Are you special? (Part I)

Scroll down to the last part for summary kay O.O

Have I ever tell you anecdotes about my life? About all the little things that matters, all the risk taken, the youth gambled, and the life that I missed out in order to take the road less taken. Sounds a bit familiar to your life perhaps?

Whether you are a fervid hobbyist who is destined to carry the flag of #YOLO legacy, or you are one whose youth had been impoverished by hours and nights of career building. Have you ever wondered whether all these history-making moment are not exactly just an excuse for us to escape boredom and loneliness?

Did we followed the footpath of general social media, to capture all the beauty of cafes, to drink all the good coffees in the world, to do all the extreme sports to feel unique, to travel to different country in search of life, to be the hipster who are ever so ready to take on the world, but are never ready to take on a commitment. A mortgage, marriage, career plan, children, the dreams of not yours but the one who raised you up -- your very own parents.

Oh or perhaps you are the one on the other shore -- ka-ching! nuff' said.
Money buys time, time to daydream, time to travel, time to spent with family, and it buys flight tickets too,
property, insurance, saving plans, and that includes your favorite watch or handbag.
Let's go with the simple formula and take the 'safer path', or we can pretend to be young by doing both! We can climb the corporate ladder, earn ample amount of income, and spent it as if we are random refugee who started poor and shook the world by accomplishing something great.

Anyhow, we just wanted to prove to ourselves that we are more than what we are.

But are we ever any less than what we are supposed to be?

Or if you are the dreamer who are lost, the faithful sailor of the Ship of fools, here's the question to be asketh, Does your emotion matters? Does your opinion matters? Does being perfect matters?




Me? I will still stubbornly hold into this principle, of sharing attitude but not emotion, sharing experience and wisdom but not self-opinion nor self-esteem, sharing a little thoughts in this article, and that's the best I can manage, for now.

TL;DR? (Too Long, Dont want to Read?)
Nah it's just random rambling of an old guy. That's all xD

Rant of the day: why does everyone let themselves be defined by anything else other than themselves? The society, the trends, the forcibly infused dreams, the artificial sense of proud and self-esteem, money, and... attention.
