无边无际

很喜欢这张在白茫垭口拍的照片。
看到照片时,我的第一感觉:
宇宙如此的大,人如此地渺小。
记得徒步雨崩时, 有一则寻人启事。

老爹说,到了雨崩,就发现生命如此脆弱。
转眼间,就消失了。

其实换个角度来看,
宇宙如此之大,无边无际,
我们真的不应该给自己设太多的局限。

原来在日常生活中,
我的心并没有想象中的大。
面对感情,事业,亲情,友情,
我都给自己太多的局限。
回过头,才发现越来越渺小。

Happiness is a state of mind。
在追求目标的当儿,
我忽略了心灵上的空虚。
原来,我所追求的并不是我所追求的。

Talking to new friends

I have to admit, I am not in the best of moods ever since I came back from Yunnan. I have been feeling down to the point I would rate myself as a mild depression. I hated the kind of motion I was going through. I felt useless and I could not give meaning to the things that I was about to undertake. All in all, I felt I was going down down down. And the fact that I was working from home made it worse because I could not meet new people, open up new perspectives. In short, I could not find people to talk to when I needed it most.

I started making new acquaintances via msn. Yes, I am a party animal. I need to talk to feel alive. By new acquaintances, I do not really mean new friends. They refer to people whom I have contact with, but I have not really sat down and talked to them seriously. Is amazng how God's creation is really. When He closed a door, He opened a window. I had a 'slight' argument with one of my gems over the problem I was facing and I realised it was difficult to relate to her how I was feeling. Somehow, when a person knows you too well, there is a lot of preassumptions and it is difficult to break it down.

The first person that came was really unexpected. It was E, one my kakis to Yunnan. Honestly, I do not know her very well. All my kakis know I had some problem with my body ever since I came back. In short, my whole body felt weak and they thought it was phyiscal. So it all started one day with E asking me if I felt better. So it turned out, the conversation turned from the physical problem to mental problem. It turned out she perfectly understood what I was going through. Maybe she did not have the preassumptions about the problem and the party involved and she was able to see the problem in a different light. I was really grateful to her. It turned out that she too was a deep thinker. However, she chose to be happy whenever she could. In the end, the chat lasted about 2-3 hours and that sort of brought us closer together.


Sometimes friendship is really a funny thing. Out of nowhere, somebody came and offered consolation and in the end, I find myself another friend. We did mention, someday we should travel together again for both of us really had so much fun with each other. Honestly, without her, the trip would not be as enjoyable as it was.

The second person that came was JY. Frankly, I was only close to JY after we left where we came from. He went on to pursue his dreams in USA and he was someone I really admired. He reminded me of my younger days. I used to have the aspirations of working in Silicon Valley, USA once I graduated. But that was just a dream and this guy really went all the way out to fulfill his childhood dreams. It was again via msn that we got closer. It was funny. Maybe during msn, I could relate myself better.

He was going through a bad patch in life when he msn me. I felt sorry for him for he was all alone in USA. He just chatted with me not too long ago, about all the wonderful pictures he painted. I guess it was just not meant to be. Somehow, all the msn sessions brought us closer together. It became quite a normal routine for us to be chatting on our daily lives and events. It ranged from perspectives on relationships to the problems/struggles we faced. Somehow we clicked. And indeed, he was one of the rare male friends that I could chat freely with. Perhaps, he was such a nice guy and always so positive and more importantly, he was far away, so there was no expectations. Despite his heartbreak, he would check on me to make sure I was feeling good. I was truly appreciative of his good intentions.

For the next two days, he would be going through something hopeful. Really, I hope he would make it this time round. At least, amidst all the bad things he was going through, there was still something good that came out of it. Perhaps, that could be the window that God has left open for him. Like what I said to him, I will be praying for him.

Sometimes when I looked back, I guess we really have to keep an eye on the people around us. You never know who you know until you try. Things in life are so unpredictable. We may get too engrossed in our past relationships / friendships that we neglect those who are ready to lend a helping hand/ ear when the occasion arises.

寻找信心

我已经迷迷糊糊地过了一个星期。
已经有一段日子, 抗拒醒来。
一醒来,我就全身无力。
然后,我告诉自己是云南的后遗症。

其实,我比谁都清楚,那是怎么一回事。
潜意识里我一直回不到现在。
我一直活在云南的日子里。
我想,我抗拒苏醒。

友人说我患上了工作恐惧症。
说我拒绝回到工作岗位上,
去做我应该做的事。

在我很努力的分析下,
我觉得我失去了生活的重心。
我,失去了信心。
我,失去了去相信的信心。
所以,我选择堕落。

信心,一件对我很重要的东西。
我永远都是那么有自信,
可是最近的我怎么了?

新的挑战,让我很彷徨。
原来要和朋友工作,是一件很难的事。
我常常要顾忌对方对我的期望,
和对自己的要求。
于是,我想如果有一天反目成仇,
陪上了一段友谊, 值得吗?

我害怕,也不敢想。
毕竟这个朋友是我一直很感激的人。
如果没有遇见这个人,
今天的我也无法走那么远。

因为有了心理的负担,
所以一直没有信心把工作做好。
友人误以为是朋友给我太多的压力。
而我多番的解释都没用,
所以心理很不舒服。

不晓得是不是因为心情低落,

人也变得脆弱。
一直很害怕眼前的一切会消失,
想捉也捉不住。
已经很久很久没有这种感觉了。

我想到我身边的人。
很怕他们都离我而去,
也怕目前的情感会改变。
于是,我想到了死亡。
那是一个很可怕的思绪。

如果这个世界上只剩我一人,
我该怎么办?
我无法承受这样的打击。

曾经和友人说过,
如果有一天我昏迷不醒,
我的家人一定不可以放弃我,
因为我有信心我一定会苏醒过来。

可是换个角度来看,
如果身边最亲的人都不在了,
生命不就没意义了吗?
那时,我还会苏醒吗?

这些可怕的想法,这几天都在脑里打转。
是因为我失去我的重心,我的信心吗?
我的斗志,到底跑到哪里了?

到现在为止,我还是没往回头看。
可是,我真的无法解释我现在的心情。
或许,我晓得许多事都在随着时间改变,
而我却无能为力。
感觉很差劲。

重生

去了神瀑回来,感觉自己重生了。
也许淋了圣水的那一刹那,
把自己都彻底地“洗”干净了。
我不是个迷信的人,
但我想借此改变一下自己。
或许,就这样可以更接近自己想成为的人。

十月一日,对我来说很特别。
我觉得那是我重生的日子。
做了一个会影响一生的决定,
我觉得是时候释怀了。
不想再提过去,不想再想会是怎么样。
不想再说是为了谁。
我想是时候为自己的决定负责。
这样,对谁都公平。

一份新的挑战,心情难免有点七上八下。
已经很久没有感受这样的压力。
有压力是好的,那才有推动力。
是有种又期待,又害怕的心理。
很矛盾的心情。

想借这个重生的机会,
改变一下自己的作风。
没耐性的个性,要改。
先入为主的个性,要改。
太爱说活,要改。

不晓得在不久的将来,
能否看到一个有耐性,主观,然后又聆听多过说活的自己?
如果有,我想我已经成为我想要成为的人了。

感谢有这次重生的机会。
