The City That Never Sleeps




posted : February 15, 2009

I guess as humans (minus people like Chris Brown who are superhuman), we do have insecurities. As we grow up, we think we are all too smart, knowledgeable, wise, experienced that we think we can stare fear through our eyes. We try to deceive ourselves. We are wired such that we have a lot of insecurities naturally. The fear of having loved someone and parted ways. The fear of thinking you knew someone well when actually you realise some fine day you don’t actually know the person well after all. The fear of being stuck alone through some sticky phase in life. The fear of someone tearing you apart. The fear of someone knowing you too well. Even your dark inner secrets. The fear of friendships ending bitterly. We all have way too many insecurities, fears that we hope someday it all can disappear and we can start like a new person. A fresh with a clean slate. But then again if not for your past, mistakes and what-nots, do you think your present would be what it is now. As much as our past can make us run away from it at times, pretend it never existed moments, it is the shear reason why you think the way you do now. It’s why you feel the way you do about certain things or maybe even people. At least for me, my past no matter how horrid it was, was my past. I'm accepting it slowly but surely these days. Am I changing for someone better off these days? I wonder. Experiences - the best teacher you can probably get.

And I’m beginning to be optimistic that the years ahead for us wouldn’t be that bad. I guess now that we are all in some sorta phase together we have common stuff that connect us and make us understand each other. We still have tons of differences, clashes in opinions and stuff but I think we’ll get by working around them I guess and hope. And this year in the aspect at least has been pretty smooth sailing. So kudos to that!

Coincidence has just a way of working around your mind to make you believe want you want to. It does it every single time just so well.
