Eerily accurate. Okay, maybe it&#8217;s not as much of a coincidence as I&#8217;m playing it up to be, but really. It does fit.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; what have I been up to? Every time I ask this, I think for a long time, and I end up knowing less than I did to begin with. Which doesn&#8217;t really make sense considering I am myself, and so I should know what I&#8217;m doing. But I don&#8217;t, not really. I guess I could say that I&#8217;ve been going to school. That&#8217;s not a lie, but that&#8217;s just not everything.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been drawing, occasionally, and writing, but barely; sleeping, hardly, and dreaming, mostly. Truthfully, I&#8217;m a little bit tired of being in my own head so often. It&#8217;s the same old route every minute, every night, and honestly, it&#8217;s getting more than a little bit tiring. I suppose changing my mindframe would solve it\u2014but as with everything, easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>Dreaming, right? What could I possibly dream of? I&#8217;m&#8230; not even sure anymore. I realize that it&#8217;s getting harder and harder to talk, recently, but harder and harder still is it to find someone who will actually listen. It&#8217;s hard to find someone to talk to in person. Which is most important, and it&#8217;s supposedly easier and I wish I could.<\/p>\n<p>But what are the chances, and how long am I willing to continue dreaming?<\/p>\n<p>[bg music: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6G5TuESCdLw\" target=\"_blank\">\uad7f \ubc14\uc774 \ubc14\uc774<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>That sounds very flowery and deep. But deep-end deep, you know? Jumping off the deep end. Or something. I&#8217;m not brave enough to think so far, or so explicitly, but I do think. It&#8217;s not exactly the most productive activity I could be doing, but it&#8217;s much easier than anything I should be doing.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer I did dumb things. That&#8217;s all I can describe it as, anyway. The way my sister remembers it is a bit different from how I did. Of me, anyway. I left a bad impression on myself. I think something changed.<\/p>\n<p>Internally.<\/p>\n<p>Again.<\/p>\n<p>[bg music:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DGIguChn8qI\">\ub864\ub7ec\ucf54\uc2a4\ud130<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>A day later: I&#8217;m thinking about how useless existences are. Which is not to say that &#8216;people are meaningless specks of dust&#8217; or whatever, but the fact that I, an entire person with thoughts and habits and ideas, could be your closest friend for over a year but then, in a few months, go back to being a stranger. If I compare and replicate certain scenes from these years it really does look pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s nothing I want, nothing I can do, and nothing to prove anymore. So why do I keep whining uselessly? It&#8217;s to pass time, and time is indeed passing but none of my stupid nagging thoughts are. So what&#8217;s the point? What&#8217;s your point?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired but I don&#8217;t want to sleep, either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yt-lockup-title \">What do I even have left to say? Is this just another way of craving attention? Why have I reached this standstill? Wasn&#8217;t I so much better before?<\/p>\n<p class=\"yt-lockup-title \">So now, when I say that I wish I had friends, I mean plural, I mean close ones, I mean people who will care no matter the circumstance within common reason. People with no&#8230; messed up impressions or prejudice or bias or something left over from previous friendships with other people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yt-lockup-title \">And in a way, I&#8217;m blaming people. But that&#8217;s not my intention, no, it was never my intention. Although my moods and whatnot can be turbulent at times, I have fairly good intentions for the most part. Except for when I&#8217;m pretending to hate someone because it&#8217;s so much easier to do so than to admit that you like anyone. Well, at this stage, of course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yt-lockup-title \">This has been your routinely pathetic personal reflection post by Grace Yin, hope you enjoyed and see you next time!<\/p>\n<p class=\"yt-lockup-title \">Until then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[bg music: \u611b\u3057\u3066\u308b\u306e\u306b\u3001\u611b\u305b\u306a\u3044] I find it funny that the song fits my mood.
