Monologous Discourse #1

Three days from now, I might lose my sleep.

Finally, after what has been a six month hiatus from academia, starts a new expedition to scale a more daunting height. The outcome of which would effectively, directly and certainly affect and decide my future university.

It has been, reflectively, a brief yet complicated six months of self-discovery and soul-searching. Sadly, the journey has not been fruitful. The writer feels as confused as he had been two years ago as now. To the writer's undeveloped mentality, he feels that one should clearly identify one's Purpose in life. What is your purpose? Someone is quoted as saying, "a good person strives to satisfy himself; a great person strives to make society a better place to live in". The language is clear, the meaning vague. How does one make society a better place to live in? Who should we benefit? And by what means?

One principle the writer believes in is the wisdom that to succeed in life, "one should play to their strengths". Again, simple language. But a quiet moment of reflection quickly and almost inevitably yields that not all of us can identify our own strengths and weaknesses with authoritative clarity. Do you know what your natural talents are?

As you can see, my writing has deteriorated shamefully. The arguments I present are disjointed. Happily, this shall change three days later, as I embrace a (cliché!) new chapter of my life.
Occasional cheesiness does find its way into my writings, another thing that shall change!

Whatever happens, my studies shall come first. Music second. Love can come later, if at all.

This might change.

Goodnight!
