violent-buddhist: The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes There’s a small room in Minnesota thatblocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number!

You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’ That sounds swell. Just the serene quiet of you, your thoughts, and the unceasing pounding of the human heart.

Do you…

ever feel like you just want to pack a backpack and buy a plane ticket to wherever and just go? Thats how I feel right now. I wish to be free, to be able to travel and see the world and really live my life and discover everything wonderful out there. I know it may get lost in all the junk we have to deal with in our daily lives, but really, the point of life is to be Happy. To be in that pursuit of happiness. And right now, I’m not sure if I’m doing just that. Every day is so precious, so why am I bored? and why am I feeling so unfulfilled? I wish I could just get up and go. But being bound by so many commitments and life just makes that impossible. *sigh* One day guys… One day I will do it.

Serendipity & Synchronicity

First off, I know I havent been on tumblr in weeks, with college coming to a close for the year and finals and all, Ive been quite busy. But, I thought that in the midst of exams I would take the time out to discuss something that has been so prevalent in my life lately. That is Serendipity and Synchronicity. You may be asking, what do those two words mean? Serendipity means, The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. And Synchronicity means,  The simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. And what I would like to say is how they are so important in life.

Serendipity… just let that float around in your mind for a little bit. Lately, I have encountered numerous serendipitous events, and they are some of the most wonderful surprises everyday. Whether it be something as simple as running into someone you were just thinking about or something happened that you had wished for. All of these things are serendipitous. I think, most of this for me is occurring because I have learned to stop expecting so much and letting things happen on their own, whereas im not getting too attached to ideas, Instead, I just let them happen. And by looking at life this way, so many things are serendipitous. The value that is holds is simple; it is a wonderful surprise. And the more serendipity you come across, the more happier and joyful you are. 

This goes hand in hand with Synchronicity. Have you ever been thinking something or had a conversation with someone about something, and then it actually ends up happening!? and you’re just like WOAH! I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT! Yeah? Well thats Synchronicity. I like to think about it in terms of everything being interconnected and responsive. It like the saying, “If you put it out there it will come back to you”. This is synchronicity. You may think of it as some voodoo magic, or just the universes’ way of working. Whatever you choose to believe, like serendipity, it is a wonderful surprise every time it happens. 

I can say, my life has been so much better with these two things. And I welcome you to be open to the ideas and just let it happen :)

Have a wonderful day!

Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me and you have perfect timing. Sorry for the late response, haven’t been on tumblr in a while :P.

Im tired of being used by these so called “friends”

Only when they are sad or down do they need your sympathy, and when they are fine again they are out there not giving a fuck about what you sacrificed for them. I NEED NEW FRIENDS, NOW. So mad. 

8PM

I NEED to get out of here NOW. I wish I had a car right now.
