Pretty little mistakes...

It's been such a long time since I posted. I don't suppose anyone really misses my little blog anyway ;).

Not a very eventful two months. Had a trip here and there, enjoyed life as any college student should. I finished reading a book called "Pretty Little Mistakes" awhile back, which was very interesting and thoughtful. You go through the book much like a game book: Make a decision, move on to the next page, find out the ending. The decisions you make in life might see you ending up as a drug dealer, a rape victim, or even a butterfly farmer.

Just like the book, our decisions will determine the course of our lives, except we make decisions all the time. Shall we go left or right? Up or down? Arts or Sciences? Chicken or beef? Coke or Pepsi? Sometimes the smallest decision could change our life forever. Perhaps, for once, instead of skipping this class we find an inspiration, an idol, a dream that we want to live up to. Perhaps, maybe, we'll go on a random car ride and end up in the hospital. Perhaps, just for fun, we'll start hanging out with that lonely-looking Asian kid and someday be best friends with the wealthiest man in the world.

Perhaps, just because, we'll compliment someone on their hair and save them from suicide.

There are so many decisions in life. Unlike the book, we can't turn the pages back and see "what if?". We just have to accept that things happen, and we move on. It's a shame that we can't, but I guess it makes things for the better. Life is unpredictable, you might as well be as random as you can.

Mankind always wonders what life would be like if we always made the best decisions. Life's greatest joys and worst tragedies come from the strangest of places and the most far-off reasons.

Why worry? Life is worth living for, always.
