time space continuum

the older i get, the more i wish i could travel back in time with what i know now 

i used to be a 5th grader wishing to be a 2nd grader, thinking i will ace all basic arithmetic after finally understanding algebra.

then i became a college student wishing to be a high schooler, thinking i will re-invent myself after finally overcoming my social awkwardness.

then i became a working adult wishing to be a student, thinking i will get into better schools after finally developing a solid work ethic.

and now i'm in my 30s wishing to re-live life all over again, thinking i will avoid all of my life's regrets after finally learning from my mistakes.

it's likely that this pattern will continue.

precious lives

i don't think i've had an emotional breakdown in recent memory. up until now. it's just so hard. y'know. to be dealing with this kind of self i have to live with. and i sincerely wish the alternative choice were easy to make. but that's not how it goes. i'm not asking for easy, in fact i'm more game the harder it is. but it gets to a point where you're conflicted with continuing or quitting. everything that i've subjected myself to, they're all distractions. i'm filled with all of this negative energy that i try to make something productive out of. the work that i do, this blog that i write, the time i spend laboring to give my friends the best time possible - they're all a means for me to focus on something other than my messy life. holy freaking hell i just hate the person that i am. i really do. so it helps to not be me. it helps to put up a kept persona. it helps to have all of the energy i have left, all the will to live, i p...

I was born under aries, but the prospect of going to a new destination leaves me anxious. I don't like being the absolute center of attention. Neither do I make any effort to be the life of the party. I wasn't born under taurus, but I diligently keep a personal book of cash flow I love being deeply rooted at home, so much so that I've wisely spent my disposable income on creature comforts that makes going out of the house unnecessary. I wasn't born under gemini, but i'm habitually indecisive and inconsistent. and seeing that I've been keeping a blog for more than a decade, it's safe to assume that I've done my share of talking I wasn't born under cancer, but i'm fiercely loyal beyond any sensible reason. I can sense where the other person is getting at and deeply feel emotional pain from any shade thrown at me. I wasn't born under leo, but i'm the personification of passion and pride. I wasn't born under virgo, bu...

celestiality

it can get frustrating to have people put the spotlight on me when all i want is for them to have the best time as the main star. having gone through a traumatizing experience triggered a hell of an outburst from me akin to a supernova. all i really am now is a mess diffused stardust where nothing could physically be drawn to revolve around me. or at the very least, that's how i see myself so it's quite dissonant to be given a bit of attention. but yeah, i have to smile like i mean it. even when i know it's a waste of time. not that i don't appreciate other people's efforts. i really do and i love them to bits. but it's just hard for me to come to terms with how i'm deserving of good things happening to me when i'm clearly a person worth betraying to the gravest possible degree. i honestly see no glimmer of hope no matter how much the stage lights are shone on me. it can be agonizing to feel as if i'm living such a lie. and maybe there's a ...
