Quick Moment of Reflection

Just wanted to put out some thoughts:

  1. Why get jealous over "levels of friendships"?
  2. Is there such thing as a "degree of friendship"?
  3. So what does it mean if you are a "lesser" friend of A compared to B? Does that truly mean anything?
  4. It's always good to ask "What are your considerations/concerns?", when someone comes to you (or your brain comes to you) with a dilemma. It really helps to set the context and you can make a better decision. Sometimes you will realise that your dilemma, isn't really a dilemma after all, just your brain being clouded or confused.
  5. There are reasons why you are being called/approached, and of course reasons why you aren't. But the real question is, do they matter?
  6. Or rather, the real deepest question is: does it really matter if you are being called/approached, or not?
  7. Choose your battles wisely, but does this very act means limiting your potential, or being grounded in realism? 
  8. Is perseverance a blessing, or curse?
  9. A friend just told me, "Go through all the opportunities you had, the nice people you met, the work you did and the goals you worked on, the nice meals you had and the great chats you had time for in that day, and be grateful." I like to show appreciation for people, but have I appreciated myself before?
  10. I think I have an ego problem - don't praise me ever. Keep the criticism coming.
  11. I really respect people who can stand up for themselves / present their case in a logical manner.
  12. I am really curious to know what people think about me. But can one be truly be himself, when he actually knows what people truly think about him? So if he just carries on doing "his stuff", why bother knowing or asking? And if he tries to change, is it really for the better, or simply to appease those feedback?
  13. Need to go to sleep. Good night! (:
Thank you readers, my parents and my friends. Like, my many groups of friends. Notably my primary school friends, and some people who have stuck with me all the time. And I hope to find more people with whom I can still hold a lengthy, intellectual, comforting, interesting, not-awkward conversation with, even when t approaches infinity. #nerd
