well, in the end, i didn't play starcraft II, but i'm so very glad that i didn't.
well, in the end, while (kind of) facebook stalking i came across a blog of a friend.
i've always appreciated good reading materials and her writings are well, to say good reading material would be an understatement.
she took knowledge and inquiry and literature at 'a' levels, and is currently reading law after all, and in terms of writing, she is ahead of me, hands down (not that i'm very good myself, just giving an example).
she writes with a flair that engages, an intelligence that challenges, and an honesty that is most startling.
everything that i try to be here, only better.
and it made for a most thought-provoking and reflective read that had me going on till about now.
what was interesting was how she went through very recently, what i've had to go through - twice - and her ruminations of all that happened.
and then, we both came to a similiar conclusion. i shall not go into detail here - this is her affair after all - but what really struck me was how we all go through the same difficulties, the same trials, the same challenges no matter who we are. no matter how 'in control' we are of our lives (she was writing about how little the sphere of our control really is, something that i had written the previous post) and no matter how 'good' we are (if we were to run the 3 's' rule over her - smart, sweet and sexy - she'd score a pretty comfortable 'a').
i've been forgetting some of my lessons learnt, i think i've been getting back into my comfort zone, i think i've been taking things for granted.
and it is time to get off my ass and back on my feet.
