Blue as the skies so bright. Blue as the waters so clear. Blue as the thoughts so pure. Blue is and always will be my favorite colour.
To me, blue represents brightness. Not the 'yellow' or 'red' kind of brightness, but a softer kind. The blue skies that emerge after a stormy day has passed. The blue waters of the sea that many a man and many creatures have voyaged. Blue reminds me on tranquility and peace. Blue teaches fluidity and flexibility when faced with challenges. Blue is like a soul of hope that passes through a person when knocked against the ground.
Blue represents the water i swam in every 2-3 hours a day that took up nearly 8 years of my life. Blue represents the peace and quiet i sometimes crave and almost never got. Blue is the limit in the skies that i wish to achieve but have yet to try. Blue is the future where everything is right and everything is balanced. Blue is a natural and harmonious source of out nature and origins.
When i think of blue, i imagine a countryside. I imagine being next to the lake so still till it mirrors its surroundings. A place surrounded by hills and vast lands. A place so fresh and clean that no sin can possibly exist here. Blue is like a vision of a fisherman in a tiny wooden boat out in the waters. Blue is like that small little house up on cliff, facing the waters. Blue is like someone lying down on grass, only to look up to the skies and feel their problems so insignificant compared to the greatness of the world.
That is blue, blue is hope, a hope i wish to turn reality.
School had a mini edu fair the other day. Basically was a good chance for me to get my future sorted out. From what i see, AUSMAT is the way to go. Sunway looks to be the most probable destination. One of the reasons for this is because their AUSMAT course has a Psychology subject on its own. I was always interested with this subject but i never knew why. There are loads of things for me to be against it :- bio related, lack of job options, possible loads of reading, etc....
Still, i was always intrigued by how people's minds think and how it affects their actions. I'm definitely not gonna be one of those medical psychologist where i study mental illness and such. I wanna learn how to motivate people, how to set specific environments that encourages growth, i wanna learn how to make an underdog feel like he/she can take on the world. I wanna be a Sports Psychologist!
But as i said, job opportunities are few to be honest, i'm still keeping that on hold though. A few other options such as the increasingly less likely Journalism path i once really wanted. Now it feels like a drag to even update my blog. Can't imagine having to write articles on a structured basis.
Anyways, a huge spanner has been thrown into my plans as i got selected for National Service. This must be the 100th time i'm saying this, but i actually don't mind getting selected if i were to be scheduled in the 1st batch. But then again, that would mean entering college around March and i'll be 3 months behind the rest of the class so can't really tell how i feel about it now. Don't wanna be those stuck up kinds that goes "yea i got selected for NS, but not going cuz i got plans already". Always felt as though those kinds were spolit and pampered. Sorry, just an opinion.
I always like to find inspiring words by inspiring people and these are the few that caught my attention.
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Live life as if you'll die tomorrow, dream as if you'll live forever. -Unknown
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. - Sir William Henley
Life is what happens, when you're busy making other plans. -John Lennon
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Marianne Williamson
