mm don't mistake this for the advocacy of a water-is-purer-than-blood ideaology, or an angsty bitching session against parents/siblings. i'm fully commited to my family. naw this is just a look at the other path of grownup life that not many ppl consider: the road less taken. lolz how enigmatic-ly poetic. let's begin with a prayer that i said before we started our reunion dinner, to convince all the ppl out there waiting with bared fangs to rip this argument to shreds and judge me (lolz yes i'm over-sensitive and over-aware of what i'm blogging abt), that i do have a wonderful family and i'm not a lost soul. then again, a much simpler motive would be cos i wanna record this down as a milestone in family life :)
"Dear Lord, another year has passed. Before we ask for your blessings, we just want to thank you for everything that you've given us this past year. Thank you for your blessings, thank you for the trials that have strengthened us but most of all, thank you for this reunion dinner. Thank you that we are all here together, bonded as a family, able to share in a meal in peace and harmony. And as we gather today to share your gift to us, we ask that you continue to bless all of us in peace and happiness always. May we always remain as 1 family, bonded not only through blood but also through the unbreakable ties of family love. This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
not a particularly touching paragraph... it's just as sincere as it gets i guess. but as i said to my bro and sis in one of e houses that we visited, i'm willing to consider not having a family when i grow up.
the life of a bachelor! lolz :) and no i'm not consoling myself for not having a gf -.- just think about it. the freedom to do anything. ANYTHING. travel the world, free of responsibilities. love your nephews and nieces, but without the tiresome weight of responsibility. to experience everything you want to experience and yea... just earn the money and spend it all on yourself. wouldn't that be nice? i mean... i don't get how anyone won't find it enticing. yes i guess if u really want to put it in that light, it would be hedonism. then again, life's abt living ain't it? u either take the road with peace, or u take the road with ecstasy. they're not on the same scale. there's no good or bad they're just... different. indulge in all the hobbies that you've ever wanted... all the materialistic needs that you can afford. i guess u'd be missing out on a hell lot but if u walked the family path, wouldn't u miss this? i mean these kind of thots make up mid-life crises don't they? ok la maybe they don't getting confused. but i can definitely imagine the life i'll be leading if i take this path... lolz for one, there's this list in my palm that says 'things to do', 'things to buy', 'movies to watch', 'books to read'. ehh. those lists will evaporate. i'll do anything i want, buy anything i want, spend my time however i want to spend it and watch movies and read books forever. lolz ok la maybe it's not thaaaaaat happy go lucky but still... it's scarily tempting.
lolz just looking at the alternative... not saying that i'm gonna walk this road. of course if a relationship hits home i'd have a clouded view so just taking this opportunity in a free mental state to examine this other path.
i think it's really hard to judge the better of the two paths. you'd have to walk both to experience the scenery in the two paths, and the thing is that you can't turn back after taking one of those paths. so it'll just be a case of live life as it goes, and see what hits ya in the face.
on a sidenote... i had a nightmare of a tempo... plssss let it be a success. lolz maybe i can master fluteboxing and stun everyone. but aiyo solo is abit shameless anyway. bahhhh yes wednesday sobz so many things can go wronggg pls for once, just let everything run smoothly. like ice cubes. ok lolz random analogy.
