It’s 15 Feb and it means V Day’s over. What’s more, it marks the end of the long long holiday season of Christmas, new year and CNY. One of my mottos (posted in social medias) is “Hate festivals”. In no way does it mean I don’t enjoy spending time with my loved ones. But it’s nice to see people become rational again, rather then spoiling themselves in the festive atmosphere which results in low productivity at best and often inconvenience to others.

Speaking of online mottos, what are my other mottos? I remember there’re a few. The current one is “Coffee, food, photography, and a bit of dentistry”. That one speaks for itself, but if you find it difficult to comprehend, I have talked about it before.

One other motto was “If you are going through hell, keep going.” It turns out I’m in living hell more often than I thought. Some of those hellish scenarios are self-created. For example, I may subject myself to challenges like exams, or I may want to help a kid or an elderly ending up starting a treatment I hate. I’m glad in the past I just rose to the occasion when facing adversities. Sadly, I still cannot convince myself I will overcome every new challenge.

Perhaps it’s time to adopt a new motto?
