Feeling Lucky
January 17, 2008 on 7:06 pm | In Note To Self | No Comments
Sitting in a cafe with good music in your ears at the end of a long day is one of the best feeling one could ask for. Short of spending it with your special someone, it’s like having the world just pass you by and invisible wind blow in your face telling you that you’ve earned this day.
It makes me wonder about the nature of struggles. It’s something so gut-wrenching but it’s so satisfying at the same time. Yet, if you fall too deeply in love with that feeling, you end up becoming an adrenaline junkie doing things simply for the thrill. “Fight hard” they say. But we also need to pick our battles.
I’m here.
Every day has become a momentous day for me. Each one reminding me that, ever since I made the decision to take the non-mainstream path towards my future, what I do today is truly a defining moment. Through my glasses I see a world that’s so full of hope. A world where people are excited to live. A world where people can’t wait to lunge forward towards happiness. A world that can’t wait to heal itself regardless of the cost.
Maybe it’s just the first couple of days of 2008 and i’m still filled with the optimism that this year will be a year of good things for people. Yes. I say that despite all the talks of sanctions in Iran, recession in the States, price hikes and crazy inflation in Singapore, and violence Kenya.
I’m here in a cafe.
A place that i’ve grown accustomed to since I was in my early secondary school days. A place where I found many first loves - that bittersweet taste of coffee, that bittersweet taste of romance and most recently that bittersweet taste of dreams. I think one day after achieving all that i’ve set out to achieve, all I really want is to own a coffee joint where I can hang around with the customers over a cup and maybe listen to their stories for the day. Heck, maybe they’d hear my stories too. =)
I’m here in a cafe writing and fantasizing about the days to come…
and I feel really lucky to be alive.
