(Im)perfection

May 15th, 2008

I actually get comments about my hyppy mood all the time and people often generalise that I am *always* happy, which obviously isn’t the case.

I am happy, cheerful and all bright and positive most of the time, but alas, I’m a human too. I have my shitty days when I just want to curl up at a corner and sleep forever, or hide in the dark and just lock myself out from the entire world.

Someone once told me that there is no meaning to life, and that at the end of the day, you’ll die anyway, so why bother?

Now, I’m an atheist, so don’t bible bash me please, and don’t judge me thankyouverymuch. Yes, we all lead different lives but we all share a common beginning, that is birth, and ending, that’s death. Life is like a journey, but the only difference is, I know I don’t need a reason to live. And I am not in a rush to reach my destination because what matters to me is the difference I can, and have made along the way there.

There are rainy days in everyone’s life, but in mine, the sun immediately appear after the rainy days as long as I allow it. :)

It’s the survival of the fittest, and as much as we’d love to be the perfect ones, we’re not, and thus, that makes life not meant to be perfect too.

We all feel like crap at times, but what makes me different is the fact that I learn detachment. I know I’m unhappy, I know I’m tired and alone, I know I’m not well, and I don’t blame myself for them. I grieve over all my frustrations and irritations, and at the end of the day, I try to let all those negativities slip away in my sleep, and try to start a brand new day tomorrow.

As easy as it sounds, it takes effort, practice and perseverance. :) I used to believe that life is hard, and perseverance is rewarding, but I now also learned that life is hard, perseverance is rewarding, because we acquire resilience.

    So cheeem aahhaa..

    But yeah Ehon, I gotta agree with you the part being always happy. I smile a heck lot, maybe a little too much to be normal, hence when i stop smiling even just for a while people will think something must be wrong with me.

    Sometimes im just tired, but it does create a heck lot of misunderstandings.

    Garrrhhhhh
