Sometimes, I seriously suspect I have STML - Short Term Memory Loss. I can't believe how fast i forget things that came across my mind just a mere couple of hours ago.
I was just telling love how sometimes people can be so wrapped up in their own daily lives, consumed by their own problems such that they feel that if they can't get pass the current situation/obstacle, it's almost like the end of the world to them. For example, a student fretting about not achieving his/her desired CAP score or a working adult, worrying about how he/she is going to impress his/her boss in an upcoming presentation to determine his/her promotion/pay rise. These people fail to take a step back and ponder that somewhere on the other side of the globe, some other people could actually be living from hand to mouth, barely making ends meet, fleeing for their lives, trying with all their will and might just so they could survive till the end of the day. When you compare these 2 groups of people, it makes the problems of the first group of people seem so trivial and insignificant.
And then when I got home, I just totally forgot what I said and meant earlier. The problems weighed down on me and upset me once again. Threw me into a state of despondency and despair. Then I told love how wonderful it would be if I could just go to bed and just not wake up the next day. That would probably make the problems go away. (Jeez, even typing the words out now makes it sound so silly and just plain selfish. Pure escapism.) But then I soon felt that 'Crap, that's not gonna happen.' Tomorrow the sun will still shine, the birds will still chirp, the earth will still revolve and I'll wake up thinking 'Damn, I'm still alive!' So I should just get my act together and make something happen. Do something and hope that things will get better. Aye, but that ain't good enough. It's also about knowing and believing that things WILL get better, you'll overcome the odds and not let the matter swallow you up.
So yes, I believe in J.C. (Hehe =)
I believe I can get through this
And I will.
