The Point of No Return

Finally, I plucked up the courage to book that exam. Now why did I do that? I've been putting it off long enough I suppose. I kept thinking I will be fine, no rush or anything. But then I heard that most of my friends have done them all, nearly all 9! It's a wake up call for me.

So today I rang up the exam centre and booked one. They said it cannot be cancelled and non refundable. Gee, I didn't think this through. I can't back out, not now when I've reached the point of no return. I'm not doing this for anyone but myself. I will do it. Will revise without fail. This is it, I have got to grow up and face up to it.

No more procrastination, for now anyway. Fingers crossed I will get through and of course party afterwards.

She Did the Right Thing

He said she was pretty
He made her fall in love
They got married
Things were fine
For a bit...

It didn't take long
He burst out in rage
She was broken, he said
She believed this and lived with it
Daily violence was endured
Nothing can be done but stay silent
The fear instilled was unbearable
Silent was she for now

Until one day..
She fell pregnant
Did she want the same life for the bairn?

No.
As if reincarnated...
She vowed to break the chain
She hit him in the head
She knew this was wrong, fire fought fire
Run! Her heart said
She did..

She still loved him
Despite the pain she moved on
For the new life inside her

She knew she did the right thing
At last...

Why do we get bored?

In everyone's life there is always a period of boredom in between the excitement and thrills. We only realise this when we feel calm and collected, when we've come to realise that this will be just a phase, temporary in its nature. Well, I say temporary only if we know how to rise above it and move on. The big question is how?

When one is so wrapped up in this situation it's so hard to feel lifted. I for one has felt this several times over the years. I always put it as part of growing up but why does it never cease to exist? I guess it's just part of human nature. Some get bored easily and others just carry on beaming with excitement whatever come their way like a happy go lucky action figure off TV.

Whatever it is I still can't figure out why this happens to us humans. Do animals and trees feel the same way? How do they handle it? I just have to accept that it exist and that this happens to everyone at some point in their life. C
