So I'm aware that this blog is mostly going nowhere - as in feedback wise. I don't think it's such a bad thing, actually. After all, recently there've been things that I've needed to just get off my chest, but not in a notebook or stuff like that; and I'm pretty sure they're not very interesting. Heh.

On to business! Recently I've been rather blue. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the exams, maybe it's stress, maybe I'm ill, maybe it's all the reports I've read recently on the gay students committing suicide because of homophobic pressure at home and in school. Don't get me wrong, I do not take sides when it comes to one's orientation. However, when it comes to human lives..

Okay, maybe I am not qualified to speak my views on this subject, but here's my two cents worth anyway for whoever thinks it's important. I think that human lives are precious, that it's really a shame when people are pressured by whatever reason to take their lives away - to be able to experience life, is that not a beautiful, wonderful thing, regardless of how harsh or ruthless it is to us?

As to the student who jumped off the bridge because of what his roommate did; I have only regret that such a terrible invasion of privacy had been forced on him. It is a constitutional right for humans to be entitled to their own privacy, no? The fact that he decided to end his life early because of this right being taken away from him - it just makes me really sad, and more determined to make the most out of the gifts and opportunities I've been given so that I don't end up missing out on the experiences life can offer me.

That, of course, means that I'm trying my best to work hard, do well and excel in school; make life easier financially on my parents (school fees don't come cheap, now); spur my small brother on the awesomeness for his upcoming major exams and to have fun with people I enjoy being around! :D

It also means taking what I've been keeping inside me for a while out in the open for myself to reflect on, and to decide if it's really worth bearing the burden. Sigh. It's been bugging me for a while, and it's been reflected in my writing! ): It's so awful, and it feels terrible and icky and slimy and leech-like.


Therefore, I conclude, in considerably happier spirit: ONWARD! (victory yell)
