these are some of rawest emotions and thoughts on graduation.
it is only upon graduation that one understands the meaning of independence. upon graduation, i have come to realise that we are now on our own. at least i feel i am. i know i still have my family for support, no doubt about that- what i mean is, friends seems so superficial and worthless. (some friends at least). well after graduation i suddenly feel the distance that i have between my very own classmates whom i thought were my best buds. well i thought i am well loved. actually i do think that i am not hated. but today, something struck me when i was with my friends : although i am not hated, i am also not much loved. people don’t mind me around. they enjoy the occasional joke i crack. they enjoy my cranky psycho-analysis. or the weird gibberish i sometimes mutter when things seem cold or just plain odd. but today i’ve seen that i’m indispensable. to be more specific, what i mean in this context is that, whether i do all those stuff above, my absence will make only an insignificant impact. they can get along fine, have almost just as much fun without the almighty fabian ong. SURE it’d be cool if fabian hung around to guard the bags. sure it’d be nice for cute fabian in his cute outfit to be seen with a bunch of guys and girls. sure it’d be nice if fabian was here to split the bill, but the fact of the matter is, if fabian wasn’t here, it probably wouldn’t matter.
a sense of isolation gripped me at the post prom party. the moment i left the hotel, i thought i made the right choice. i wanted to go to DXO for the CJ post prom party. I WANTED. and i went. but the moment i stood in the cab line with them, i knew i was in for something unpleasant that night. and in the dxo was where i realised and got to experience the above paragraph. i realised that its not that people are selfish or that they can’t give more thought for you, it’s just that, they are contented with taking care of themselves, and as long their actions don’t directly harm you, they’ll carry on.
Now i’ve realised that sometimes, actually most of the times, I should do what makes me happy. so when people ask me: do i wanna do this or that and why? my reply would be yes/no because
I LIKE LOR!
what i currently feel is that, doing what makes u feel happy at the present moment, will most likely feel happy after the act. regret is less likely to bug you even if you have sinned because you know that ure heart, mind and body all acted in unison when you did what u did. only by making one’s self happy can he/she make others happy. so the next time you see fabian not feeling happy, it’s not really bcos he’s not happy himself, maybe it’s because he feels happier making others happy at his own expense? is fabian silly or “ACTING” noble? fabian is merely trying to make himself happy. =D
i feel so much better now…
