it was a jolt of reality
that i need to get myself sorted.
where will this go?
but the question which seems more important now is;
"when will this go?"
i'm too much of a coward to let things go.
not yet.
i guess you could call it idealism.
as in all work,
we need a timeline
and a deadline.
we're just procrastinating.
and really,
we're all not getting any younger.

guess I never recognised it as much as I do now,
my appreciation for people who actually want to listen,
ask questions
and show genuine interest to hear what you have to say.
and, if I think about it,
this was probably why I used to share my thoughts
very regularly on this journal.
I guess because it provided a venue to
release my thoughts, and what I want to share...
in the hopes that maybe someone would care about
what I have to say.
And in retrospect, I am even made even more aware
of what I used to take for granted.
Perhaps this is partially why introverts have strong friendships;
Because they genuinely care to know more about the other.

How do I explain this feeling?
It's like you have a little piece of me inside.

Values.
It's one of those words sometimes overly used that
the meaning is diminished.
We had a discussion on values.
And some things happened (independent from the discussion).
I never quite realised how strongly I hold on to my values
And how things that happen or what people do would turn
Me off utterly.
Values are important because that forms the core
Of your being and guides your conduct in life.
And, it becomes the basis of which you make judgements about others,
Objectively or otherwise.
But what I do know
Is that I am unable to suck it up and compromise my values.

You can't always control the way you feel
But as the saying goes...
"This, too, will come to pass."
And it eventually will.

you take the risk and open yourself to feeling.
but that is exactly it, isn't it?
it is a risk you take,
you stand to lose...
and even the thought makes my heart break a little.
i guess, right now,
neither of us knows.
but, eventually,
we must all learn how to let go.

This is not the person I am.
This is not the person I want to be.
The question is;
What am I going to do about it?

think about getting married and starting a family?
nice but not an option in the near future...
not when the cost of living is increasing faster
than overall wage rates,
compounded by the responsibility of caring for aging parents.
oh.
and don't forget the education loan still being paid off slowly.
marriage?
children?
family?
it is not a question of affording it,
but whether I can even afford to think about it.
something...
has just got to give.
like seeking opportunities abroad where
income levels are higher,
and cost of living lower.
perhaps?
or marry into money.

caring for another is not an objective,
calculated exercise.
caring for another comes from the heart and
it is not an obligation.

I am not that person.
I want to do something with my life.
I want to be something more.
|
|
| oh |
[24 Apr 2011|07:08pm] |
it would be..
a pleasant surprise.
