I'll just try to do it more, if that's okay with you.<br /><br />I may not have the power to make you forget what you've read.<br /><br />But I can always encourage you to look past it and let me come as I am, if that's okay with you.<br /><br />I may not like you to compare.<br /><br />I'm treating you the best, so there really isn't much to compare, if that's okay with you.<br /><br />I wish I could press a button, turn back time, and not have all those things that make you upset.<br /><br />But yesterday's history.

Investing in yourself? There are no bonds/stocks to be traded here, no deals to be closed. How do you "invest in yourself"?<br /><br />Basically, what it means is to better yourself in a multitude of ways. Pick up a new sport, learn a musical instrument, read about something you never thought you'd read -- things that make you a better person each day.<br /><br />---- ---<br /><br />It's time to invest in yourself, Sean.

That is how I know I'm improving.<br /><br />I must keep fit and eat more fruits.<br /><br />I must love my girlfriend more.<br /><br />I must have a decent-sized book by the end of the year.<br /><br />And the biggest (and also the most ironic) "must" of all,<br /><br />I must not put too much pressure on myself.<br /><br />After all I've mentioned, adding in a pressure-inducing statement to mitigate all the other pressures isn't exactly an effective measure is it?<br /><br />Now that got me thinking -- whoever said doing a "must" should be pressurising?<br /><br />I'll always have the choice to have fun, but it seems I respond better to obligation, although having fun ensures less stress, less boredom, less humdrum and less frustration if the above "musts" are not fulfilled.<br /><br />Why am I driven by obligation?<br /><br />I love this time of the night. It seems like all the clever one-liners are queueing up for the 1pm show.<br /><br />"If we were to play a game, and if I had to be a flying bird, I'd be a penguin.

It becomes a prison instead, slave to my reasoning; my logic; my flaws in those areas; and ultimately, I become eternally trapped. A jail of delusion and grandeur, much like schizophrenia. I worry myself with these self-diagnoses sometimes.<br /><br />Perhaps I do think too much. Perhaps, there is such a thing as over-planning -- which eventually leads to the argument of "nothing is ever good in excess".<br /><br />Words like "more", "less", "very", "a little" complicate the complex feelings we already have.<br />"I'm slightly affected" does not weigh less than "I'm heavily affected" when it comes to emotions. When one is affected, he simply is; if not, then he is not.<br /><br />Emotions are not like paint splatters on the wall. When you feel, you feel it all. That is why emotions are powerful forces of creation and, unfortunately, destruction.<br /><br />Only a fool tries to measure his pleasure and pain. Such a fool I am.<br /><br />This post is also an exercise in punctuation and succinctness, after being inspired by "Effective Writing Skills For Public Relations".<br /><br />I'm tapping out. The grey areas of the human psyche are much harder to manage than I imagined.<br /><br />P.S. I love you. :)<br /><br />P.P.S.

Yes, I really think I would've.<br /><br />Considering how ailing medical conditions always fascinate me, I find it hard to swallow that I didn't think about working hard to become one. Or perhaps it's just the six years of biology study that brainwashed me into thinking I am fascinated by stuff like that.<br /><br />Either way, it's too late now. There is no effin' way I can slog myself into med school. Even if I could, I'd be a doctor by 40.

Change my mindset, change my attitude, revamp and refurbish my thoughts and thought processes, defragment my neural pathways, and start getting focused on everything else but the past.

I don't remember feeling this much sadness in a long time. Maybe this is the result of rapid change. Maybe it's upset that's long overdue. Maybe it's upset that I've repressed over the years, and it's finally let out of the cage. Sometimes it feels so bad I just want to send myself over the balcony and plunge into bliss.<br /><br />And the shooting pain running through my heart isn't helping either. Feels like with every 5 breaths, there's a chance for a seizure.<br /><br />Somebody just take me away, please. I'm too sensitive for my own good.<br /><br />Why am I so hard to get along with? Why??? Have I changed at all? I just can't seem to please the people I love. Why is that? Why is life so cruel?<br /><br />I think I'm losing it. I should try to sleep.<br /><br />When I get upset, I get withdrawn, like the agitated mimosa. Why is that? Why can't I just talk about it and let the upset slide? Why do I hold so much pain in me? Who designed me like this?<br /><br />GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />Now I feel like a little kid. I guess this part of me really never grew up. Along with many other parts of me, just like Sandy said.<br /><br />Are there parts of me that are mature, at all?
