"new is good but old is best."
i remember this old poem my cousin used to write in people's autograph books. you know the kind that little kids keep? yeah those kind. she wrote it in my sister's and the poem contained a line like that.
never really understood what this line meant until recently. man how long did it take? probably a decade or so. i really dont see what's so fantastic about a momentary high. the kind of feeling you get when doing something new, they call it novelty i think. after a while it dies off. and then when that good feeling's gone, you take a look around and realise that its the old things that continue to stand by you, and look you in the eye saying "didn't i tell you so?!".
but anyway, who cares right. our generation's all about feeling and what's nice and ohthisisfunletsgotryit. in the past, it was all about survival, and whether this would benefit my entire household and family and friend, and based on commitment rather than self centred-ness. now its just go with the flow. hmm.
yeah and on a separate note, trespassers are often not treated nicely. no matter how much in peace they come in, go overboard and BOOM bye bye! try it.
all this i learnt in the past couples of weeks. of course there's more but boring to type!
okay bye.
