recess week
The recess week is here. It's a time for me and a few others to catch our breath in our study races and probably to recoup on the times wasted elsewhere.
It was nice meeting up with the Brotherhood after so long. It relieves me that despite our individual differences, we are still bonded by the good old memories. Then again, having different viewpoints and opinions just provides more colour to our lives. And it's never more relieving to know that, at least when the sky falls, you know that these bunch of idiots will be there to stick it through with you.
Tomorrow's basketball session with S3A is cancelled, sadly.
I wouldn't deny that I have changed. Back in one of my Social Psychology lecture, we did a survey and I came out being rated as unrealistically optimistic. I think the result describes me aptly. However, as some might know, recent turn of events are not very positive and I believe skepticism is proliferating within me. Not that being skeptical is bad, cause it kind of protects me from a lot of delusions. I am turning darker day by day, but that doesn't mean I will ignore my principles. I think and I hope, that this is just a form of self-defence, one to will protect me, so that I can protect others.
In our lives, most opportunities only arrive once. And when they do, people often miss grabbing hold of these opportunities. We hesitate, we question our beliefs and principles, we have doubts over the benefits, we compare extensively with other opportunity costs. More often than not, thinking too much makes me end up with nothing. Maybe just maybe, our minds aren't created for such purposes. Being overly pragmatic and seeking purpose in everything we do are simply too tiring. Sometimes, instincts help.
By doing a reality check, for now, I will tell you I am satisfied. I have what I want in my life now, or at least I am on course to achieving them. I have my family, despite the generation gap, the love and concern stretches beyond imaginable standards. I have friends, not a lot though, but they are the ones that came so far with me. I have Carmen, someone whom I will give up everything for.
I am determined to make this work. With my family, my friends, and importantly, with you.
Yes I must.
