What's this? A double-post in a day? Yeah... I'm in Seremban for the day and the boredom is starting to set in. So I'm scouring through my drafts to post them.

This was from early June this year.



"It seems like you haven't found closure, yourself".

Honestly, I haven't really sat down to properly ruminate on that. While I think that I had lived my life without regrets, it seemed that I exhibited bitterness when I talked about "what if's".

So... Have I worked out my past issues and made peace with them? Some of them, yeah. As for the fringe cases, I don't know if I can ever do that. I'll just have to eventually come to terms with them. Until then, I'll do my best to not be over-encumbered by my past decisions.

I want to see the best in people, that when put in a tough situation, make the best decision, to the best of their knowledge at that given moment.

It might not be the nicest, or correct call, but that's the demand of pressure.

I might not agree with their choice, or their decision, but I cannot take away their thought process.

So why am I the exception to my own rule? Well, that's something I need to work on.

Kiss

I couldn't explain it. My hand holding onto her face, the universe staring back through her eyes.

"I really want to kiss you right now", my voice ran deep, the weight of those words sinking to the pit of my stomach. I've never felt so exposed, in the unfamiliar setting of her apartment couch.

Her eyes never shifted. "You can, if you want to". She sounded calm, as if she pierced through my facade. My mind ran blank as I pulled my body towards hers, and our lips met.

For once, I knew I wasn't alone. For once, I was truly in love.

Fixed

I made my first investment!

Finally! After 3+ years of hoarding it all in my savings account due to the fear paralysis.

All it took was a proper shakeabout, a personal finance workshop, and a bit of courage to kick my butt into doing something about growing my wealth.

Now, to build on it and learn up on other things I can invest my money in.

TLDR: once you have enough money to establish a parachute/emergency fund, go put it in some fund and not leave it to stagnate in your savings account with its paltry 0.2% interest rate.

Sun

Wow... This was a year overdue... stuck in draft limbo. Welp, here it is!

My body shifted so slightly, as the slit of sunlight breaking through the window hits my face. I tried to move, but my body refused, reminding me of last night's roaming.

I gathered more strength and rolled onto my side, breathing a sigh of relief. I've never liked sleeping on my back, let alone in an unfamiliar setting of a backpacker's motel.

From across the room, my friend awakes, her frizzy hair and squinted eyes showing the lack of sleep we had. I remained in bed, reluctant to acknowledge the start of our day.

I'll need some time to get used to this, sharing a room with a girl, seeing her get ready for the day, fixing her hair, putting on makeup, packing up for the day, and of course, cheesy phone calls in the morning with the boyfriend.

This definitely doesn't ease any of her boyfriend's insecurities of me as her friend.
