The only road i've ever been down

The pressure's sinking in now, which isn't a particularly promising time to give birth to a new vessel of thought for the long term. Reading back in the future, is this what i want to look back to: complaints of the SATs next week and my struggle with Further Math? I don't know what i want to be when i grow up. Which doesn't leave me with a lot of time to decide. Will i be an engineer, an architect, a lecturer or maybe an author? The future is ever so obscure but i wish i could take a glimpse into the future, if only to see if i'm happy doing whatever it is. Just like how all i need to know is that i WILL conquer Further Maths and i'll have no regrets giving it my all right now. But what if i never get it? Should i just drop it to focus on the other 3 subjects? Life would certainly be a lot more carefree. But i resist. My pride will not relent in this yet.

So this is my attempt in keeping a blog free of enigmatic phrases strung together in a convoluted mess. This is simply how i feel, whether or not it's petty, banal or twisted. Though i think sometimes i won't be able to help it, especially when i'm high with the night or for lack of a better understanding of myself.

I'm not sure exactly how i feel now about romance. I thought college would be a fresh start, with a whole new world of people who could steal my heart, but i remain unmoved. No one so much as inspires me. No one lives with such poetry that its effluent grace spills into my heart. Still, i turn back and reminisce. Something was wrong, and i cannot make it right again. And i can't go back. But she's still the best i've ever had. And so finally, i'm contently lost, eschewed from what would've been another longing. Maybe the waves have finally overcome the tombola and has left this island in peace and self-sufficiency.

It's time to work towards becoming the man i want to be. Shed away the excuses, make no apologies. Never give up, never back down.

No change, i can't change, i can't change, i can't change
But i'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold.
