This is in response to a particular comment two entries before this one.

Of course, in my current state, the presence of such comments is simply adding oil to the fire. However, I chose not to react negatively. I am still contemplating whether the person had written that comment out of scorn or concern, and I will leave that up to you to decide.

What I have to say is simply this.

Even if nature didn’t require me to be a good student, a singer, or whatsoever, at least I do not simply sit back and accept my fate.

Yes, I may not be as smart as the several Einsteins out there. However, it is all about channelling yourself perform at your personal best, even though you may pale in comparison to other people.

Every individual has their own aspirations and goals, like I do. At least I give my best effort, even though the route is tough sometimes.

I may whine and complain about the stresses I am facing in my daily life. But that is what my journal is for. To vent out my personal frustrations and thoughts based on what I encounter every single day.

In fact, very single whim and complaint that I have is part of a learning experience. Even though I know that something is beyond my grasp, I challenge myself to go further. That is how a person develops both mentally and emotionally.

Even if I fall short of my goal eventually, at least I can sit back in satisfaction knowing that I have tried.

Despite the hecticness that befall me in the route I chose - which is to challenge myself to go further and to give my best in everything I do, I derive happiness in the form of personal accomplishments.

Neither do I neglect my social life, nor my health. In fact, my family and friends come in at top priority, followed by education in second place.

I hope I’ve made that clear, because the recent entries in this journal seem to suggest otherwise.

I do not view myself as a “frustrated and swearing sad sod”. Yes, there are times where I feel frustrated, and there are times where I also swear. But, these are emotions that everyone goes through at some stage in their lives, and it so happens that I had fallen within this stage at the moment.

Ah well, at least that comment enabled me to look back and reflect a little. Although I must say that I certainly do not appreciate people passing judgements based on my writing, without knowing me better as a whole person.

Meanwhile, I shall revert back into vocal-training mode for the auditions the day after tomorrow. ;) Whee.
