desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Damn. I can't clearly see the sensible reason behind my insomia. Or in other words, my stubborness to stay awake. Well I can see my own reason to stay awake though. Well, I dont need to state the obvious. I know you know what Im referring to.

I know.. I know.. Im being stubborn again. Ive been told to at least sleep early.. early for me anyway. I don't know why. But I really am enjoying reading those. Majority of our Christmas break have been dedicated on that particular activity which I havent quite enjoyed years back.

Now, I can't stop myself from doing it. After reading one fanfic I tend to crave for another one. I dont care if its over a hundred pages. I actually welcome those novel-type fanfics. It has been a part of me already. Part of my being actually. And once you break the connection its hard to do things you normally do. Yes, it's simple weird.. absurd if you would prefer that.

I want to do things normal for a change. Normal for me anyway. Ive been staying in front of this pc for too long now. I must really detach myself from reading. Now, I can hardly acknowledge the world around me. The world which I forced myself not to take part in. The world which is starting to have an unfamiliar aura to it. The world that I took for granted.

I really should try and be normal for a change.
