my teachers used to read my journal entries in front of the class when i was in grade school and high school. they said i always had the most creative entries and they wanted to encourage the rest of the class to write as i do. i miss english class. i've known for a long time that english was my favorite and best subject. i miss reading and dissecting literature, writing, writing and just writing. i have not been doing any creative writing for a long, long time. i've been so caught up with the flow of the world. which is profoundly sad.

steve jobs died today. i consider him one of the most creative minds of our time. and although i only own a piece of his creations, i have a lot to be thankful for. he recreated technology, communication, music and animation like nothing before. i believe that mankind has gone a long way because of his brilliance. too bad cancer had to take him away. all good things (and people) must come to an end after all.

yesterday, at work, i suddenly came upon this heavy realization that i am not happy anymore. i looked around my workplace and i realize that sickness, death and grief are not things/feelings i want to associate for a long time. it pains me to realize this over and over again because i know this is not something i can choose to escape easily.

we don't always have to take the short cuts in life. i'm on the longest road on the map and i'm taking my time.

delicious ambiguity.
