(no subject)
Was doing a little thinking a while back, just some basic reflections on how good ol' Life has been treating me and such mental endeavours when it dawned on me that for the longest time, I've been standing on the sidelines being the biggest critic of myself. Seen one of those football managers pacing the bylines nervously, waiting to release a barrage of profanities when a player makes a mistake on the pitch? That's what I'm talking about. I mean there are some people who just love themselves to bits, faults or no faults, whilst there are others out there, such as yours truly, who goes about being all cynical about the talents (I believe everyone is talented in a certain niche ironically) bequeathed to them and never wanting to be indulgent in them. Not really sure why this is so, maybe the encouragement wasn't there back in my childhood or something, but I think maybe, just maybe, I wanna climb out of my shell a little more and be myself, the way someone up there sees me to be...
It's been one of those Sundays where the day has been spent sleeping and chilling out but once night falls, the brain starts to go on a power trip of introspection and mindless wanderings. And I've just written the 'intro' to this piece at the back, talk about thinking backwards.
The mid-term break is approaching and for many, it has come too soon for them. Most of them feel that the semester hasn't even started yet. I, on the other hand, feel that it is a timely arrival. Past week has seen a dip in the energy shown earlier, with less readings done and more lessons skipped although honestly, some of the lectures were especially redundant after reading their notes. So it is with a welcomed embrace that this break will be met by me. Can't wait to catch some movies and some sun as well, am starting to look like a jaundiced refugee already, although this image might seem a little tactless coming at a time when there are thousands of displaced 'evacuees' lining the streets of New Orleans right this moment.
Good, I've written something and it feels good to have let loose on this space once again. Until the next time folks...
