It's been almost three weeks since I'm back from my travel adventure and I still feel somewhat inadequate. The moment I landed I just wanted to fly off again. Maybe it's the thought of just easing into the routine of mundane reality that irks me. What I truly miss about traveling is the uncertainty tomorrow brings. When you're in a foreign country, you become a part of something greater than yourself. Like you know your existence somehow matters. Like you know you can do anything, without restrictions. Like you're super.

I think the craziest people in the world are the ones who believe they can raise a decent mannered child in this mad world.
kudos to you.

My home boy told me his biggest secret today. He has a two week old relationship with another girl. The first thing I did was arm slap him silly and after I was partially done he said I should hear him out.

So he goes on to say how he likes the presence of the new girl and how she makes him feel alive again. He asks me after if it was possible for someone to love two people at a time. I find this question very distasteful and this would be the second time I was posted a question of such manner from, such a surprise, the same gender.

I told him my honest opinion, that he's screwing up he's four year relationship for some cheap slut (I have my reasons for proclaiming her so) so that he could feel alive again. The way I see it, the misguided expectation of love, that it will always make your heart skip a beat or give you butterflies, has to be abolished. Like any other thing in our lives, things change and grow. You may not get the same kinda feeling you did for the person after years of being with them but you grow into a force that is too strong to stay apart from. Love manifests itself into something more that attraction.

Adding to that, I do not believe that the heart has the ability to share love. You cannot love two people at one time you either love one more than the other. If you love the girl be with her wholeheartedly else put her out of her misery and let her go. The way I see it, it's better to let go knowing the pain you created is for the betterment of both parties involved, rather than hang on to something you already know is failing. It's whether you're man enough to inflict the pain. but hey if you're not, at least you know one thing's for sure, misery does love company.

i think I might have lost the ability to be social without being sarcastically evil.

My bestfriend told me today that I don't seem okay and went on to ask if there was anything the matter. Truth be told, I am okay. I realize how reserve I get sometimes that I'm sorta boring by default. I'm always surrounded by loud people that people on the outside looking in would have the preconceived notion that I am too, loud. But I'm not. I'm just me, mellow and quiet unless you open up a topic of discussion pertaining to my interest like books, or photography, or music or serious stuff people wouldn't want to talk about because that would require the use of their grey matter. Otherwise I am told, I am a very admirable listener. She also added that she misses the me that is not in this current state. And I think to myself, but this is the real me.

After the break up with the former paramour, the supplier of my modest swatch watch collection, I've not been wearing a watch. The passing of time and the thought of idling I'm not too bothered about anymore. I don't know why I was so obsessed with making every minute productive. Maybe cause of the guilty line, 'minutes of your life you'd never get back'. True, but then again minutes of your life you're not making up stuff to do in your head.

It brings me overwhelming joy when I accidentally bump into longtime friends and the 5 minutes you take to squeeze the many updates of both your lives could be the highlight of your mundane day. Thursday's been a good one.

I think people slowly gain weight and brush the couple of pounds off as something they'd lose in a month but then it doesn't and they accept the new scale. Slowly but surely, you gain a couple more due to lowering of the metabolism rate, stress bingeing, the love of food, or whatever the cause, and you look in the mirror one fine day and do not recognize the fat face staring back at you. In any case, this has personally happened and thus my conjured sentiments. From tomorrow I am on a strict diet of cereal and soy milk and chinese tea. Detoxing myself from the crap I do stuff myself with (you'd be disgusted) would be a healthy way to start. Baring in mind however that the main motivation is not to lose weight or fit into a pair of jeans but the prospect of a healthy life in the coming years. I am sick of how I am depressingly exhausted all the time. It gets exhausting being exhausted.

I am feeling better thanks for asking.

It finally came into perspective, the cause of my moppiness that has lingered on for weeks. The over driven grey matter has not been challenged to feel beyond what needs to be felt, to see beyond what needs to be seen. Since A's I have boycott every single newspaper, knowing the minute details of every worldly affair and the only minuscule amount of news I receive is the CNN alert on my phone. Choosing to be and stay oblivious to the tragedies of the world and beyond limits you to adequacy. You don't go beyond what is only necessary and I suppose I've lost that aspect of me that chooses to care. Compassion within me has died. It is truly ironic how you shut the world out in hopes that oblivion would bring about bliss and yet, limiting yourself to being adequate makes you inadequate. Oh shit, I've turned communist.
