughts are cluttered.

I am young but I am too sad.

I am young but I am alone.

I am young but for me my friends act like children.

I am young but I am not free.

I am young but I am not too innocent anymore.

Photo Story (via IG)

The last time I went out. I am grateful for the company, @ronie.jpg

Throughout the years, I learned and fully embraced the idea that failures often open up another way for me to do things. It was not easy to let go of my worries and to simply accept my failures. I may have had that bright smile, but my mind could go to the depths of numerous draining moments. Yet, now, I understand that life needs the effort to keep a glowing faith to tomorrow. I may fail now, but it may just be another opportunity to do something better. It may also be a sign to redirect me to a better option.

Pandemic memories

Just a thought before I go to bed. Maybe I would need these in between so I can have some lighter reads to refresh my mind before jumping back to #TheTaleofGenji

I realized that throughout the years of working, I got slower in #reading 😅 I couldn't move any further and would have to close the book before this chapter begins. There were a lot of pauses in between tonight's read, and I had to put marks (mostly underline and comment) along the margins to keep up with the details and information from the story.

I haven't really thought of my #RecommMonday pick, however, I have this book on my work table since last Saturday and thought that I need to read again. This is a long read for sure, but the story has captivated me since years ago.

Since yesterday, I have been working on easy to cook recipes with the ingredients I have at home. Now, I got hungry and only have the last pieces of kimchi, soba (buckwheat) noodles, and seaweed. So, here, I made my own ramen dish by mixing them all with a bit of soy sauce, mirin, gochujang (chili paste), and sugar. Yup, a bit of sweet aftertaste there, but the heat is still the stronger flavor.

When I have very little ingredients available to make a complete #pesto pasta, so I ended up using the soba (buckwheat) noodles that I have. Surprisingly, the final dish is delicious. ☺️

A new go-to meal that I crave whenever I would want to have a boost in my energy. It seemed that all of the meals are for sharing, so that is a plus for the family. ☺️
