"But Love is blind and lovers cannot see,
The pretty Follies that themselves commit."
-The Merchant Of Venice
A quote from the book I've been reading.
The irony that I'm reading Shakespeare now that I've graduated compared to when there was an actual need for me to read it last year hahaha. I remember vaguely saying something like: "God knows why he(Shakespeare) chooses to write things this way, so much complications and unnecessary drama that is often never EVER realistic at all." I used to really dislike reading his works, Elizabethan language is not really my thing. But in hindsight he's a remarkable writer, for words are never chosen just for the sake of choosing, and theatrical plays were never meant to be practical.
In the middle of another book too: The Trial of Fallen Angels by J.P Kimmel.
"A young disabled lawyer finds herself dead in afterlife, with no recollection of how she died but with memories of her husband, daughter and the life she left behind. And how she's been chosen to join the elite lawyers who prosecute and defend souls at the Final Judgement where she discovers the truth of how, and why she died through her first client."
Okay, I kinda summarized the synopsis... It's 3 paragraphs long. I'm not gonna type that all out!! HAHA it's a pretty interesting read so far. Revolves around the idea that "doing good does not make us good people, doing bad doesn't make us bad people either"
I wonder how this will end, though I'm guessing she will eventually discover empathy and compassion, forgiving the one who caused her death? I might have been reading so much I can now predict the endings of most books HAHA we'll see how it goes though.
On another note, I finally met wit yesterday.
It's been so so long. He's been busy with work and DJ-ing, driving and other things and I was just well, avoiding him. But I've since sorted myself out and he's relatively free-er now so it was about time. We're a pretty weird combo, but oddly enough through the differences there's something that clicks and holds together. Not quite sure what it is, I just know that the friendship between us is different from any other I have with the other guys.
We had a pretty good talk, filling up the gap between us these past 3 months. Other than the incident he had a year ago this was most probably one of the longest htht sessions we've had. "Just look back on this whole experience as a learning point." The words I gave him once, now given back to me. Though now I've already learnt the meaning of those words but seeing wit across me saying those words made me feel like we've each come so far this period of time. He's grown a lot in certain aspects, and I'm really glad to see this side of him again.
This is what my wall is slowly becoming right now
Started last year before prelims when I wrote quotes that kept me going, then notes from the girls and mum and everything else sorta went up too. Some are reminders to myself of the things I've learnt from everything that's happened, others are just my 4am feels.
I have a feeling this wall will keep expanding, but it's a pretty nice thought. It means I'll have more reminders along the way.
