Also: your currency is bound to collapse if you steal your fonts from Rock Band.

I thought, ‘Yeah, I knew about their currency..’ But then I saw the font.. OMG

I typed different paragraphs about 3 times already, and none of them survived to be published.

I tried to write about faith, but since it’s a sensitive matter and there are too many stereotypes around us, I ended up deleting it. The truth is everyone does get scared when they are being judged.

So I tried to talk about best friend, but since I have zero experience on that I figured maybe I shouldn’t write that. *and I’ve read this line for a dozen time and still thinking the reasons why, or to put words on it.

So I figured out maybe someone out there, I don’t know who they are, would like to read my self description, just to get out of their routines, or something they do out of the blue. But no, I ended up wordless in describing myself.

But alas, my mental demands me to post something today.

The Loneliest Whale in the World.
In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.

I nearly cried reading this. I want to hug her and tell her that she’s not lonely..

Self reflection.

Posted 8 months ago

*actually this is the last part that I wrote. I put it here just to give warning that this is my self reflection and I have to post it to really reflect on myself. I think I have minor OCD.

Why do I feel so misplaced?
Why do I feel so unstable?
This is not just some random post about unstable adolescent freaking out, searching for their true self. No. It’s me, it’s worse.
There is no meaningful achievement I’ve ever gained.
I never made it to be the first in the class.

But..

I always knew there’s some great potential resting in my soul, flowing in my blood, waiting to be awakened, to say it with cliché.

Now I REALLY have to buy that one book I saw earlier at Times.
Ugh it’ll cost me my a**

I have a friend that now, I just realized it that I admire her.

You see, I’m interested in learning new languages. Be it Italian, French, or Japanese, and the one that I’m currently busy with, Korean (yes, I’m a fangirl LOL).

But the biggest problem that I’m facing right now is consistency. This won’t be a big deal if I joined a course, of course (hey that rhymes). Since joining a course means you’re ‘engaged’ and responsible with it. But since I’m learning this new language individually, I always feel that I could do this another time, but in fact I couldn’t.

And this leaves me abandoned, unskilled, and pathetic.

But this friend of mine, she’s able to speak the foreign language, even writing the alphabets, fluently. She said she’s been learning this language since elementary school, and so I thought, ‘still doing it ‘till now? Must be consistency, and passion’. I know I got the passion, but it’s useless without real action.

So the bottom line is?

Hard work.

Let me get back to those books.
