They say those around will always be a better judge for your character than yourself. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps not.
I wonder how ppl see me. I could never really describe myself in words. I never did totally understand myself. Most days when I describe myself, those words would only be a sketch of me in a moment of time.
I like to help ppl but I never thought of myself as self-less. There are times deep down I am waiting for a "thank you" or some sort of appreciation. Who am I?
I used to say lame joke all the time but that is not me. Friends who know me well would realize that I can be rather serious at times. Who am I?
I help others but in fact I am the one in need.
I always think that I am helpless if not hopeless. I did not totally quit ****ing. I could not bring myself to do it. I am over a quarter century old. Peers are getting married, child bearing, graduating with post grad degrees etc. Here I am.
I need time alone. Lots of time alone but yet I love company. I wish for company but yet more than often I never take the initiative to keep in touch with my friends. Losing touch. Why am I doing this?
I have always wanted group that will stick with me till end of days but I have always been elusive. "see how la..." "long story" "..." some of my most frequent phrases.
I always wanted some sense of achievement... that I can be recognized by society's standards. I am fully aware of the effort required of me but I lack the consistency, patience and drive. Where do I stand?
I want to come across as a pleasant person yet I can never stop myself from being critical of others (sometimes). I need more "goodness". I need a longer fuse too.
I can be optimistic at times. I might be objective in certain moments. Yet, there are moments when I am in self denial. "having unique character" "standing out from the slaves of societal perspectives" some of the many excuses. wait... maybe they are not excuses. still... I never really did get myself to break free from social practices. I still seek for social acceptance.
*bleah bleah* (random blabber continues)
So many things about me that I am unsure. I continue writing forever. When I re-read this post I might think that certain sentences does not reflect my identify. One things is certain though. I am past oriented.
I finally found the first phrase that describes me. past oriented.
Do you have words or phrases that will accurately define you? be very honest to yourself. I have always admired people who can really say who they are, what they like etc.
Bro, you're not past oriented la. ur just overly harsh on yourself. you want to be superman and hope others see u as superman too. but as life turns out, even superman has his off days.
ReplyDeletelife isn't abt having children, getting a postgrad, starting a business and entering the corporate rat race. it's abt making a difference to those who has had the pleasure of having you as a friend. so heads up and continue to make a difference yes?
i felt i could reply to this post in greater depth, but I would dangle that as a carrot for me to get your ass down to singapore to meet up with me before i share with u my thoughts. SO YES, better come over soon!
