So Apropos
Saw death on a sunny snowFor every life, forego the parable. Seek the light, my knees are cold. (Running home, running home) Go find another lover; To bring and- to string along. With all your lies, you're still very lovable. I toured the light, so many foreign roads For Emma, forever ago. |

Suck it.
Holidays are coming to an end, and with it, an end to a long period of self- reflection. As a sentimental type, I would be more inclined than most to want to look back on my actions and associations, and with such a move, I would no doubt engage in certain changes that result from experiences, that led to thoughts, that later crystalized itself into beliefs.The first thing I learnt is that people who form first impressions of others without truly engaging the other free of preconceptions is not worthy of being in company. This may seem harsh, but it is a flaw that too many share, and as most characterial flaws are contagious, keeping company of such people would only limit your abilities to experience life to it's fullest. Being narrow-minded and near-sighted is easy enough when constrained to an environment as limiting as a small island, but punishing yourself further by limiting your thoughts with judgement and conceit only makes the world you live in smaller and the world outside more bitter and uninviting than it actually is. I would not claim to be free of such prejudices, but I aim to nip this problem at the bud, and save myself when I can. And ridding myself of people who would influence me otherwise is a step I plan to take. Second thing I've learnt is that with family comes certain obligations. Whether powered by love or guilt, the ties that blood bind us to are tough and unrelenting. However, it is important not to let these ties get in the way of personal growth and freedom. This is because family ties are wonderful things, if and only if, your family acts on love. It is, of course, not always the case. Therefore, you are responsible for your own personal growth, and to blame others for your flaws created through familial issues, such as an absent parent or a home riddled with disputes, is like blaming the weather for your illnesses. Take some vitamins, and suck it. I do not claim to be politically correct, nor do I claim to have the best antidotes to the poisons. All I do is done from my own thoughts and learnt from my own problems. Independence is something I would not try to change for the world. Yet, support is something I'm most grateful for. The most important thing I've learnt, therefore, is that the two can coexist. And I'm very glad for it. Very. |
