Look inward

The one bitter truth about life is, it does not stop to wait for anyone. The world is spinning, people are moving on, and you still find yourself stuck somewhere. And you watch as the world passes by without you, leaving you behind. And it's not because you cannot keep up, you don't want to. It's because you need to be stationary for awhile. You need to stop, to rest your feet, to rejuvenate yourself, and most importantly, to stabilize yourself. In this process, it is only easy to be lured into moving forward because that is what everyone else is doing. "Why am I still here?". You peer out. The world is still the same without you. The world goes on. People are walking, people are passing you by, people are moving on.

Block all the external noise out and focus on yourself. And look inward. Look within yourself. That's where you need to go.

Tell yourself, that this journey is yours, and yours alone. And it never should have been measured against the external world. So look inward.

This consciousness became more obvious since secondary school. And it was tough and painful.  I've been in a sports CCA since secondary school and I couldn't really avoid not becoming tanned. What hurts the most was even my peers at that time would make comments about my skin colour without even realising the damage caused from these words. These comments I recall, were sometimes made under the guise of humour. I was called 'budak hitam' (literally means 'black child') and even ...

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
