Life is like a garden.

Quite naturally, leaves wither and flowers fade. Only if we clear the decay of the past then and there can we really enjoy the beauty of the new leaves and flowers. Likewise, we must clear the murkiness of the past bad experiences from our minds. Life is remembrance in forgetfulness. Forgive what ought to be forgiven; forget what ought to be forgotten. Let us embrace life with renewed vigor. We should be able to face every moment of life with renewed expectation, like a freshly blossomed flower.

Thailand’s White Temple, Wat Rong Khun (วัดร่องขุ่น)

Located near the city of Chiang Rai, Wat Rong Khun (วัดร่องขุ่น)—known outside Thailand as the “White Temple”—stands as an unusual and beautiful mix of traditional Thai architecture and modern-day science fiction memorabilia. It was designed by painter-turned-architect Chalermchai Kositpipat, one of Thailand’s most renowned architects, who set out to create one of the most elegant temples in Chiang Rai.

The temple’s white color symbolizes purity; its glittering glass signifies the teachings of the Buddah; and the moat filled with outreaching arms represents desire. Detailed sculptures of skulls, demons and severed heads are also scattered around the premises. Perhaps most interestingly, a mural inside with images of Batman, Superman, and even the alien from Predator tell a modern-day story of Buddha.

Construction on Wat Rong Khun began in 1996 and is expected to finish in 2070, long after Kositpipat has passed. Plans include nine buildings built on an area of about 3 acres, and though it is a work in progress, the temple attracts an increasingly large number of visitors every year—many of whom share their visit to the temple on Instagram.

It’s said it takes seven years

To think, this year I will grow
into a body you never will

Gone

missfossey:

One minute you’re right,
One minute you’re wrong.
The thing I can’t get over
Is the ego trip you’re on.
Time wasted,
Time spent.
You had your chance,
This ship came,
And it went.



Ugh

When my drunk mother asks three times what I’m doing in the kitchen. “Making tea” actually means avoiding you.

I finally saw The Place Beyond The Pines last night. This movie was so much more than I could ever have expected. Derek Cianfrance
created a beautiful piece of art which totally kicked hollywoods cliche movie stereotype right in the balls. A movie has never captivated so much before, and…

I ugly cried majority of it too. :’(
