interesting to note that i have gotten to realise more of the reality of the situation, to be now able to see the facade i was seeing wearing the glasses of hope. i am now able to see the truth of my being, the truth of others, the truth of the matter, the truth of the situation, the truth that was once a lie.
this past week or so has been but just another metamorphophical stage that me, a cocoon, and insect, a caterpillar had to go through. though being able to see the truth, bewilderment has its way of impounding itself on me. i managed to see certain things, yet with that cleared, more sets on, just like the homework in ib. but, i guess i shouldnt complain since it could have been worse.
the exam stress is setting in. exams which are not counted, but they are exams nonetheless, and people always get nervous when they approach despite knowing that the grades are not even counted. need… tuition… bad… ly.
many things happened this week. ive seen and am able to comprehend the phrase, its a dog eat dog world better with a deeper understanding. true, there are many dogs in this world especially in the holistic school of ib. i mean, how can a group of people, all so doggish be able to stand each other and seem so harmonious? interesting isnt it? then again, maybe it follows the idiom, birds of a feather flock together. i wonder if i will be able to fit in the flock. maybe ill just fly solo. suits me just fine. its me. afterall, ive been pretty much a solo flyer since primary school, eating lunch alone in the canteen, and stuff like that. walk home alone, blah blah.
solo. hm. quite nice to have a little personal quiet time sometimes. if i were born on a mountain, my favourite hobby would be to lay under the starry sky and look and gaze upon the stars so bright, and wonder to myself,… well, nothing. just gaze and stare.
so many dogs, so many dogs. i wasnt even spared while walking along the corridor to return to my seat in a lecture theatre from taking a toilet break. daggers had to be thrown at me. too fast. couldnt react. nothing to pinpoint. no aid from all sides. sad. tis sad indeed. rage, fury blew over me, yet a sudden surge of peace and calm swept upon me, gushing the flame of rage away. good for me.
i guess history lays itself in front of you sometimes. sometimes it wraps you up in it. sometimes it constricts you that you could hardly breathe. yet sometimes it gives you a lift up to the highest place you want to be. it can bring you up, it can tear you down.
interesting isnt it? everything goes and comes, unlike common belief, time, that runs linear, but this, this complex system that goes around and comes around, despite our low intellect’s effort to hastily explain and formulate a formula, it is not as simple. it is a system that works in various ways, yet the essence, is fundamental, and is easy. for if one does it continuously, one would reap its benefits.
sometimes that system seems to fail with other people, but work extremely well for you. but remember, this system, a cycle in that system, trascends time, it crosses the boundaries of life and death, it crosses the boundaries of short or long time span. sometimes so long, the end is not within sight. sometimes it is like a rainbow, you see it, but you can never get it. you cant grasp it. it is there, an entity that has no body. an enigma.
enigmas are everywhere in the world. you see them sometimes, yet sometimes you dont. sometimes you think you see, but in fact you dont. but you dont know that sometimes. sometimes you know you see, but its may not be. they are a mystery, never solvable, never definable. we are one example of it.
everyone is an enigma. everyone has secrets that they want to hide. because of that, armour and shields were created. the shape, size, strength, resistivity, form, all different from one another. some defences are pure venom and poison. some are instead pure defensive attack, headon. some are like a veil of gas, unseeable, unfeelable, unsmellable; nothing. these roam into your everything, and when wanted to, will strike at where it hurts. precision differs from one veil of gas to another. however, this pain, internally inflicted will never go away. only time, and the heart, can heal it and nurse it back to health.
a mirror is wad i need, its wad i seek. may it show truth and nothing but the truth, for lies are worthless nothingness of pretence, useless. may a mirror appear in front of me, in my life, shining brightly, eternally.
