I am the Author of my Destiny. Not You.

People tend to generalize, or to judge.

They have their own standard set of measurements, which is basically either against their own, or against that of the norm set by society.

I used to be one of those walking zombies.
I embraced whatever was set before my eyes.
I never ever questioned the "why", the "what", the "how".
I just followed.
Blindly.

And when I finally awoke from the trance I'm in, and decided to take a leap out of this never-ending nightmare, those remaining behind, started to pull me back in.

Their questioning, their doubts, their stares, are like the endless sea of arms in hell trying to pull me back in. Pulling at every living inch of my body.
Sucking me in.

Only the brave survives.
And I'm struggling.
But I plan to survive.
And I will.

I'm trying my best and my hardest to climb out of the pit. I'm stepping on all those gripping arms to advance. And to shake them off to advance.

Is it really that hard to be different?

I do not wish to take the journey taken by most people. I want to decide my own Destiny and decide my own journey.

I want to be the author of my Life penning down every word myself.

I want to be the illustrator of my Life adding all the colors and line myself.

I want to be the editor of my Life correcting all the mistakes myself.

I want to be the publisher of my Life making this book of MY LIFE come true myself.

Simply because it is mine.

Everyone has a Life Project of their own. It is up to them to write their own, or to allow it to be yet another copy-and-paste volume.

And for mine, it's not gonna be another copy-and-paste. It will be magnificent.
It will be ME.

People who see it as being easy and carefree, you're wrong.

People who see it as a waste of time, you're wrong.

People who see it as a mistake, you're wrong.

I have come to a point whereby I no longer wish to share my thoughts, my dreams, and my plans with anyone. Not even those closest to me.

I see no need for that anymore cos all I got were doubts, questions, and sarcasm.

I do not need all those and I see no use of them.

You may laugh at me. You may mock me. You may think I'm building sandcastle in the air. You may think I'm stupid. You may think I will fail. You may think I will not follow through. You may think it is all talk and no actions.

I will not let all these affect me anymore.

So please do not generalize, please do not judge.

Be the audience, if you would.
Sit back and relax and enjoy the process, if you would.
Applaud when it comes to an end, if you would.

But never interfere.

For . . .

I am the Shakespeare of my theatre.
I am the Napoleon of my revolution.
I am the Captain of my vessel.

I am me.

All about

: elise :

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
