The Pencil & The Eraser

PENCIL

I'm sorry

ERASER

For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

PENCIL

I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

ERASER

That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

  I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

 This is to all the parents out there.

Venue Hunting

Went venue hunting with my brother and fiancee

I love looking at wedding venues, because I can always imagine a wedding taking place at most of them.

I am a Gemini, so I have a multi faceted personality & therefore I like a lot of different styles

This is why I would like to plan other people's weddings.

I just saw a vintage wedding on a photography blog and now that is 1 more thing I want to do.

We saw a gorgeous venue that screams old school charm. The rooms are in an old house with huge fireplaces and wooden floors.

 But, like a wedding dress, the venue speaks to you and our next venue on the list was The One

Set in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind, this beautiful setting is truly an Oasis.

With a range of outside locations to pick from or a gorgeous chapel overlooking the mountains, to the substantial, well-tended gardens - this place is truly a perfect venue.

The bridal suite is understated elegance with a claw bath beside a wall of mirrors and a little room complete with wash basin and hairdryer for the hairstylist.

I am so excited to see this wedding, and to top off the fun day - I was asked to be her bridesmaid!
