I am back from a trip that I didnt really want to go in the 1st place.
It was an ok trip, but work is work is work. There's only THAT much fun on a work trip.
I am just affected by the implications and repercussions of this trip.
I know that some things are not within my control. Where do I draw the line between work and play? Where do I draw the line between necessity and optional? Where do I draw the line between obligation and friendship?
I hate the feeling of that I might have let someone down. I hate more the feeling that my past efforts have done down the drain. I hate most the feeling that my time could have been spent better.
Job done. Not appreciated. Never mind. Not acknowledged. Never mind. Getting undeserved lorry-load of shit. Unacceptable.
Whats worse, its unfair to someone else who has done a great job, and yet made to feel the unnecessary pressure of always trying to measure up.
I do see a lot of things clearer now, after the trip.
I understand what Boss said. I know what his concerns are. But I also believe that if he was in my position, he would feel exactly the same way.
Moral of the story : You never know when your time is up.
I'd admit I am a little shaken.
What if it was me who was struck by lightning? Damn it, it would be cos of work that I was there. So not worth it.
What if it was my dad or bro who was struck by lightning? The last thing I said to my dad was "Can I use the car tonite?" I cant remember the last thing I said to my bro. Only that I saw him yesterday.
Life's short.
We should all make 1 change to make our lives better today.
Dont proscrastinate.
Just 1 change.
But then again, fuck that.
It doesnt matter in the end cos life ends anyway.
Just be happy.
Yes. Thats all that matters.
And treasure all your loved ones.

Just because you can It doesn't mean you should Just because you can It doesn't make it good Just because you can It doesn't mean you should Just because you can
I felt that colour in my head (4x) Oooh right before she said
Just because you can It doesn't mean you should Just because you can It doesn't make it good Just because you can It doesn't mean you should Just because you can
It was fun though...thats all that matters. Really.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must. Depression is rage spread thin. Loneliness is the poverty of self; Solitude is the richness of self. Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got.
