have been rather tired recently. mentally. and physically.

 

mentally from the chronic lack of sleep, and of the occasional nightmare.

 

physically from the lack of fitness, and the ever-growing paunch. and of course the voracious appetite for all things alcoholic.

 

I thought I’d have recovered sufficiently from last year’s debacle, but the reminders that come in occasionally still manage to bring me pain. of course, I don’t feel as much pain as in the past anymore. probably I’m numb.

 

I was reading through some of my old entries, and this one caught my eye: www.geocities.com/dejectium/chapter1.html

i thought back to my previous naiveté, and missed that innocence.

 

guess I should be a mature adult, turning 22 this year, and able to cope silently with things adverse that go my way.

yet somehow I don’t feel that ready yet. I still want to cocoon into the warmth of my family and friends, without those larger-than-life responsibilities that I have to take up. I want to remain in the comfort of my best, trusted friends, whom I can confide in readily, and not share plastic smiles and inane chatter with the recently-made acquaintances with their faux slangs, nice even though they are.

 

I miss yihua jiamin zonghe yijun junyu shuwen emmeline huijun xiuling

 

I miss lianshi jianye kelvin guangji zhiyuan

 

I miss yidali hexian and the neighbourhood soccer guys

 

I want to regress, back to those halcyon days of youth. where nothing matters. where one took responsibility for his own actions, nothing else. just concentrate on homework and soccer, soccer and homework. and sometimes girl classmates.

 

homework and soccer, soccer and homework.

 

and sometimes girl classmates.

 

but that’s impossible.
