Crying shame

The real me  

You tell me that I'm just not the one for you
You say I hold on too tight
So I'm just moving out
While you come clean and say it to my face
That I'm just so insignificant

Can't exactly remember why or when I wrote that, but I grew to fall in love with it after the first jam. Hurhurhur, and it has progressed from that to ones like 'That Beautiful Girl' or 'Break Up'.

All of them are but mere representations or reflections of the time period, context, conflict...

...and the real deal? That lies in reality itself, which is for us to embrace and brave through. If you live through, then give yourself a golden star. If you fall, just get back up. Our days on earth are but ephemeral, so there really is nothing to worry about (except that the more obnoxious ones would like to plan how they leave the planet).

----------

Yesterday: suicide with vectors, ran unnecessary errands, relived memories at Borders, met a skinny lil' friend, killed my feet, gained twenty pounds (), lost my mind, lost control.

I almost forgot: greetings to you. Feel free to make whatever assumptions and inferences that you want. I will do my best to avoid shooting you again. Thanks for yesterday, anyway. You're the best!

Reasons

LOMO (38)

There is meant to be a time and season for everything. Other people also agree that everything has a reason.

First, he was the reason. And every consequent explanation turned out wrong. He left, then she became the other reason. I can't even count the number of times that her name was the basis of all action and thought.

Looking back is such a cheesy thing to do, but something that all of us find ourselves caught up with. Remembering the past could be a good or bad thing; nonetheless, it's a common hobby. And when you do, it may just bring laughter or tears. The mistake doesn't just lie in what you did, but what you did not do.

After the arduous journey of finding the right purpose, it has ended: Christ is the reason.

"Don't learn the hard way while the easy path is still there."

"You upgraded to a smiley face!"

When things seem too slow-moving, we wish it could speed up. But once we're on the fast lane, we realise that maybe it would have been best to just put up with the slight lack of an adrenalin rush. Sadly, we can hardly be contented. All we can strive for is perfection, with the hope that there is something lying out of our peripherals and sight which will give us full satisfaction. Our selfish human nature really only brings about destruction, doesn't it?

Maybe it was a wrong decision. Maybe we should have kept silent and let the suspense hang in the air for a while longer. Maybe this will be the 'same old' all over again. (And yeap, 'same old' was not a good thing) In the long run, how will everything hold up? And as said before, the present is valuable as it is. The future, in some sense, is an array of possibilities to explore. But it does not restrict our contentment with what sits our palms now.

These are one of those days where you want to hide under the covers and bury yourself. Though there was a passage in Psalms that lifted me a lil'.

I should've seen it coming
I should've read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

'Ve been such a pig these days. All I ever want to do is sleep, hang out, then sleep again, eat a bit, take another nap. Gosh, if this routine is not snapped out of, the term 4 is going to be rather interesting...perhaps in a way that is not entirely to my advantage. *Yawns* I AM SLEEPYYYY.

'Love You Madly'

Been on some high-sugar rampage with the Leo's these few days. It isn't something to be proud of, but definitely something to smile at Hurhurhur, the lemon cheesecake from Cakes Delight was a sweet surprise from the girls. And Kings Street Cafe is awesome stuff. The cakes are almost-literally to die for! Chelsea Leo's good when it comes to the high-end eateries. Next slice is on me, hey? I wanna try the cheesecake!!!

----------

It's difficult when you want to say something and the thoughts are just so clear in your head, but the words cannot form their proper sentences. And in self-contradiction, that is not exactly helping the situation either. Heck, anyway. Let go of what has happened and just move on; everything is for the same purpose, for the same Person.

So many unexpected things have been thrown to and fro this week. Pffffffft, but there's always the choice to look at brighter things in life. Plus, it's the holidays and I simply cannot wait for that special weekend

One less thing

Someone said something to me yesterday afternoon. My heart stopped for a split second.

There are times when you are so eager to know everything at once, because the truth is simply alluring. In fact, it always is, but something else holds us back from knowing because we may fear the hurt that it brings. Maybe we should learn to hold back at times. Going all out is applicable to circumstances, but not all. Selective is key.

I wonder: what if I had never asked? What if I kept silent? What if remained ignorant/oblivious?

But "what if" is never the point. What has is the past, what is is the present, what will is the future. Sounds simple, isn't it? As a matter of fact, it is. Humans just decide to make everything more complicated because life seems too dull without the humps and bumps. Pffffffft, and people complain about traffic jams

(Hold up, that didn't make sense, did it?)

Even certain things about myself have started to change. For better or for worse? Not a clue, to be honest. But hey, we all have priorities and choices. At the end of the day, it's all up to us.

----------

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you
This song is meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to

I should have seen it coming and I should have read the signs. To think that this was never even planned...
