today was quite a nice day. it just wasn't truly perfect. after doing up the prototype for the 3D project up at sengkang. headed down to bugis to run a few personal errands. then headed off to suntec city for dinner with Wayne, Bobby and Frans.
i guess the highlight for tonight was actually the conversation that i had with Bobby on the bus. true enough, the society of Singapore is so fast paced that it prevents ourselves from truly being ourselves, and also stopping to catch a breather. due to the fear that if we stop, we won't be able to catch up.
i replied, saying that if we don't stop, we'll one day finally break down. and breaking down is so much worse than not being able to catch up. we fear being ourselves because of the competitive society, focusing on the "only the best wanted" mentality. our parents do it, our teachers preach it, our society promotes it. we strive so hard to be the best of the best, the cream of the crop. we take the stress, suppress our emotions, disregard the tiredness and fatigue our body goes thru, all to become the best. but is it worth it?
i agree with bobby, whatever we do, we must never lose ourselves. truly, i support that statement with my life. guilty as it is, i once feared to be muself. feared that the true me wouldn't be accepted by all those around me. but once i did "be myself", i found myself hooked onto it. addicted to being myself. because only when you be yourself, and believe in yourself, that's where life truly begins. that's where true joy is found. not the artificial high you get during parties and the like. the joy, that can only be found when you be yourself. because only then, will you know that you, are the only one that can be the best you around. no one else can do that.
it's my life testimony, and i've found true joy and acceptance with the people that i love being around with. because they accept me for who i am. Henzy David, the best Henzy David that there will ever be in this world.
