Moi
So here's a belated introduction of myself. I'm writing this only so that you can probably identify with some of the BS that I'll be throwing up on this blog in the future. That apart, it's also an exercise of self-discovery; I'm hoping that, for the sake of writing a "true" post, I'll identify things about myself that I would have otherwise not introspected into. So, here goes, in the random order that this comes to my head:
- I'm mostly honest.
- "mostly" because I have quite a conscience. I lie only when I'm sure that my conscience will not nag me like my mom.
- I love my friends. I'm probably attached to them more than I am to my family. I have a number of small sets of friends, all equally dear/important to me.
- I want to believe that I can write. Poetry or otherwise, I enjoy when I'm able to be creative (only IMO) with my writing. That said, often when I read later what I write, I laugh at my amateurishness.
- I think a lot. Every night, before sleeping, I think about many people, many friends. Many of those nights, I come up with some message, some piece of my mind that I would like them to read in the morning. It may be about me, about them or about nothing at all, but I like them to know. This blog will serve as a home to those messages.
- I don't read. No fiction, no non-fiction, no educational. No books. That leaves the internet as my only source of learning. And even there I struggle to get through a complete article. This is one of the rare things in my life that I regret.
- I don't regret. I'm waay beyond that. It started off as a conscious effort, but now it's just innate. So the only things that I regret are A. I couldn't attend my 5 year school reunion. 2. I'm not greatly attached to family. 3. I don't read.
- I'm fat; well, I'm at least on my way there. I'm surely unhealthy. I eat lots of crap, lots of times. I really do need to do something about it soon.
- I'm single. I really could use some company.
- I'm very optimistic, very positive. And I'm very proud of that. These qualities have gotten me out of a lot of sh*t. The reason I'm proud of it is because this is one of the few things in my life that I've achieved with practice. It gives me a sense of fulfillment, a satisfaction of sorts. Contentment.
- I believe in God. Rather, I believe in a force, an energy that powers and controls everything. I was quite religious all my life, until probably a couple of years back, say, since I started working. I would still like to believe I'm religious, but I cannot say that with certainty. I also do not know why I wish to be religious; it might be naivety, but I don't care; that's what I want.
Well, that's what I can come up with. Turns out I didn't surprise myself with stuff I didn't already know. I am sure, however, that there are a lot more aspects to me that are not in the list above. They may or may not come out in my blog posts in the future, who knows?!
