a sudden thought
while i was staring into space in the library on a Sunday, yes a Sunday, i came to a realisation that there are places for many different people in this world.
i mean not everybody can be a doctor, a lawyer, a banker; there are so many other jobs waiting to have their shoes filled. and why be so competitive? i know it feels weird saying this now, but somehow something has been imbued in me since i was 12, that in order to get to the top, it entails putting others down.
a notion that really has been at the back of my mind since forever, and when you're at the tender age of 12, what your teacher says is like *deng deng deng deng* the only truth. competing and pitting myself against others has made me very bitter, and i've become a person i don't recognise anymore.
while walking up the steps to the library i realised i don't want to be anywhere else in the world, i'm more than contented with what i have now. that doesn't mean i won't keep fighting, it just means i will fight with a smile :) makes things less painful, no?
