Note-to-self;
It’s important to distinguish independence from loneliness, because it’s too easy to get the two confused. They parallel because they both place emphasis on the number one, but know that loneliness thrives off of dependence on others whereas independence is more of a dependence on yourself. Loneliness is an empty silhouette—a shadow of something that has been long gone; it’s a parasite that eats you up on the inside, until you realize it’s a double negative because you never had anything there in the first place.
So don’t let yourself reach a fall where you become that sad little girl moping in the dark corners of your room, but instead, be the girl with your head held high with so much confidence and ambition that even strangers can recognize it just passing by you on the concrete sidewalks. Yeah, that’s the type of person I want to be. And other people, they’ll come and go when they do, and hopefully at that point, it won’t phase me, anymore.
love always, ejc.
I just feel like reppin’ hard tonight LOL I’m pretty proud of myself for making it through almost my entire first year alive. Ninth week, tenth week and finals week let’s gooo! Summer’s awaiting :)
The way I see it;
good karma was never supposed to be an incentive to do good things for other people, but a reward. The whole idea of payoffs messes with people’s minds, and with human nature’s tendency to be selfish, really though. It’s too easy to get lost within the greed, so here’s to a reminder: to do things for other people just for the sake of doing it because we know we can make a difference. And cheers to that.
love always, ejc.
AHAHAH this picture is just too smouldering. Or, well, that’s one way to describe it LOL. If we ever had a show, this would mosdef be our cover lmaoooo. Sho happy they visited :D this weekend is my inspiration to summer LOL. Holla!
Sometimes;
I think I am like a wave in the ocean—I reach out to people and then pull back whenever I feel like it. But too bad not everyone else is like the sand at the shoreline—I can’t guarantee that they’ll still be there, waiting in the same exact place to catch my drift the next time I decide to do so again. And when that happens, the sun will disappear behind the horizon and arise once more when it’s time; I know there will be cold darkness, but I also know that the warmth of light has never ceased to fail me in reappearing either. No matter what happens, one thing is for certain—I, like the waves, have vowed to never stop moving. And we intend to keep that promise.
love always, ejc.
I love having visitors—especially ohsfam2011<3 Toured campus, caught dinner & then raaaaged at the club ;D lmaooo I’m so deadbeat right now. Night night :)
I want to rediscover my passion;
so lifeless things can feel invigorating again. I don’t mind facing the consequences of a burn and crash if I can have another chance at glowing incandescently, once more. And when the wind howls, I will no longer concede to its demands; and when the water roars, I will no longer shrink in size to its presence. I will tear down bridges to light my path.
To consume inspiration and multiply it by tenfold. Well, that is all I wish to do.
love always, ejc.

Call me emotionally bankrupt. I say I’ve grown weary of trying.
About
Here's another feat of mine; an attempt--to be original and clever and philosophical and liked and reblogged and reflective of my personality on Tumblr, in hopes that your tastes will align with mine.I'd like to think that in my rawest, most honest and bottom layer form--I'm a girl who'd like to sit with good company, over a tapioca drink, during any season, and have deep talks or good laughs with.
And, I'm still trying to love myself, despite my inadequacies, flaws and all, but nevertheless--I am and do nothing short of something emaaazingly<3.
If I amuse you then, hi, I'm Emily June Chen, and welcome to the inside of my mind.
