Speaking of and for others
Saturday, September 29th, 2007One of the suckiest things in life is when you will have no choice but to give up on your dreams. Once the dreams seemed so sweet and achievable but all of the sudden, there is a twist of fate and you are faced with no other option but the relinquishment of such dreams.
Whether it was basketball or relationship, my soul was only amputated when I had to give up.
One of the other suckiest things in life is that when you break up with someone, you break up with the entire pack of people. Then, sometimes when you meet your exes, you just pretend like there is nothing but as a matter of fact, there is awkwardness or mild abomination.
As we grow, our minds have turned like leeches. As far as I am concerned, any sadness or memory did not cling onto me when I was a child. As our minds develope, our memory advances. We can capture details or feelings. Then, new phases of life are presented to us as every second ticks but our minds do not register new input but rather dwell on one that is heart wrenching or exasperating.
I need more training. There is a need for a constant rethinking of my life. As we learn, we tend to put old things into new perspectives. We bring new interpretations to what has had happened. But in actual fact, all that is unnecessary for the past is the past.
We want to detach from the past so badly sometimes but it is impossible as the past makes who we are today. But we cannot start anew unless we have an amnesia. We constantly compare now with the past and make necessary amendments so that we could never be who we were. Usually, a system overhaul helps us escape from the grasp of the haunting past. That is why some people have turned gay. They are in denial of the past during which they liked women. Women would be a subject which they would deny for the rest of their lives.
That also explains why a loyal and innocent boy could turn into a playboy. Not everyone is born a playboy. Some people have turned into beasts because of a sad tale behind. Hitch clearly depicts how a geek has turned into a dating expert. I was so going to fully transform into a pick up artist when I have met mi’armour. I am going to give myself another chance to love and be loved.
What we have now is a reconciliation of what that did not work out. As long as we are alive, things will fall into place. Why did I have to meet her and go through shit if I knew that things would end in bad terms? Can I not meet my mi’armour for the very first time? Why did I have to get hurt and break hearts to be where I am today?
If only time travel is made possible so that I could be whisked in any juncture where alteration is necessary. ‘Back to the future’ series is one of my favourite fantasies and I wish to travel in time to fix any imperfection. But time is linear. It moves forward although some of us are cursed to look backward. It is cruel.
Sometimes, I see movie makers as failures because they can only bring fiction into reality through movies, however inspiring they are. I can always achieve closure that I cannot achieve in reality through writing. I can always weave strings of ground breaking ideas and produce a new culture. But how can I invent a time machine?
In my pathetic life, only a few fantasies came true. I have become a prom king on several occassions, setting a record that nobody could defeat. I call myself the King of balls as I have stolen shows and risen to the pinnacle out of mundaneness and passivity in class.
My horoscope keychain says that I am "an individual who regularly achieves his goals". Can the picture of fiction and picture of reality be synchronized? Is the precise picture of reality out of reach? Actually, it is boring to materialize the exact picture of fantasy. I prefer to be caught off guard and surprised.
I love things when they are natural. Scheming, however, can be fun too. I think I should sign up for military training. Sometimes, I wonder my investments are even worth. For example, investing my time and energy in what I have been doing such as blogging. We all want immediate results and visible outcomes but most of the time, nothing can be predicted. I did not even know that I would stumble onto such part time job in Zouk through modelling and emceeing.
There are controversies and adversaries and I only wish to enjoy every moment and thing I do. "Carpe Diem", they say but it is always tough to carry out what we have set out to do. All the best to myself!
