I have begun to think that the very name (it was then “lamentations”) of this blog might have limited me to writing purely rants and serious thoughts of late. Still, I did create this space as an asylum, my own refuge of sorts where I can simply let my thoughts run free while I let go of bottled-up stress.
But when I drop by my older blog and read through the posts I have there, sometimes I see a different me… a more carefree one, a happier me. And I guess I miss that. I miss blogging that something made my day… I miss writing about the little things, the simple things that brought a smile to my face on that particular day.
As I grew older, have I really grown more cynical? It’s like… I used to look at the world in soft, pastel hues, but now everything is borderline bleak and dreary. I need to throw in a splash of color in my now monochrome world. *sigh*
I know that life is not always fair, and I think that love is treacherous, but I want to look straight into the face of fate and say, “Bring it on, I am NOT going to back down, and you are NOT going to bring me down.”
I do NOT want to give in to pressure. When it comes to those abstract things in life that people so love to make a big deal out of, I would like to be doing something because I choose to do it and I want to do it, and not because other people think I should. What is the point in living your life always in the shadow of other people’s thoughts? Make up your own mind, I say. It doesn’t matter if you take your time doing it, as long as it is your choice. And when once you’ve made that choice, live for it and embrace the consequences for as long as they don’t become a hindrance to your happiness and your self-worth.
i figured it was time for new beginnings. the old asylum was getting rather crowded, what with three years worth of lamentations.
so i have moved to a new home, a spankin' new asyLuM. if you miss the old one, you can still read my laments of yore here.
welcome, then.
look who’s talking. =P

“I do NOT want to give in to pressure”
I know you can feel it you just don’t want to give in but for how long?
“sometimes I see a different me… a more carefree one, a happier me.”
If symptoms persists… consult your heart doctor. ( not a good sign )
“I need to throw in a splash of color in my now monochrome world. *sigh*”
It’s because you’re wearin’ black all the time… Ever tried pink, blue and red?
“abstract things in life that people so love to make a big deal out of”
We only live once…
” I would like to be doing something because I choose to do it and I want to do it, and not because other people think I should.”
Nonsense!!!! It’s because you’re scared and full of worries. If there are choices you can have ‘em both no one forbids you to have the best of both worlds.
“And when once you’ve made that choice, live for it and embrace the consequences for as long as they don’t become a hindrance to your happiness and your self-worth.”
Sa bisaya… imo nalang gibarugan… bisan kabalo ka sa consequences…
hmmmm… payter \m/
