Keyword :: Moderation

as i was browsing my facebook wall, i came across a former colleague's status update:

Life's paths may change your outlook on life, but never allow life to change the person you are inside. Always remain true to yourself.

it kinda makes sense... events and situations are meant to happen for us to make a lesson out of it... for us to learn and move on... to see things in different perspectives... but not to pull you down and turn you inside out... contradictory, but very true... the key, is moderation...

i once planted myself in a pot where i thought was great stuff, thinking it'll be a great place to thrive and grow... oh, grow i definitely did... but not the way i'd love for myself to be... this place had twisted me inside out... speeches of freedom was heard every where... on the contrary, the leashes were bounded so tight, it was almost impossible to crack them... a couple of months back, i managed to bend it a little... unfortunately, it had grown stronger and faster than i could manage... it had and still is filling me with much disappointments... making me wilted and unable to care and bear fruits any longer... it had taken the passion out of me... probably it is time i uproot myself for greener pastures and to find my passionate true self again...

and then it got me thinking... being bogged down with so much disappointments, it had definitely taken a toll on me... instead of the more often happier thoughts, i've been leaning on the pessimistic scale... not to mention my complains of his own passion and my request for him to stop what he loves most... wouldnt that be the same as putting him in the same flower pot as i am now???

sigh... really, i guess what i missed most is spending quality time with him... just the two of us without distraction from his mobile and vehicles... coming to think of it... i'd be devastated if he'd approved of my request to kill his own passion... all i love to see is him practice moderation... and of course an only-two-of-us-time alone... be who you are, i'd tell him... that's the reason i fell head over heels for him, anyway... simply, dont forget me...
