challenges!

booooooooooooooooo! today was a sian day again. my experience of highs and lows seem to oscillate with such frequency these days, perhaps a reflection of my dishevelled mind. cluttered with so many projects and work, coupled with the chronic fatigue that has been plaguing me recently, my emotions are taking a rollercoaster ride.

hmm. oh well. i think i'll just take this period of difficulty as a challenge - a challenge to further myself in spite of these obstacles. often we speak of facing trials and defeating them, but sometimes when they appear in intangible forms, we forgot what we preach and subconsciously choose to take the cowardly 'flight' path.

we escape by cornering ourselves; we fight by surrendering. in such times, i try to recall the times i promised myself, promised others, how i would strive on and endure no matter what. it's time to honour my word.

we humans are strange creatures - we believe what we want to see. as such, many fail to look past the underneath, or perhaps even see past the surface. i think everyone at our most fundamental level is an oyster - people who conceal something deeper inside our seemingly mundane and normal outlook.

if we only care for ourselves, we will only wallow in self-depreciation. the world is built with billions of people because we are created to serve one another. seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted; to love, than to be loved. for it is by self-forgetting, that one finds. when we give, we receive even more. =)

today is the last day of school. and it has really been an uneventful ending to an otherwise interesting year of school.

to move, we need friction.
to fly, we need resistance.
