written last december; and again this is what i'm feeling right now:you know the thing about making connections and then losing connections?
sometimes i think i'm so nonchalant about losing connections, that i don't even bother to re-connect them. so when one asked today, "you're quite used to people coming by and leaving huh?" i just kinda nodded and smiled, and replied, "well, isn't everyone like this?"
no matter how much effort you try to salvage a form of friendship, sometimes everything gets watered down, and everything just gets a bit bland from all the old jokes and jibes and banter, and everything will somehow look as if they are in a monochrome. or a black and white.
i used to have closer friends. but somehow along the way, we've all grown up, our priorities took centrestage, i'm more watered down than before, more nonchalance on the surface, and more uncertainty. on the other side of the world, everyone grew to become more certain of what they were, who they actually were, and went ahead to becoming themselves. a process of self-actualizing took place, everyone evolved, and i decided that i would rather sit at where i was and watch the world go pass.
gone were the days when i actually fought so hard for something.
i know i've lost the streak in me.
and then everything just went into bnw.
but we all move on, and here i am, lamenting at how screwed i am at reconnecting.
it's true. i cannot reconnect with people i've lost along the way, people whom i've lost trust in, people whom i thought i knew, but now i don't; it's a pity watching them like this, because we are all in this stupid process of finding ourselves, and perhaps it will take us an entire lifetime to do so.
without finding ourselves eventually.
