The days. How brilliantly apt a title.
I think it captures very much the way I feel about life in general. Something fleeting, mostly happy, mostly peaceful, sometimes melancholy. And perhaps, one of the most curious things is that it evokes that slight hollow I sometimes feel on the most pensive of days.
Si beh zun.

Purpose
I am still floaty having watched a compilation of photos and videos of a friend's one year trip to Ethiopia where he helped out at an orphanage. It did give me a good dose of butterflies, and jolted back memories of wanting my life to mean something.
Life has been more than good to me. And I wonder where I will be quite a many years down the road. It is so easy many a time to focus on the short term things to the extent where we seem to neglect the bigger picture.
On a side note, the events of late that have unfolded may seem to be unsavoury, but I have also begin to realised more and more what I do actually stand for. I have been experiencing quite a host of emotions the past week, ranging from being annoyed, to sad, to a tad disappointed. But I realise in all of this, I did take a risk, and if one were to permit a perhaps rather trivialising reference to investment, this one did not go too well. But I am certain I now have no regrets. At least I did give it a shot.

Unexpected
I'd thought I would be proper emo.
I'm not.
A host of other things feel my head, but I am so chillingly unaffected it casts a shade of gloom on what might otherwise be a good kind of closure. The shade of gloom comes from the fact that my ability to properly fall in love/like with someone is suspect. It was like this before, it is like this now.
The other party was guilty of being an arse. But I honestly can't be bothered. I guess I did forsee this as one of the possibilities.
Maybe I was being an arse too. I took it as a temporal soothe for what seems to be a growing desire I've been having despite the doubts continually replaying in my head.
It though, is nice that one is seemingly, and hopefully not ostensibly able to fall back into the place where we once begun.
