I love those people that use Tumblr as a personal diary to pour out their real, raw emotions and/or even just use it to record their simple day-to-day activities. A Tumblr full of reblogs of pretty pictures is cool too and I mean, it’s your blog, you’re free to do whatever you’d like. Nothing wrong at all with constantly reblogging. :) But sometimes it’s so refreshing and intriguing for me to come across those blogs where I can see and feel its author think and write and just express themselves, unafraid to show their vulnerabilities and those little nuances that make them that much more human.
I think part of a fulfilling life is getting to know other humans, whether its reading about them or actually having a conversation with them. This is especially good for people who are shy/awkward or introverts like me who would like to come out of their shell a little more - by making that effort to get to know others and be a part of someone’s life, you become less preoccupied with your own inhibitions and gradually turn into a less shy/awkward person (haha), a better communicator, a more caring individual, and an all around greater person. You feel better about yourself and what you have to offer this fascinating world.
Often times I feel the need to just go out in some heavily wooded forest, or a vast open field, or some deserted island to live on my own for a while, fight for my own survival, rediscover myself and learn the importance of this life. I want to go on a journey. I want to spend a good while on the mountains of Tibet to explore the land, speak to the people and really get to know them, learn from the monks, rejuvenate my body, mind, and spirit. Look at this place. It’s absolutely beautiful.
I think sometimes people just need to go far, far away from the comfortable and wherever we may call “home” to really find out who they truly are and to understand the significance of what it is to be alive on this Earth. I would really like this right now.
I don’t know if this applies in other Asian cultures (or cultures whose diets heavily consist of rice), but I feel that it is a true skill to balance out your rice and “ulam” (basically, whatever main dish you’re eating with your rice) when you eat, so that you have exactly one last bite of ulam and one last bite of rice left. I am proud to say, that thanks to my culture(and/or my slightly obsessive-compulsive behavior), I have perfected this precise skill.
I’ve made it a goal of mine to see BoA in person again at least one more time before it is my turn to leave this Earth.
