Finding Zen

It's 3 in the morning, and I am finding my thoughts drifting to my fellow EBs. Amid the work that I have to do, I am reminded of those fun, dodgy moments we had in the short span of 2 months. I guess 2 months really made such a difference.

Right now I am finding my own zen. It's almost 4 but I can see myself, back there with them, buried and overwhelmed. Funny, seeing how previously, all I wanted was to go back home and taste my Mum's curry chicken. Things are strange, but I guess that's really how things are.







We are ruled by our emotions at the end of the day. More so for me than what I initially imagined it to be.

Values

If our beliefs and actions are defined by our values, what are we when we act upon only to realize that they aren't align to others? Will it be seen as an selfish, bigoted act with ill intent? A most challenging act would be to balance oneself precariously on a thin line of faith trying to fulfill one's values as well as catering to the values of others.

It would be really nice to take a small break once in awhile. Away from all the paradox of juggling and not compromising. The thought of being back home. In my bed. Or catching up on the familiarities, friends and food is a comforting thought indeed.

But then again, at the back of it all, the same precarious act of constant balancing between values will forever more be around. At least for the next one term.

Until that last day of the term, I have to be a fighter. Holding on to my fort.
