hey. kay posting's going from like a once a week thing, to a once a month thing, to a once a brainwave thing. and since there're two wonderful essay SAs (omg same! essaySAessaySA. okay it's stress, obviously. same goes for the little dent in the noticeboard beside me in class, sorry. :p) next week, I shall have a wonderful essay post.I agree to a large extent that life is just so screwed up.life's stressful. the education system forces information into our brains, most of which is not useful in any way. with our 文凭挂帅 society, all that matters is grades, qualifications, achievements. academically, it's do well or die. cocurricular-ily, you've to be good at something to even be allowed to pursue it. learning is for the sake of it, for the "better future" everyone aims for. tests, exams, projects; they all cause so much (unnecessary?) stress. they cost us our sleep, our fun, our time. look, we're kids, we should be spending the time with the wind in our hair and the sun on our cheeks and the sand 'neath our feet.life's transient. before you know it, you're all grown up and thrown into the cruel world. goodbye childish innocence. you spend all your childhood studying things you'll never think about again, you spend half your school life on something you'll never do again. there's no time, no, everyone'd be too busy working. friendships forged, are erased over time. bonds built, break. life goes on.life's hypocritical. okay, not the right word. oxymoronic. argh, it just doesn't make sense. you either forsake your present in hope of a better future, or damn your future by enjoying the present. you wish to know things, out of curiosity, but sometimes after that, you wish you didn't know after all. you spend little kid days looking in awe at being grown up, you spend adulthood reminiscing the carefree life of a child. you learn, only to lose (it); yet you lose, to learn. noses run, feet smell. don't we all want the goods of everything, and the bads of nothing? 这是指日可待的。 你等久久吧。life's full of loss. you lose money, you lose time. you lose a belonging. you lose a friendship, you lose a friend. you lose purpose, you lose direction. you lose your way. you lose a loved one, you lose love. you lose life. you lose.you.yet, life is beautiful. a little laugh, a little hug, a little smile. the simple things. a sunrise, a sunset. the smell of rain, the smell of grass. the warmth of a comfy blanket. the sound of silence, the sound of music. the beauty of art, of music, of dance, of a poem. friendship, however transient. love, peace, joy. faith. hope. fun, happiness. so laugh a little louder, hug a little tighter, smile a little wider. reach far, jump high. love deeply, sing freely. think. feel. appreciate.there you have it. life- don't take it too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive.on another aspect, related though to many aforementioned, I resist change. D: I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna go work. shorter term, I don't wanna leave rg, I don't wanna go rj. even shorter, I don't wanna change seats! TAR is the LOVE :D and thus ): but indeed, life is transient, stressful, full of loss, and doesn't make sense. so live it.
