1. We all grow up whether we want to or not. The saying goes, "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional", yet in a society that moves at 100mph it's hard not to get caught in the currents.
2. Sometimes you have to look out for yourself rather than others and take a break from things; after all, even God took a day off.
3. For every 2 steps forward you take, make a note of what you had to go through to get there. Being able to look back at one's past is one of the most important ways to prevent the repetition of mistakes.
4. Know your bounds and continue to push them. Stagnancy and laziness are the plague of our society, so it is up to us to invoke the change we wish to see.
And on a more personal note,
5. I still miss you. It hasn't quiet been a year, but it has been long enough to make me realize what I gave up on. I'm glad that we're still able to talk, though recently it has just made me miss you more. Then again, I don't even know if you still read this.

So much can happen in so little time it's unbelievable. It's like being trapped in a tornado of timelessness where the only possible way out is to endure the crap being whirled around in the storm. And it can take a toll on you after a while, even if it hasn't been 24 hours. Sometimes, it's more than just the physical aspect that has a significant impact upon you; poor mental health can affect you as much if not more than a bodily injury.
It is as such that we, as humans, need time to step back and revisit what is important to us, who is important to us, and why we are here. Now I'm not saying we must delve so deep into the philosophical realm as to deduce what the meaning of our existence is, but instead come up with justification as to why we do the things we do and the reasons why we have become who we are today. Know yourself before you know others, and set off in whichever direction you choose with steadfast dedication and an understanding as to why you have chosen that path. Know where you want to go, and strive to get there; after all, we cannot change the footprints left behind us, but we can open new pathways. Go find your fairytale ending, and just maybe I'll see you there.

I am currently a graduate student studying education and will update my thoughts and experiences here periodically. Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings.
All of the best,
BK
