Grassy Diary - Part 1

Ideas are like seeds. 

They grow into magnificent trees and beautiful flowers, but not all seeds survive the journey. Seeds need water, soil, and dirt. sunlight, and a sky to grow. And their limit? The sky. 

I woke up. 

This energizing feeling is definitely water! Water mixed with mossy moss. So comfortable! I just want to sleep a bit more, and I need to stretch myself. Good night. 

What is so bright?

Is that what they call sunshine? Ahhh. It is too bright for me. Why can't I just sleep in a little more. And the moss is drying up around me. I am thirsty. I want to reach a bit deeper to taste water. Wish me luck!

Sunshine is so sweet!

I can't get enough of it. It is comforting and inviting. Maybe I can touch it. It seems a bit high in the sky though. Whatever, I will touch it and find out how high it is. My friends all want to touch it too! But I will be the first.

I am so cold!

I am freezing. The white thing is making me feel cold. It scares me. Will everything become monotone and will I freeze to death? Sunshine tastes  too sweet. I can't stand it. Some of my friends are taller than me. Errh! So annoying. I was here first.

Take me closer!

I am about to fall over! But I have to catch that last ray of sunshine. I need to grow higher and higher and higher until I reach the sun. Everyone around me is growing too. It is a race of determination. I can do this!

Ahhhh. Heeeelp. 

The moss is too dry. I can't get enough water. I am starving! My body is too heavy to lift up right. And people are leaning on top of me! It is suffocating. Oh no! Did some of my friend give up? They are starting to lose their color.

What is this world!

It gives me water. Take it away from me. Now it is trying to drown me! This is not fair. I am growing taller and taller, but water is diluting my nutrients. My top is not green enough. It seems like the sun is still far away. I wonder how long it will take me to touch it. This world is getting unbearable. I feel tired already. It seems like some of my friends can't keep up. Should I leave them behind?

I don't have enough room!

People always block my sunshine. I have to grow taller to reach it, but people are always in the way. Why is this happening! Can't they move somewhere else?

Upside Down Snow Globe - The MacGuffin

Image
The Start I saw various snow globes many times in my life, but I only realized some of its implications a few moths ago, during my seventeenth year on Earth. Snow globes are pretty, expensive, and offer no practical value. They are the embodiment of the modern materialistic mindset: often found at tourist traps and bought at a high value as gifts and souvenirs. The only value they offer is perhaps a sense of awe that decays rapidly with repeated sightings. We can argue that they have sentimental values, but I rebut that all objects can have sentimental values, and therefor, snow globes are not better in that aspect. Picture from Flikr.  But, they are beautiful.  Even I cannot deny that. A majestic world with castles and sky scrapers inside a transparent glass sphere is beautiful. However, when I stumbled across deeper implications behind its attractive appearance, I started to ponder about the face values of happiness.   A world without snow is a sad one.  The world wit

The Searching Game

Image
Sometimes, we feel like we are missing something. We don't know what exactly we are missing, but we are sure we are missing it. When we walk, we hold our head up high and look around, searching for a hint, a clue, that will lead us to what we are finding. Most days are routine.  We get up, wash, eat, and drive. This repetition is boring, and we pay little attention to it. Now, imagine you wake up in the morning and eat oatmeal while clearly pondering about an aspect of your life. There is no rush. There is no grogginess. There is vitality. Art from Kimi no Na wa. What is the difference between the two lives? The one we live in right now and the one we are searching for? We don't know... That is why we are searching, waiting, and anticipating. Break compromise.  People often mention that we have to keep accelerating, keep moving forward with passion and zeal. However, we don't have that much continuous passion to spend; we are human, after all. We don't h

Sea of No Progress - Beginning of Continuity

Image
It has been a while. A few weeks since I wrote a post. Life gives a little and takes a little. I am back with a series, the continuity series. There are a few concepts in life that mesmerize me, and one of them is continuity. There is really no singular destination for us, but there is constant drive urging us to continue, whether it is to chase after our dreams or do something that we may not want to do.  Embark.  Setting sail is exciting! I believe in beginner's luck. When we start something, we get this exhilarating feeling of growth and satisfaction. We feel we are going in the right direction and we will be able to reap the rewards. However, as the port disappears into the horizon, we see nothing but sea. Art from Darling in the Franxx. Boundless.  Sea is boundless. Once we are in it, we are surrounded by miles upon miles of blue water. We can not tell where we are, because we have no reference. We only know that we are surrounded by water. This can get tiring
