dreams...

origami birds...

yes there are alot and no i didn't make 1000...
i made 888 instead...

i know that by tradition making 1000 is meant for luck but i like the number 8 because if you turn it on its side it makes the symbol that represents infinity... so three 8's to me is a sign that whatever happens from now on past, present, future...they will all be intertwinned as one because i can't let the past govern my future. but i can't forget wot has happened so that i don't make the same mistakes twice in the present and i can't look to far ahead in my planning regime because living for now can bring unexpected delights...

you could say thati must have been through alot to write a statement like that but the truth is i haven't lived as much as everyone...

i still have alot of growing up to do and i know that getting hurt and seing things that i don't want to see or go through will be part of that...even if i don't like it it helps to build character and at the same time taking opportunities also increases my chances in finding happy memories along the way too... sentimental treasures that are much much more highly valued than material acquisitions... (well in most instances... don't get me wrong i would rather have something to eat than have the memory of starvation but if i had to give up my food for another then i would want the memory of sacrifice... yes i know its a bit bizzare and yes i realise that i will contradict myself in life because lets face it... i am no saint or angel... i am just human so selfishness can sometimes consume me...............(especially when it comes to sharing my bananas) ...

and if you are still wondering about the cranes... i probably have made over a thousand by now because i give them away as presents or to ppl as good luck charms... and you don't have to worry about me wasting paper too because i usually make it out of those annoying leaflets that come in the post... its called constructive recycling of paper... hahahahaha

and why do i make them???
hmmmmmm many many reasons...
usually when i talk to ppl i make them afterwards as a way of encapsulating their dreams and wishes...
to me dreams remind me of birds...
in the beginning they are incased in a fragile shell so that they may or may not emerge but when they do, they are weak and vulnerable and so need support and encouragement by the loved ones around them...
hopefully over time with the dedication to stay alive and the determination to be independent with the ability to help themselves, they will one day take flight of their own to begin their own journey of discovering wot could happen to them...

because dreams are made of stuff and stuffs are made from dreams....................( am such a cliched person and i would really like mr sandmans job................retire will you)
(No... mr sandman is real so don't destroy my fantasy)
