The Record

"I just want u to know what i know before i dont know it anymore." -Dexter

I was scrolling my notes earlier when i found this among the quotes that I have saved. This line is from my favorite series Dexter. I can't remember exactly whose line it is, but it somehow occurred to me that it is also particularly applicable to blogging. It's the advantage that blogging brings to us, bloggers. We can write down our thoughts before we forget them. Then, read them again in future and be amazed of what was running into our head when we were writing them. It's an awesome feeling actually. I normally read my blog posts whenever I feel like it and I still get the same mixed emotion everytime, especially the ones that I kept private and confidential.

I usually say I refuse to use all my brain cells because I'm saving some for old age, if I live that long. So I only absorb the most important things that happen everyday. But here comes the blog! Blog as my backup memory. It is a very useful means of storage and reminder, if we only write all the details. We may forget the people in our past, the feelings from our past, and the events of the past. But our blog will come in handy to remind and bring us to the past. How nice is that!

So keep blogging! Good night! :)

Carpe Diem

Do you have that moment when you feel all too weak and useless? Or that moment when you think you could have done better with your life or in everything? But then thinking too hard, you just couldn't because there are limitations. It could be a limit due to social norms, limit of resources, limit of talent, or the lack of "willingness" to do. How lethargic it can be at times. Leaving you wondering if it would even be possible to maintain the momentum of happiness and motivational balance that you pull through intrinsically or extrinsically. But would intrinsic factor be enough or extrinsic for that matter to keep you going? Or do you have to have a blend of both?

I always question life's complications. But i guess that is what makes life a LIFE. Nothing is easy, nothing is simple and sometimes nothing is what it seems. You laugh at one moment, then cry next. Happy at one point, then sorrowful next. You are on top now, and down later. You think you have everything, and realized you have nothing. Ironies of all ironies can happen. That is life. The laments, the rants, the pleas, the indifference, and most importantly the contentment and gratefulness. In short, pessimism and optimism. All these elements can make or break your way of life. You got to choose. You have to know. Know yourself and what you want. Only then and by then that you will understand the kind of life you want to lead. So think and act fast while enjoying every moment. Life is too short to realize it's too late. Carpe Diem!
