Whoops. Meant to post this last week as I had wrote the entry on my phone when travelling to Ipoh to visit my mom's side of the family. Well, here goes.
My recent weeks have been much better, since Sabr had been on her semester break. Last Friday night, we had watched Kubo and the Two Strings, which I highly recommend.
Her presence always seemed to bring out the most philosophical insights in me. The biggest point of our conversations was on "stagnation".
Yeah... That's the best word I can categorise it thus far. We're both (and I guess it extends to most fresh grads) experiencing an excitingly blank phase in our lives. It's the feeling of not knowing what is out there, even just a few months down the road.
That lack of foresight really gets in the way of planning for the future. There's a vision of what I want to do in the near future (getting back to Graduate School), but I can't figure out what my next six months would be.
So here we are, somewhat invigorated by the freedom and the world at our front door, yet being gradually desensitised to the novelty and excitement of the experience.
What motivates us to keep moving? To stick with the same job, to stay with a partner, to know that these are investments, and that all investments have an element of risk involved? It's hard to say.
All I know is this: when something is going good in life or turning out well, don't question it!
We are so quick to worry about things that went wrong, but we don't do enough of the opposite.
The tough times in life are not holding any punches. So take the good times with both hands and hold them tight. I think we deserve at least that.
