In a rare moment of tranquility, I've decided to come and say hello, just to show my face.
As much as life seems to be throwing at me right now, I don't think I'm dealing with it too badly at all. I've sorted out about as many things as it's possible to, and now I'm basking in the rays of sunlight which happen to come my way.
Education seems to be climbing on my list of priorities too, despite missing a couple of seminars. I've managed to avoid fucking up the first term :) which gives me faith in this next one. And so far, I'm enjoying journalism far more than I expected to.

It's late!
In a way, I suppose I've been holding back on blogging for a while because I've been at a point in my life where I'm not keen on the idea of publishing my every feeling. I have enough questions fired at me anyway. But I seem to have remembered somewhere along the way, the value of putting fingertips to keyboard and making some sense of my thoughts. It can help a lot sometimes. Though I'm considering finding a more private place to put my deeper, darker thoughts. For now though, here we are.
In life, as much as we try to convince ourselves that we do things for the greater good, and benefit of others, it needs to be accepted that this is not always the case. Eventually, most people tend to just go for what it is they really want. The only reason people do not accept this on a fairly regular basis, is that cultural customs, negotiated meanings and learned pleasures and pains make very convenient distractions. It's a shame then, that even when we do accept this selfishness as a reality, it does not make anything any easier. In fact, it seems like this has been violently biting me in the ass lately. I don't mean to say that it does not apply to me in the slightest (I'm an excellent example) but it does get infuriating when you are reminded of the fact that it is not necessarily you who determines what happens in your life, just the way people perceive you. As much as my mother tells me 'you can't be responsible for anyone else's feelings', it sure can fucking seem like it.
I've also noticed lately, the problems in my life, and people close to me, are shared by thousands of people, all over the place. Thank God for the internet to remind me of that. It gives me some sort of faith that not only is it all normal, but that it will have to sort itself out at some point, being the boring little problem that it is (in the bigger picture).
That being said, there are some things which have come to light when talking to a friend today, reminding me of how lucky I am to be alive. Yet another thing, I suppose, to remind me not to worry so much about what is going on in my naive little world.
As much as life can certainly be a bitch, lets all just take a little comfort in the fact that we've at least got a shot at being happy, and achieving what we dream of in life.
Though that may be a cliche, hypocritical, full of inaccuracies and possibly even bad grammar, it's the closest I can get right now. And I don't ever remember ever claiming to be perfect.
I'll leave you with a little message from David Firth <3

Oh, and don't forget to have a romantic day everyone.
