T.I.M.E
Don't know 'bout you, but the thing I look forward to each day is the little alone time I have with myself - spent reflecting on each and every single part of my life. Haven't had that for a while now, probably because the definition of 'each day' changed. The thing about uni, or architecture school to be more specific, is that we spend too much time on work and isolate ourselves too far from the other parts of life, seriously.
The studio's like a prison cell, the only thing you'll remember is the last time you took the cab, and the next moment, you're stuck here. It's like a magical land, you check in and you forget you're a human. You forget you need to sleep, eat, pee, poo, drink, talk or even breathe. All you can think of are columns, beams, concept and ideas. It's scary, scary to forget the day and time because the next time you check, you've already spent 3 days 2 nights working non-stop. Suddenly, you're no longer in control of your own time, you can hardly remember how every second was spent, or decide whether you wasted a day because technically, you were being productive (by working). But then again, you were not entitled to the full human rights to 'enjoy' the time ( I'mma hippybitch, I believe in enjoying life, not surviving it) ...so...I have no freaking idea what I'm talking about but y'know, I'm just saying...we need to grab hold of our own life/time. haha.
Ten years down the road, when I look back at this (hello, future me.), I hope I'll be laughing and saying: 'aww..those were the silly days..I've learnt to manage my time well and live life to the fullest now'. Okay, I'm friggin' tired, haven't slept in a while. Just wanted to post something to remind myself to GRAB HOLD O'YAL own life. :)
P.S: Within the span of 2 months, I've encountered 5 deaths..and suddenly, my perception of 'life' changed..
Time to pause and reorganise myself.
But anyway,
May all of y'all rest in peace and have a sweet time in heaven :)
It's the bitterness that makes it sweet(?)
