"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive."
I love meeting passionate people. I love talking to them. I love the light in their eyes when they go on excitedly about what they are working hard for. I love the fight. I love how driven these people are when it comes to striving for their dreams. Maybe because..I am trying to find myself in them. An article says that people of my personality type will spend a lot of time exploring social relationships, feelings and ideas before we find something that really rings true. And when we do find our place in the world, our imagination, empathy, and courage are likely to produce incredible results. These words encourage me so much, you know. They lead me to believe that I am not wasting my life away experimenting different things when I could have been set on a fixed path already. Sometimes I think of all the alternate lives I could be leading right now. If I had trained hard for floorball and made my way to the national team, I would have been part of the SEA champion team with a shiny golden medal hanging around my neck. If I had chosen bio over history back in Sec4, I could be doing medicine now. Wait. What if I am not me at all, but someone else? Like when I see strangers on the train and bus, I often wonder what stories are hiding within those human body shells. There are so many what-ifs in this world. But I guess this quote is right: "There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one." I just have to make the best out of my one and only life. Right now, there are really a lot of food piling on my plate. Many kinds of food. I call the things I have to do "food" because food is love and love is what I enjoy doing now. This summer is zooming by fast and in a month's time, I will be off for the next adventure of a lifetime. As much as I feel that I am over-stretching myself now, I have never felt freer. I really want to make use of the remaining time to be the best I can be.
I feel small but I won’t take nothing less Let’s go grab some world
