I survived all that has happened to me because I am who I am. My strength, my will, my refusal to give up - those are the only components of my heart and soul which I can truly identify. This ego, if you wish to call it that, is my strength.

I want to be someone like her.

I am a reader, a flashlight-under-the-covers, carries-a-book-everywhere-I-go type of reader.

I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I’m seeing we don’t live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It’s an infinite playlist.

I’m trying to be less materialistic as much as possible, only buying things that I REALLY, REALLY need. (I’m actually VERY thrifty so I don’t like buying anything so much even if I want something so badly. Besides, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth so I need to work for every single cent that I have.)

To be honest, I can live without any of these luxurious things - cellphone, computer, and other gadgets. I was able to live through five months (from mid-September last year to March of this year) without a cellphone. I actually prefer it that way since nobody could bother me (even if my bestfriends cursed me because they couldn’t contact me during those times). I mean, if they really need something from me, they could ask me in person. I am the type of person who loves peace and quiet. I don’t want any disturbance specially when I’m working on something.

I don’t want to be a hypocrite. Of course I also enjoy all these material things that the world could offer. I have a smart phone and a laptop. I’m in front of the computer 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. I need to because I work online. I have accounts on different social networking sites which I don’t really use so much. I watch a lot of programs - animes, k-dramas, k-varieties, j-dramas, a few american shows - which I do whenever I don’t have classes and to pass my boredom. But I guess, the stress that I have is also mainly because of these things. I don’t really need these things. I CAN LIVE WITHOUT THEM.

If I could only live by myself, if I could be selfish and just leave everything behind, I’d choose to live in the countryside, a place where there are not so many people, not so many cars, no buildings, nor pollution, a place where artificial things don’t exist.

I’m only 20, turning 21 this year. But I’m already sick of this modernized world where everything relies on technology. I just want a simple life, with my family, a few trusted friends, my books, and my music.

Ain’t that the truth?!

And it’s like you don’t really want it to end like you don’t want to finish reading it when you can see that there are only a few pages left…

This could have been perfect if only they weren’t laughing at the beginning. Still, it is a very beautiful cover.
