International, and even regional governments, are not meaningful substitutes for strong national governments. Their primary goal should be to facilitate agreements, especially in transboundary issues (environmental, trade, immigration etc) and not governance.

Only with strong national governments will the rhetoric properly shift from infringements of sovereignty, to pooling of sovereignty.

I am very hopeful. As I always have been.

PRINCESS!!

Princess loves cuddles. 

I miss writing and singing and playing music.

I need to re-calibrate myself.

If the Meatloaf test is the criteria to meet, what is the remedy for a breach?

1.5 hours in public transport. I really need to move to Singapore. Fuck this shit.

I feel as if I cannot help it, that my future is rushing in toward me. In a funny way, I feel as if I had a hand in all of it, and yet, I didn't.

I shouldn't be in defensive mode, so I shouldn't need to react.

Especially if it's to the past. 

Little victories along the way. That's what I need to keep going!

In Context

Life, as it is and as it is supposed to be.

I have been so busy guarding myself against what I should not be, that I forgot to explore what I already was. :)
