A lot of times I wonder how I can be so mentally sound despite the situations I am in. Compared to my other friend who will flinch at the very thought of worry, we are poles apart. Yet it is because of this differences that we click as 'opposites attracts'. Of course being opposites, we do try and influence each other so that we do not be the extreme ends of the 'worry scale'. Many have told him to learn my carefree-ness from me and me to learn his kanchiong-ness from him. If we were to add up and separate into two average, we'll get 2 very average person. And so it is what we are that makes us unique.

Also, my optimism has baffled many as to how I could maintain a smile in the face of a setback. Take it with a pinch of salt, step back and find the brighter side of the bigger picture, even if it's just a spot. Maybe it's also a form of escapism where I don't look at the problem in front but to find solace and comfort in everywhere else. To me, it's just plain optimism. I don't know if anyone will feel better or if they are able to see the brighter side I could help them find as I am unable(so far) to fall so deep into despair that has blocked out all source of hope/joy in any situations. Let's just say, even if the speck of light is very small, it'll shine brighter than the darkness. Of course, one day, this will lead me to my downfall as reality kicks me in the head and when the possibility of miracles happening is insignificant. However, I will never regret this path I take as I did not suffer as much in the pain I felt.

And yes, that's my very spastic brother who suggested taking the picture in that pose. I'm a teeny bit jealous he's way taller than me.
