Life has been a hustle bustle for me, like it always does. I have tried to make my ordinary life a little different recently, and it turns out that there is still much out there for me to learn; whilst knowing the fact that you're not competent enough is sometimes painful. But it's better than nothing. At least I've known what to be done, instead of lying on my own laurels and thinking of myself a perfect girl. I'm not perfect, no one is.
Oh gosh, that sounds a little emotional, but eh no! I'm not *chuckles*. I'm happy today, as I've accidentally found some missing pieces of me this morning, which reminds me of the many things I promised myself to achieve when I was younger, yet oblivion took their place.
I've promised myself a trip to Egypt when I was much younger. Yet now I am influenced by all those medias and popular cultures that of all places that I want to visit now is Taiwan or Korea, instead of my old mysterious Egypt, what is wrong with me?
I used to love to read through all those books which told me about paintings, history and culture. Yet now I only read fictions and textbook, (ah and Facebook!) instead of my old interest which actually granted me with a broader vision of the world. I used to love that, and what is wrong with me?
I used to dream of being a writer, an author, and now I have totally forgotten about that. (Even blogging or diary writing is a rare for me). What is wrong with me?
Well there is nothing wrong with me, all that happened is that, "I have grown up".

I've been spending much of my time tracing back my old memories recently while chit chatting with my friends, and I found myself so much cuter when I was a lot younger. (Only if you are willing to hear about it, I do have a great childhood with lots of hilarious "achievement".) Remembering a quote from Mark Twain, “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect” and voila! I'm definitely on the side of majority now. I've forgotten my old self, my old unique and rebellious self! And I'll have to admit that I miss her much!
Maybe I could find her, little by little, and grant her my promises to colour her life. Sorry for being forgetful, that is a stupid excuse though. And growing up doesn't mean that you'll need to put aside all the fantasies in your life, so abandon such excuses, and be dare to dream!
I love you girl. Please love yourself and your life!

Just try a little harder? (:
