This is supposed to be an angst, emotional, angry-teen (though I'm not one, heh) sort of post; but since Amir fed me with his super-pedas pasta of luuuurve, I doubt it.
Situation 1
Ever tried peeling an onion? Not just the skin but the whole thing until it's reduced to the pith? At times I feel that people are like that; layered. Layers and layers of skin, of emotions, of pretense so that others cannot see the pith; the core being.
Because that's what life- surviving is: adaption. Able to turn and change oneself with all those layers. Well. That's what I think. I think I have my layers because oh God, my pith is nasty. No one should ever, ever see it.
So don't try to peel it. Just like the onion, I might just release tears-inducing... aura.
Situation 2
I'm never a big fan of paintball fights or water balloon ambush. I hate the fact that I have to eventually come out from behind to wall to hit the other side. I like being behind a wall- secured. Safe. Rather than take a risk, jump out from the wall, standing there, being vulnerable, legs shaking, about to be hit.... and I'd be thinking: Why the heck did I leave my wall??!?!!?
It's easy to build a wall. For me. I like my wall. Please don't try to drag me away from it.
Situation 3
You know how teenagers are so filled with anger? With frustration? (gomen to any bubbly, cheery teen reading this- I'm talking to my part teen self). It's so easy to walk around like a ticking bomb. Kacau sikit: meletup. But I can't. Learnt the hard way that it's not acceptable. To be emotional. To meletup anytime I want. To speak the angry, angry thoughts. Ne?
So how? Keep it wrapped with tons of bubble sheets and binded tightly with cello tape. Smile falsely with narrowed eyes when you're mad. Breathe deeply and look away. Refrain from saying the cursing words seeping out of your ears. It's simple.
However. Once awhile, when you prod a bit too much, it tends to leak. Sort of like those almost-bursting balloons? Strain it slightly and it bursts.
Don't peel, don't break my wall and don't, don't, don't push it.
I promise you that you're not going to like the results.
Too much philosophy? Maybe I shouldn't have drowned the pasta with Strawberry Yoghurt Drink and oranges.
*amazed at the amount or varied food I can tolerate*
Find myself thinking of The White Prince and The Kancil.
Wonder what he's doing right now.
