Like a turtle in its shell




It's been two weeks since I've written, and to be quite honest... I don't even know why I am taking the time now to write- it's not like I have anything interesting to say.

I don't know, I just find that lately I'm different. Being happy doesn't come as easy to me anymore, it's something that I really have to push for. I know that things only happen if you make them happen, but I sometimes just wish that things would just fall into their place on their own. But where's the challenge if that was the case? Where's the fight?

I often find myself secluded from the world: hidden, with no place to go and no people to see. How can it be the one feels alone even in a crowd of people? I'm full of questions, I just need some answers. I need to find the answers within me. One day I'll figure it out, one day. It's all about the journey in the end, right?

I never knew that a movie could influence my thinking so much. How ridiculous is that? After having seen The Bucket List, I've realized that life is really short and we have to make the best of it.

Interesting thought (from the movie of course):
They had mentioned when in Egypt that back in the day, upon death the pharaoh was asked two questions and depending on his answers, he would be admitted in to the after life. The two questions were:

1) Did you bring joy to your life?
2) Did you bring joy to the life of others?

Maybe one day I'll be able to answer those questions without having to think too hard if I have found or brought joy to myself and others.

In the meantime, my bed awaits me.
