learning not to blog

it could've been bluefin tuna sashimi for the same price but much lesser portion! damn...

i couldn't blog at home for a few weeks apparently due to a singtel proxy problem and the solution was as simple as hitting the command + shift + R buttons for mac users with FF. so it was today that i decided to sit down and google my way out. don't you just love the world wide web? ok ok i'll sort out the html code for email template another day ;p you know i had a few posts in mind a few pictures in place ready to be uploaded. i wanted to say something it was on the tip of my tongue but with time it just sort of passes. passed me by in the moments of a few weeks and things got less important. for me to blog about. somehow it didn't seem to matter as much if i didn't say certain things at certain times and if i didn't need to have an open opinion about stuff. in general.
you know initially i thought the first signs for turning of age is to say what you think. come on we're all adults we can look each other in the face and be direct about everything under the sun. *shrugs* life's short ain't it to be playing games no more. but lately on several occasions i've come to realise that life's not all about me. i mean i knew that from long ago perhaps i should say there's more to life than just that one moment of me. hey i think i've discovered my sensitive side. ha! well everybody thinks the world revolves around them. that they are life's latest victims. eh or the planet's greatest joke. true you should live the way you like and deem fit. there's the freedom of speech and the loudest always gets heard. and the echo in the voice you hear is always 'me me me'. i have feelings. i am sad. i don't like what you did. i am happy. i think you are rude. this is the way i am. what does it matter if people don't see it my way? i'll still make a point. loud and clear.
however it's not about being upfront straightforward frank blunt or outspoken at times. more than often when we speak in such manner we get credited for being candid for speaking our minds. why not express ourselves freely? why should we if it's basically a selfish attempt to scream for attention? i agree i can be brutally in your face sometimes but it's not to force my will on anyone. it's not to ask for empathy. you find out everyone has their own stand and try to impose it on others. i don't wish to be indignant just because someone out there didn't hear me. even if they've heard does it mean anything? i've learnt it's not imperative that i am understood. even if i am does it mean someone else gets to live my life? i don't see a need for explanations to show that there's a reason behind everything i do. even if there is does it justify my actions in the end? i've learnt to take a step back. even if i don't tomorrow will always be there.
it's not that i've lost my voice. i've just learnt to hold things back nowadays. ok unless it really bugs me. and i've learnt that the beauty of time throws everything that matters at one point into perspective days later. then eventually all the seemingly important things turn petty and life's really more than this.
