Associate not with the fools, but only the wise.

Okay, scrape the previous post. As usual please do excuse my melodramatic caught-in-the-moment pourings of my feelings.

Anyway, looking back in time, I've realized that I'm changing quite a bit, for better or worse I've yet to decide.
Friends whom I were close to in secondary school, or that part of my life in general the teens, I've mostly chosen to drift apart from. Reason being, maybe I didn't agree with some of the choices they've made in their lives, or simply the priorities they choose to chase in life. Some, either I couldn't help, or be bothered to even try and talk sense into them because who am I? Just because I grew up with different values doesn't mean what I fight for is necessarily good and right, so it was better to distance myself than cause unnecessary rift/squabbles.

Bloggers, icons whom I've somewhat idolized have also been a thing of the past, what's most telling about their priorities in life are the subjects of what they take (usually in instagram photos). And I no longer aspire to be like most of them, do what they're doing, chasing.

I've also taken a somewhat critical judgement of people in general, summing them up in about 4 hours worth of interaction and deciding subconsciously whether I would want to be close to them even. I guess this batch of friends or acquaintances I've made in university have been carefully chosen by me, and have similar ideals.

However this has also resulted in my being less close to them, after all, I've come to take it seriously that studying well is my only duty as a daughter, and most other things take a step back in priority. I do enjoy my alone-time, family time or facetiming the boy in the privacy of my room straight after lessons.

I do miss those carefree times back in secondary school and wouldn't change a bit of it despite the distance between that group of friends now, but our priorities were different then, and I wouldn't be who I am today without them either.

I don't know if this is just a mindless rant in a bid to procrastinate further but hey, at least I'm facing the ugly moments of growing up in a calm and matured manner.

The world so big, and who am I to feel entitled to anything. All I can do is give, give and give more back to society.

Blah. Shall end it with a picturevomit of some pictures I took in japan in May.
