Oh well, as we all know yesterday was Malaysian Independence Day. Dove = Freedom ? Freedom = Peace ?
I actually think I'm getting better at this. At slowly weaning myself off my parents, systematically loosing dependence. If I were any older, I'd be a fraud to be writing everything I did, and to still be living with them. It's too Malaysian, not that being Malaysian is bad, but rather the fact that we just seem to live with our parents...forever.
Living is quite incomprehensible, don't you think.
For a long, long time, there didn't seem to be any way around things. If you lived here, you'd know what I mean. Literally, there's just such an inevitable sense of routine that seems inescapable most times. It isn't actually, but some people never leave it (fact: I'm still stuck in it) because it's too comfortable, but more-so, because they haven't comprehended anything else.
What did education ever do for me anyway, I've memorized more textbooks then can be good for me, I'm not being contemptuous and self-effacing. I know I have talent, it's just that I can't seem to make money out of it yet. Why's that?
Oh I'll tell you why that is. It's because I spent all that time memorizing books to which all I got out of it was maybe a couple of certificates from the school for the occasional good performance (unfortunately very rarely).
So today, which is quite like many 'one days' I have woken up to previously, realised I need to get a grip on my life, as cliche as that is. I'm a balanced individual, normally. Life is easy to handle, I don't do hard drugs and will never do hard drugs, I have an eating disorder, but it's much better now then it was a couple of years ago. But when it comes to what everyone expect out of me, God, I need to get out.
Everyone expect so much out of me. It's insane, and horribly unfair.
Hate having to be considerate to them all, and all the time, especially when they're not considerate to me. In fact, I hate being considerate to people because I have to; who does.
But if you have to so that it makes life easier... don't suppose you've given yourself a choice, have you.
Have I ?
I need to function as an individual. I honestly should leave, and it's scary for me to think about it, because I know I can. They don't teach it to you in school. Everything here functions as one bloody big community, you can never live for yourself. Consider your parents, your grandparents; for God sakes everyone can consider themselves, they are humans after all.
I'm getting older and I really think this irresponsibility about my life on my part simply cannot do. But God, I am so lazy. Why should I work when I can live off them for a few more years?
Perhaps I should find someone to live off, either way, I'm beholden to somebody.
I really need to figure things out, need to start doing something, make something, be productive. This world does not run on empty. I wish I knew how to, though.
Meanwhile, Bakry is so cold towards me these days. Why couldn't he compromise and love me like he used to ?
I miss the 'old' Bakry. The one that makes me feel like a princess and sent me emails that cheered me up when he is not here to make me happy.
Overall today is a shitty day, I even got punched at my left arm by some dude from next class, and he dared to say to me he was joking. What kind of sick joke was that ?
Ouch my arms hurt.
My Quote of the day:
Repugnance is simply a variation of fascination.
