just when i don't need it

hah, okay so i didn't go to bed. i had good company, what can i say? :) recent happenings in the past few weeks have prompted me to, well, give my opinion on certain stuff. no, i wouldn't call this a rant, cos im not exactly angry/pissed & this is kinda constructive (i guess?). i prefer to call this enlightenment/brendon shares his wisdom or if you prefer, verbal diarrhea :) (which then contradicts my previous sentence cos a rant is sort of a form of VD, to me anyways)

you know at times people ask, do you think this or that? what if this does/doesn't happen? should i do this? will they ever do this and that?

honestly, i don't know. life's like a deck of cards (chose this partially cos of the CNY spirit), and what you want may not be what you'll get. a ten or Jack comes when you only need an eight or a seven. a three or four pops up when you really want a nine or a ten. but there'll be this one time when the cards you have are just right, and everything falls into place perfectly.

what im trying to say is that life's a gamble. i've taken the gamble a few times ever since poly life started, and i can honestly say it can bite you in the ass sometimes (hard. leaves deep marks too), but hey, you'll never know what's gonna happen if you're too scared to try. sure, you lose part of your fortune due to bad risks taken (once again, in relation to the cards. can't think of a better analogy, sorry), but things will eventually go your way. you'll fall and scab your knees every once in awhile, and i guess that's kinda inevitable if you want to get what you really want/where you want to be in life. it's just a matter of how we let things affect us and how we deal with whatever happens. brooding over things way out of our control is really a waste of time, and energy.

and then... the mind goes blank! :/ tsk.

p.s. i'd just like to add, you may see all this coming from me now, but in like two weeks i'll prolly come whining to a few of you about this, that and whatnot haha. that's me, i've never really practiced what i've (rarely) preached sooooo yeah. but! i hope reading this may have helped a few of you (you know who you are!) going through a similar situation as in the abovementioned post :) that was basically the aim anyways so ciao!
