alice in wonderland syndrome


Not long after my previous post, I did consider not working at my cousin's place. My thoughts have not wavered since then. Working with family has proven to be a rather strenuous task and I feel I should avoid the possibility of heated confrontations. When I say heated confrontations, I really mean myself. I used to be like a Mimosa pudica, but now I do not shy away when I need to be aggressive or defensive.

I'm stubborn, I don't like to apologize, I'm quick tempered and among a myriad of other things. And if I were to exhibit such attributes in your presence, then I guess I'm not really trying to be attentive to your feelings. My friend said that she sees a competitive side to me. I don't think anyone ever noticed that side because I've always concealed that part of myself.

When we are young, all that we wanted to do was hurry up and grow up. Yet when we do grow up, all we want to do was be a child once again. Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world free from worry and hardship? But then who shall shoulder what we do not wish to be responsible for? The truth is that we're no longer protected by the confines of our childhood, but some of us failed miserably to see this.

I've spent my last few days indulging in too much charcoal chicken and an assortment of desserts. So much for going on a diet. I keep saying I'll start jogging, yet my new sneakers just keep collecting dust. I've been pondering what to save up for and a holiday to Antarctica seems rather tempting, I've always dreamt of going there ever since I was a child. I suppose I like to chase after the unconventional. Hope you have a sweet week ahead! Image credit:  impossibleastronaut

I can hear the rain slowly falling upon the roof and the trickle of rainwater down the roof gutter. I felt a burning sensation from the antiseptic explode around my grazed knee. I have learned an important lesson, do not cross the road whilst you are tremendously drowsy. Thankfully there were no cars on the road, I picked up my belongings and limped home. It was just a bad week for me. I've secured myself a job over the holiday and I rather look forward to it. I plan to enter the  Canon Photo5  competition, I just haven't had much inspiration the last few days. I don't anticipate on winning but it certainly seems appealing. The competition seems like a great way to challenge one's perception, to be creative, to take something ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.  I tend to erupt in sheer contempt when someone taunts me, I've learned to conceal that now. I find myself avoiding certain people and situations because I know I can't hold my

Happiness is a never ending quest for many of us. Some never quite find it whilst some spend their entire lives searching for it. Happiness is intangible, you can't see it nor can you touch it. You can't see all things with plain sight, sometimes you have to look much deeper than that.  The most common mistake that people commit is the presumption that happiness is something which must constantly be pursued. Instead of aimlessly searching, we should create our own happiness. Sometimes you must brave the dark hour of reason before you can appreciate all that is before you.  Friends are the very foundation of my entity. Without foundation, I would not exist. This is me writing to give thanks to those who mean anything at all to me. Some of them won't see this at all, but that's fine by me. Thank you for your counsel, encouragement and simply being there.  P.S I have no idea who those guys are in the picture above, but they sure made this a very memorable pict
