what are you?

She asked me, “Why do you close yourself off from people?”

“It’s easier this way,” I replied. “I have better focus on the things that are important to me right now. I’m not going to go out of my way to look for things that I don’t need.”

"Easier in what way? I understand that you won’t be able to get hurt by others, but you know you’ll probably never find someone that’ll be able to make you happy, too,” she remarked.

“And who is to say that I need someone else to make me happy?” I asked. “You see, that’s the kind of thinking I hate — when people believe the only way to be happy is through another person.”

Everyone has a purpose in life, no matter how absurd.

But thinking about it, I don't want to just have one purpose in life. I want more. I want to have the best of all worlds, loving all there is to love, living all there is to live. I want to travel, I want to bring the people I love along, I want to make them happy, I want to make strangers happy, I want to go to the North Pole and just laugh at penguins for a day. Too simple? Who defines how a purpose should be? Noble? Ambitious?

Now, who's daring enough to just be content with the simplest things? And hey, not everyone can laugh at penguins for one whole day okay. I am going to achieve that. While everyone tries to fit into the high-achiever mold, my heart is too restless to conform.

I shall die with sun-kissed skin and signs of adventure on my body, not of old age and ailing limbs.

Please forgive my terrible post on 大年初二.

Fuck.

I am in a damn bad mood. And it's infuriating me more that the harder I try to break out of it, the worse I feel. I guess I am convinced that my new year is starting out bad, which is leading me into a downward spiral. Shit.
