Just feel like typing again.
So it seems like I'll only blog once every year or so, looking back at my previous posts, I realised I'm a different person from who I was when I wrote those. Some things change, some things still remain the same. Mostly my pessimism about life in general.
At this time of writing, I am currently a NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) The glorious life of being a bum, freeloading off my mum. I wonder how I'll feel the next time I decide to look back at this blog and remember the time I was living the life. LOL.
And hopefully, by the time I return, I would have some accomplishments. One of which would be to find a girlfriend, something I struggle with since puberty. Another thing I hope I would have done is getting a degree, or in process of getting one. Not that it's impossible to work in Singapore or anywhere else without one. It's just something good to have, something nice on the resume.
Not everyone gets to go to a large company with huge benefits and amazing starting pay. Not everyone performs top of the class and gets a scholarship. Not everyone performs incredible at work and impresses their boss. There's always the average joe, there's always someone like me. Some things are just out of the normal person's reach. Sure some of these 'normals' get it if they try hard enough, but then they won't be considered normal if they succeed. Because the act of succeeding makes that 'abnormal' or 'above average'.
Enough about that. On a lighter note, I'm really afraid of death. I mean, have you really considered death. And since I find the idea of an afterlife a bit hard to believe, all thats left is nothing. Nothingness. Just nothing, this self-aware consciousness that represents me will cease to exist. I guess that's also the biggest dividing point for individuals.
To say that these two people are separate individuals is to say they have separate consciousness. Even though our body is made of millions (could be more, I r not biololologist) of cells, each cell is alive. Some possibly able to live outside the body in a petri dish or something. And yet the entire body, with the same genetic code is classified as one person, that one consciousness. All the atoms in the universe are like some way, in contact with one another. Like how I'm in contact with the floor and the floor is in contact with the earth and the earth is in contact with hydrogen in space and everyone else is also in contact with the earth. Our separation of atoms takes place at the individual level. If ever there's a way to link minds together as one giant consciousness, then individual people will just be another cell in the grand network. Hmm... but what about non living things, how did we come to separate them. Feel free to let me know what you think, I haven't exactly given it much thought and research.
Back to the topic about death. There is a part of us that lives on, and that'll be our genetic code. We could say all of us are the same living thing, just going down different paths. And to be honest, really. No one will give a damn if I die. If someone I knew passed away. I'll feel sad, knowing that the person is no longer with us, his/her time has expired. He/she can no longer... experience. Which brings me to another point, what does it mean to live?
All these questions I've asked myself over and over. And I always end up at the same conclusion. The only troublesome part is I have to go through the questions & answer phase in my head. The conclusion I always end up with is "Be happy." Life will end. So just do what makes you happy.
And I hope if anyone out there stumbles across this hellhole of a site. Be happy, live your life the way you want to.
