Finding myself
Haha I think I only named this post that because people do talk about finding themselves. I don't think I ever felt lost, or more of I never felt the need to know who I was (like it never occurred to me as a problem of not having an identity), but because the recent events have made me realise what the kind of person I am so I just wanna write a little bit about it.
I'm vegan.
And recently JDC'15 got postponed due to MM's passing.
2 really different things.
But they made me realise I don't accept the fact that sometimes we "cannot change anything".
So many people keep telling me, ahh wells no choice anyway / chill la there's nothing we can do about it anyway. And it really just pisses me off. Because I really hate it when ppl just resign to fate, especially when there's just that little bit of hope that things could be changed. You are only where you are because of yourself. Stop being so selfish to put the blame on everything else but yourself. Sure there are circumstances that make it difficult, but in so many cases people can do something just that they choose to resign to fate. Not only selfish but so weak. (But if you choose to just accept things then fine by me. You're happy about it fine by me.)
Being vegan- so many people tell me that it doesn't change anything because I am just one person. Err, from one person it has become so many people around the world. Even if what I do is just one person's effort, it's enough effort because one person is part of many people. We've gotta start somewhere. And sometimes they emphasize that I can't change ANYTHING. Well I'm definitely feeling better about myself- that's enough change for me. Why do people care so much if I turn vegan or not?
And for JDC, it's just so annoying that it was cancelled without all the dancers' consent. If we were consulted I wouldn't have been so pissed. Just because we are a public institution doesn't give the school admin the right to control everything we do. It's just so fake. We can respect MM but definitely not in this manner where so many people get upset over the postponement. What kind of respect is that? It's not just a few people here and there who are upset. Talked to a friend about it and he was like "too bad for those people". Well I think MM would have cared for those people. You don't just say "TOO BAD". True respect is when we sit down together and agree that we should postpone JDC. There are so many forms of respect, why do we have to conform to the norms, especially when they are not true forms of respect- really it feels to me they are just for show when so many people don't mean it. You can do something in action, but what are the intentions- I think that's really important. Public institution yes- I understand if the school makes a decision for pri sch, sec sch, all the way up to JC, but we are all adults in Uni alr.
And that Breadtalk bun. Gosh it's a charitable bun...Even if it was named badly, why are people so judgey? They're not trying to make fun of MM. And honestly the name doesn't sound bad to me at all. The name actually makes a lot of sense to me. Breadtalk you disappoint me. Stick to your beliefs and stand by them.
TTFN!
