3 words, 8 letters, say it and i'm yours.
i wish it was all so simple.
i've a rare talent for making everything so complicated ;)
but still morals and baselines are there for a reason.
if i loosen my baseline for you, what is there left ?
and i'm also telling myself and telling you that i'm not taking you seriously
--------------------
if you dun stand for something, you'll fall for everything
Spending my life walking away from People who matters and who cares for me
11:27 AM
What if he/she was meant to be , or could have been someone important in my life ? I think that's what scares me ; the randomness of everything. That the people who could be important to you might just pass you by. Or you pass them by. How do you know ... I felt that by walking away i was abandoning them , that i spent my entire life, day after day, abandoning people .

In our late modern society, there is no guarantee of who you are anymore. what's left to us is a fragmented identity of sorts that we desperately try to piece together so that it makes sense to us.
Many professionals and richly influential and successful people spend millions of dollars on a burgeoning self help industry consisting of books and psychiatrists, all preoccupied with one burning question : Who am I.
In the traditional society where agriculture takes centre-stage, the social role was king in the modern society , the personal role wins all and in this late modern society we are in, nothing is constant anymore.
gender, identity, and even sex can now be easily changed on a whim we have increasingly expanded our control over these social aspects through usage of virtual realities and social networks.
virtual marriages, choices to cohabit before marriage and not marrying or even having children at all is the norm now.
no body knows who they are anymore, because they can be anybody and everybody
. so who are you ?
and what makes you so sure that who you are ( assuming you know ) is not carefully constructed by the society and the people around you ?
you think you are beautiful, is it because others pay attention to you and ask you out ?
you think you are smart, is it because others ask you for opinions and consult you when they have problems with studies or conflicts at work ?
there's no point asking yourself who you are anymore because its not relevant instead of being preoccupied with that question, and while knowing that nothing that you have ever chosen or known has been of free choice, we should just be positive and make the most of the life that God has given us.
does it really matter who we are EXACTLY ?
There are many "us", adventurous, happy, sad, angsty, mad, smart, clever, lazy , witty, pretty, crazy... student, clubber, dancer, friend, boyfriend, confidante, the bitch, the gossiper...the list goes on and on .
we are an ammaglamation of others, carefully honed to uniqueness through personal traits and quirks, we are humans, we are the society, or to say, the society reflects itself through us and that is all .

I seriously look very tired.
my skin is so worn and bad
been thinking about too many things this few days
maybe its time to make a break from everything and have a fresh start
things are starting to get a little messed up too
i need a clear concise mind. the exam revision workshops starts tmr.
i'll just have fun and stop thinking about everything
it has been a really quiet birthday for me , with the whole of morning and afternoon taken up by reflections, teaching tuition and studying of econs.
only after 6 pm did things shake up a bit.
what with meeting tim at JP
and den supper with family and aunt at Al Amin
Thank you for the well wishes everyone :)
while studying econs
nerve plant outside tutee's home
snacking on fruits in the wee morning hours
a broken abandoned bicycle below the block
At new york new york in JP
Juicy breaded white button mushrooms
clam chowder
-----------------------
After Al Amin :
ice-cream for desserts!
surprised balloon from sister on my desk when i reached home :)
i got my surprised balloon after all thank you so so so so much ! it means so much to me :)
