Purpose

Have you ever wondered what is the reason for your existence? What is the purpose of your life, your destiny. What's are great big universe's plans for you? A series of events got me to soul search and think about my purpose.

I think my contribution to the good of the world involves being a person people can rely on. I think I'm supposed to be the person that people can talk to about their serious, life changing problems or the other kinds of drama life throws at them. I think I'm supposed to be gentle, understanding and a good of source of advice without interfering directly in the drama.


Except i'm never good at it. I'm judgmental, cranky and a little psycho. I am a good listener when I'm in a good mood, but if you catch me when I'm out of patience, i might just bulldoze you out of your opinions. Maybe that's part of my purpose since it is part of who i am.

Of course, there's no way to be absolutely sure that is my purpose but right now, that's what I've been doing for a while and it suits me just fine.

Its interesting to think what each person's purpose is. We are all different and can't all have the same purposes. But maybe we are all executing God's will without knowing it..

Society and Friends

Ok. So I'm cheating on my decision to abstain from blogging and other distractions but I need to write. Its a necessity.

The other day I was teasing and talking to one of my guy friends. Not boyfriend, not the only friend who is a boy but a really good friend all the same. It got me thinking, who said guys and girls can't be best friends and nothing more?

He is a really cool guy and its amazing how we connect. I can effortlessly converse with him. Our lifestyles and families have many similarities too. I'm so incredibly blessed to have such a good friend.

That's all we are, though. Friends. We are really close, school friends that are very comfortable in each others company. We've been teased together, gotten each other out of trouble and have generally been there for each other. Why is it that society finds this so unacceptable? Why does society assume we've been a couple? We aren't. We are just incredible friends.

Its about time that society became a little more open minded. Its perfectly normal for boys and girls to be friends. There doesn't always have to be a hidden agenda behind a simple relationship.

My relationship with this friend IS special, that's true. But it isn't the dating kind of special. I guess its just that we've known each other for years and are really at ease in each others company. We're completely ourselves. In my opinion, that's completely acceptable.

Exams!

Bah humbug! I've got exams coming up and its time for me to put a stop to all my distractions (blogging included).

Its going to be tough to keep away from excessive texting, tv time and facebook but I'll have to if I want to succeed in these finals.

Ah Life! Why do you make things so difficult? Its so difficult to achieve anything worth having. Sacrifice and hard work are so important to reach your goals.

Nevermind. It isn't the time to brood over 'why'. Its time to get down to some serious work. I'll need to keep my focus ( as for some reason it keeps getting away from me). Books, here I come!

Giggles and smiles

Today, we had an event in college that was organised by our writing centre. Our writing centre is another name for our student support services. The centre helps us correct our assignments by ourselves and guides us to become better writers.

Well, today they organised an event day and it was incredibly fun! I've always been a big fan of the english language and all the games it inspires so this was an event day for me! My friends and I participated in events like Hangman, Spelling bee, treasure hunt, scrabble and just a minute.

A few of my friends won the hangman event, my team won the spelling bee and we all lost miserably at scrabble and at the treasure hunt.

The day was exciting and full of incredible fun. It made me see that its important to enjoy your days. Yes, it is necessary to work hard and achieve your goals but it's a part of life that we have a little fun now and then. No matter how silly or childish that humour is, it's always a welcome respite.

Fallen idols

Have you ever been in a situation where someone you used to hold on a pedestal has proven less than worthy? Recently, I've been in just such a situation.

The problem with this situation is that I do not know how to react. I used to hold this person in high esteem. I used to think that she was strong and independent yet feminine and graceful also. Yet, now I see her for her real self and I honestly do not like what I see.

What stumps me the most is, how come I did not notice her flaws before? How come it took me so long to see what was right infront of me? It's amazing how thick I was.

Even by putting that aside, I still do not know how to react. Do I treat her differently or the same? I've been very cautious around her but is it terrible that I'm not letting her know what I feel? Or is it better to keep things to myself and hence keep the peace?

Oh dear! That's a lot of questions. I hope somebody is able to give me the answers, or maybe I'll find them myself.

As of now, I've learnt that everyone has flaws. Everyone is imperfect. It's what makes us human.
