I figured having a spot for me to write out my thoughts would be effective. After all, writing had always been the essence for everything in my life. The power of written words have opened windows and lifted boulders from my life countless times.
Might actually aspire becoming an author - i really, really love writing. It's like euphoria surging through your veins: the words, phrases, emotions and vivid images that drive your pen to paint a picture.
Like all students in Singapore, I'm suffering. I wouldn't say the education system here is bad. It's actually good. And because of that very reason, it is horrendously competitive. Too much good stuff kills. Too much competition kills. Your grades basically decide your future.
"The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:" - Friar Lawrence (Romeo & Juliet, Act 2 Scene 6)
Yes, I really love philosophy. The idea of apprehending the wisdom, ideas and arguments of the ancients. Using my head to analyze and think. Am i weird? It's not easy to explain this innate emotion. Interest, yes that's what they call it. Ancestral wisdom had always piqued me more than any other modern formulas or knowledge. Perhaps i was a barbarian watching and mapping out the constellations in my past life.
I believe we all have 2 sides in our lives. The side we want to show the world and the side we only show to ourselves - The act of reflection.
The act of being judgemental - Comically Ironic. And i won't lie, I do it a a lot.
