Compromise
*The past week or so has been crazy busy. A sudden wave of depression and bouts of loneliness prevented me from blogging over the weekend. Now that I'm finally off the blues, I can blog a little methinks*
Well, I have been thinking about a lot of things lately, and the more I think about these things the more assured I am that life's becoming a compromise more than anything else. As a child, I was the idealist. Everything had to be perfect, like picture perfect. There were never two ways about doing something right. Never a second though about doing whatever it took to get something I wanted. But as the years have passed, I have changed. And how much! It seems to me as though my entire life has now become a mere compromise.
The job I have isn't my first choice, dream job. The place I live in, isn't particularly a heavenly home. The people I live with are definitely not my first class friends. The people I meet are not the people I really want to meet. The food I eat is not something I choose to eat. Nothing, and by that I mean, nothing is going the way I want it to. Everything seems like a compromise. The big things, the small things, everything. And that just simply frustrates me to no end. I wish I could do something to change these things, to turn myself back to the idealist who would fight for her dreams, come what may!

Jus wondering if you have seen the movie "Dead Poets Society" ? Carpe Deim .. :) still believe .. that you can change things .. the way you wish them to be .. will take a bit of effort and a lotta spirit .. :) but you can do it .. coz things can get better .. but with an effort ..
God : People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is that they have the power. You want to see a miracle? Be the miracle.
-- from the movie Bruce Allmighty
Carpe Diem, ha.. These things are so much easier said than done, don't you think? But yes, I'm not going to be fretting and frowning forever, the cheerful karizma will be back, I promise :)
