of love and other demons

i worry that i am stretching myself too thinly, and yet it's my own desires that put me in such a difficult situation. funny as it may sound, but the very dreams i have for myself have become the bane of my existence. i am now forced to do my phd applications as i finish my thesis at the same time. moreover, i am compelled to leave my new found friends as what i did to my long-time comrads when i embarked on this quest for higher learning. then, i am required to make a vow of poverty as i start to adjust to the low-paying profession of teaching.

i wonder if it's the same for other people. are our dreams the same as our nightmares?

  1. I have this thinking where life is really transient. If we begin settling it will mean death.

    Maybe that's why I'm scared to get left behind. Maybe that's why I'm always on the move

  2. i know, right?!?!? it's like there's something pushing us to constantly move, especially that we have finally reached that 20-something.
