I guess this is life, isn’t it?
All open questions with no solid answers.

It’s funny, how similar we really all are
Have you ever dissed someone? Bitched about somebody? Put someone down?
Well, that person has the same feelings as you do. The same needs, the same insecurities, and probably will adopt the same response, although perhaps to different extents and varying degrees when responding to you.
Instead of saying, “Be sympathetic, don’t do such hurtful things to other people because they feel the same as you do”, I’m going to tell you to do it anyway, simply because we all hurt to live. We all learn through hurt. We remember best through hurt, and no, I’m not joking.
Tell me, how many of life lessons learnt, the “I shall not do that again” or “That’s a mistake, and I ain’t never gonna repeat it ever again”, are driven through our thick-headed skull and into our brains when we hurt? For me, it’s practically all of them. How many are driven into your heads when you laugh? Probably none of them.
It’s precisely because we hurt that we can see clearly what are the things that makes us laugh, brings us joy. The things we can’t live without. Because hurt is not something that randomly descends upon you. Hurt is something that you feel when something that makes you laugh, gives you happiness, turns against you or is taken brutally away from you. That’s when you know, that’s when you know.
Hurt is painful. Our natural instinct is to avoid hurt and gloss over it, keep moving on. Only to stumble upon the same things that makes us hurt, and we avoid it again. Because of that, we never learn. We may wallow forever, never learning, never knowing, because we choose to avoid the worst of the hurt. And you prolong your suffering, deprive yourself of the knowledge of what makes you happy, and yet you continue to hurt.
So I say, don’t be afraid of hurt. Go out there and EMBRACE hurt. It’s not gonna be pretty, it’s not going to feel good, but it’s going to make you life a hell lot more meaningful and make you realize, most important of all, what makes you truly happy.
FYI, embracing hurt does not mean courting hurt or going out there to cause more hurt upon yourself deliberately. It’s just accepting the hurt that comes with circumstances that triggers that hurt so you can learn.
We are really the sorriest sons of bitches on the planet and at the same time the luckiest sons of bitches on the planet. Some days it’s one, other days it’s the other. Sometimes, maybe most of the time, it’s both (strangely enough). That’s humanity for you.
Watched shutter island?
If not, go watch it!!!!
Fucking genius piece of work. And it’s not even considered to be Martin Scorsese’s best.
Need to catch Taxi Driver, The Departed and The Aviator. Oh, and not to mention, Borat. Although that’s completely unrelated.
Guess that pretty much sums it all up, doesn’t it?
Being “most effective” happens only 1/9th of the time.
Can we pretend that airplanes, in the night sky, are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now.
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you’re staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back

Here I am, jumping on the bandwagon!
Ah, the relaxing period called “examinations”. Makes you just wanna get on the net and start fooling around with random distracting things like this, doesn’t it?
