Hi fellow humans!
Hmmm... I read the most interesting quote a few days ago. I don't remember who it's by, or if it's from a book, but it's stuck in my head and makes total sense from all angles...
It goes-
" You can have anything you want in life, just as long as you give up everything else. "
I have reflected on my life quite deeply after reading this, and I fully agree. All is within reach. All is possible. You can have that one thing you want most, but forget about all other things. It's like a thin line being drawn in my head. One that defines two parallels- One is Wisdom, and the other is Madness. And have we all not at one point chosen one above the other?
Reflect, please.

Why Jane Bravo?

- One dark and boring night in 2005, sitting alone thinking about life and how weird it is, Sarah Dawood/ Drama wrote her first blogpost as Jane Bravo. What started out as a private ranting space, slowly and gradually evolved into the current blog, which talks about many events, things, and feelings. Just like all of Sarah's other social media platforms, also about many events, things, and feelings --- Instagram: thesarahdawood | snapchat: thesarahdawood | twitter: @SarahDawood | facebook: /groups/TheCoddiwomple

Learning to Love
Hello,
Its been a while since I last typed anything here... I did have a lot to say, but life has become so busy and complicated that I really never got the chance. Its mid-October 2006... another two months and the next year will begin. Sigh! This year literally flew by. I've learnt many things these past few months, but the most important lesson I recently learnt is that one must learn to love oneself above all. That is the only way one can be truly happy throughout life.
Sounds quite self-centred and selfish, but it is really true!
Try it ;)
Keep loving, and learning always!

The Worst Teacher
I happened to read my horoscope a few days ago, and it said- "This year will be the hardest year of your entire life"! Well, not that I'm a firm believer in the Zodiac, but things have been quite testing lately, and life does seem to be getting more and more challenging with each new dawn! Yes, fate had a bit to do with the whole scenario, but mostly it was the choices I made in the last few months.
Ah, yes... choices... How do you know if your choices are good ones, right ones? Or what the outcomes of your choices will be? I believe that is the biggest challenge of life itself- the choices you have to make and then live with.
As a wise man once said, "Experience is the worst teacher; It gives the lesson after the test."
How true.

Erase and Rewind...?
I read the most interesting quote today by some guy called Robert Quillen. It goes:
"Character is defined by what you stand for. Reputation by what you fall for."
Is that true, or what?!
Throughout our lives after the age of thirteen, I guess, we evolve on a daily basis into whom we are to the world, to the people who know us or know of us. Our outlooks, perceptions, ideas, likes, dislikes, all become defined with the passage of time depending on our absorbtion and interaction with our world. How true then to say that our characters are defined by what we stand for and believe in, while at the same time our reputations develop with our falls and poor choices in life.
Be strong always,

2006... here i come!
Hello people!!!
Gosh... i've totally neglected my blog, haven't I?!
The truth be told, wrapping up 2005 was a hard and tedious process.
Life took me through many twists and turns, and there were moments when i feared the worst, and prayed for the best outcomes... but all's well that ends well, right?
Well, 2006 is here with a BANG! and although there were tons of 'downs' that were down in the dumps... I noticed that the few 'ups' that I found along the way were beautifully invigorating and rejuvenating. There were simple moments, small things which made me feel so lucky to be alive and well.
And this is my message to you today: Enjoy life as it comes.
It's never going to be perfect, so why burn your blood trying to make it perfect?!
