That said, I still feel very much like 18 though. I guess some people actually become more mature and responsible as they age and some *ahem* just, though I very much hate to admit this, age physically.
What does growing up actually mean other than learning through experiences? People always say," I've tasted more salt than you.", but "taste more salt" so what? You're more prone to kidney failure? Does "tasting more salt" even mean that you know any better? Maybe that's why we actually get more afraid of everything and become more cynical as we age, thinking that the world is an awful place. Coz we read about accidents and crime in newspapers and we remember the bad experiences we had. Newspapers ain't gonna keep writing about good things that happened or kind acts, that's probably why they say "no news is good news". And people just tend to remember the bad things over the good because hurt leaves a deeper impact than happiness I guess.
Thankfully, for some reason I remember the good. While this may be bad when trying to forget someone, it actually really makes me appreciate life and be totally contented. Of course, that's also coz my life is really quite awesome. The bad thing is, I don't seem to learn from my mistakes and I'm so contented that I don't feel the need to push myself harder. So I guess I'm gonna have to try to balance it out abit, be a little wary of things and also strive to achieve more (but I'm very contented where I am nowwwwww).
Which brings me to.. I'M GONNA START A NEW BLOG!
Recently some kind friends have been encouraging me to write more so I wrote a post and sent it to Thought Catalog and 2 other Singapore sites. One of them rejected it, the other didn't even reply and after 2 weeks when I thought all hope was lost, I received an email from Thought Catalog!
I was deliriously happy! Though that has since died down and I'm feeling like maybe anyone who sends stuff there can get published, it has been a major motivation to me to keep writing and not to forget my passion!
I didn't wanna continue using this blog coz the name is kinda kiddish (yes I'm aware but cut me some slack, I started it almost a decade ago!) and I didn't wanna delete it either coz there's alot of memories in here. So,
Anyways, new address is pinkmistsg.blogspot.com!
Ok, I know you guys must be thinking like wtf is the difference and how is that name not even kiddish but people have told me that the baby sounds like some ah lian and it wasn't even supposed to be baby in an ah lian way! It was supposed to be babypink like the COLOUR!! Now you know.
