Life Sucks Sometimes, But I Still Want It

-

 Life is suffering, it’s undeniable. But life is also a blessing. I know I love being alive more than being dead. When something bad happens, and life seems too difficult to carry on, we might say ‘we want to die’ but it’s not true. We want to live, we just want life where that ‘thing’ doesn’t happen or perhaps someone else’s life which really is just our imagination. We are not rejecting life, we just want a different one that is a little less sad.


Is death part of life or the end of it? Do we cross over to a new adventure? I hope afterlife exists and it’s a sequal of life. I can’t imagine being ‘nothing’ when there’s so many ‘somethings’ here that I cannot love anymore. Even if there is an afterlife, I want to be here, not there. It’s not what I want but must go to and as a free-spirited person, I object to this coercion by God.


It appears that I can do nothing and I don’t want to waste my time being sad over something I cannot control. I can control what I do with my life and so do you. So, appreciate it.


I’ve always loved this quote by J.K Rowling;


“And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life.”

It makes Death a little less sad, a little more friendly. I guess we can only do that if we’ve lived and are happy with what we’ve done with our lives. Let’s make sure each of us do that, because really, we’re just walking each other there.

I love to carve my mind into words, to trace my heart on paper. Here, to type as my voice sings inside my head. Embarking on an adventure of self acceptance, self love, self improvement and soul searching. I wish to share it, the ups and downs. Perhaps I could inspire someone to finally start their overdue pilgrimage, or to be a friend to someone who is on the same hike. Expect personal stories, lessons learned, controversial opinions, fanfictions, honest reviews and emotional rants. You can call me Tortoise!

Monologue: Rambling about Hobbies and Adventures

-
Image
(weheartit.com) (The Hobbit) I like quiet solitude. The nights I'm alone, locked in my room, reading or solving puzzles. I have more hobbies than reasonable to have and a ferocious appetite to find more games or interesting skills to learn. It is an innate sense of mine to be Jack of all lanterns but master of none.  I desire to be a polymath, everything intrigues me, but I'm perfectly aware that I do not have the patience nor the talent to be highly skilled or excel in anything which distinguishes myself from the mundane. I imagine myself a butterfly, fluttering around every vibrant flowers, yet never stay too long or too short on any. I understand that despite the sky being the limit to available options, I am bound by my own wings and mortality. There is no use being unrealistic but revert to stoic acceptance that I can salvage what I can, and ignore what I can't. Having spent ample amount of time on self-reflection, I have come to the realisation that I'm like a Hob...

Movie Review: Marriage Story

(Pinterest) A love story about divorce. Some scenes were very hard for me to watch or understand. I wanted to yell and judge both of them but the single and self-consciously naive me would shush me. The divorce in this movie is certainly complex, or are all divorces this way? I thought it was just a final showdown for two people who hate each other leaving a mess for the children. I did not expect divorce could be a narrative of romance. Charlie and Nicole clearly love each other very much. I really do blame the lawyers. I really hated the lawyers. They keep pushing them to hate each other and assume the worst of the other. They 'advise' them to make deadly strikes when they say they don't want to. I hated Nicole at some point. Why does she have to get a lawyer? They decided to end their marriage without one and nothing changed that such a need arose. The court room scene was the hardest thing for me to watch. They clearly feel embarassed and guilty to put each other throug...

Dreaming About My Future Life

-
I find my mind drifting to the future recently. Imagining the days I would have, the life that I wish I would lead. It's so fun decorating the house I have in my mind. It's like playing sims social or cafe story (My knowledge of games is limited). I would probably still stay here in my little town. I love my little town. The other place I might consider moving to is Ipoh, no explainable reasons. Maybe it's the rumours of good food or the excellent people I know who come from Ipoh. I actually love the current house I'm staying. My room is the best place in the world. But if my parents want to sell it and move back to their hometown, and my sisters are married, I'd want a small little apartment. Like those in F.R.I.E.N.D.S but I think that would be difficult or impossible to find here. It's not going to be minimalistic. Decorations would be everywhere, souvenirs and gifts from loved ones or places I've travelled to, all displayed in the living room. There woul...
