Reality and Dreams
I was thinking upon the subject of dreams and of reality today.
Anyway, whoever said anything is great about reality? In reality, you must face your regrets, you must face your mistakes, and you must persevere through every strenuous, trying moment of your life. In reality, you cannot remedy the wrongs and problems of your life. In reality, the world is not the kindest place to exist and humans...

Dedication to my origins...to my father.
If there ever was a human being, I admire and respect most in the entire world it is my father. He is not university educated, he does not possess the most prestigious job, he is certainly not the wealthiest of men and he is not perfect. But whoever informed you that education, position, monetary value and perfection are the most important things in the world happens to be 100% wrong. If the...
Offensive or Defensive.
I hate to use sports as an analogy for life—truly I do, believe me—but for the topic of interest on my presently exhausted mind, I have decided to succumb to taking the easy way out. In many team sport games, there are people designated to play the offensive as well as the defensive. In reality, if one remains on an essentially superficial level, people can categorized into groups of...
Words
It’s been quite a drought since I’ve been able to structure complete sentences for the purpose of having a blog. My old blog had extremely intense poems with vivid visuals and I confess that for a long duration of time, I’ve been worrying that I’ve been gradually losing my affinity with words and sentences that are heavy with sentimental value. In fact, during that interim...

Leaving Eden-Anne D. LeClaire
So, being the habitual creature that I am, abiding by my predictable routine, I decided to take a bath and bring in a book with me. Towards the end of my bath, I encountered that lovely quote and immediately began an inquisition….a self-inquisition, if I may. Is that true or untrue? Do...
Cooler Than Me
Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have become a socially inept creature over the duration of high school. Not that I’m implying that I happen to dwell at the bottom of the social bucket, but I simply have forgotten or lack the skills that I had once, in a past life, possessed. I entered university with the high hopes that I would easily connect with other people. However, I...

Fatal fears
Well, I initially intended for this blog to have introspective thoughts but I thought the birth of my blog could be celebrated with a short anecdote first. So visualize, three lanes. Heading west. The third lane throughout the course of the daytime is often used as a place for cars to park. So a silver van pulls into the middle lane. You are in the furthest lane (however, there is a single left...
