you wear your watch on your right hand.

i know i said i wouldn't be using this space for anymore depression-inducing posts but tonight's exceptional.

a wake up call to what i really want in my life. its time to make compromises, no more waiting on fairytales to happen. you're never going to be that prince charming that you've watched in all those disney fantasies. and even if you were, there'd be no princess to fall madly in love with you after the rescue.

tomorrow, i will wake up to reality. simple, hard, harsh reality.

on academics: you'll never be able to live up to first class honours like your peers, considering your own intellect and the amount of hard work that you've already put in. second-upper class is decent enough to stay contented. don't ever feel the need for comparison, it brings nothing more than bitterness.

on love: tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your love life. there are no histories, it has been cleared. trust a little more, be abit bolder, don't be afraid of rejection. as much as i hate to admit it, its better to go for it, get your ending and continue on rather than let the fear of rejection lead you nowhere other than more regret.  its time to let go of the past and take the plunge.

on family: keep this your number one priority. never compromise your family for anything else in the world. at the end of the day, the phrase blood is thicker than water runs truest.

on friends: make as many new ones as possible and keep close to as many old ones.

on finances: it doesn't hurt to have a penny jar for a rainy day. spend wisely, spend on happiness, it is what the money was earned for in the first place.

on life: everyone's lost in their own pursuits. this pursuit has no final destination, but how rewarding the journey is depends largely on yourself. stay true to yourself and at the same time change for others.

i think an idle mind is a devil's playground. but somehow this playground always helps me get my priorities back together.

im still stuck at crossroads. we're so different, and yet so alike in so many ways.
