take a clean empty glass cup, put it on the table and fill it with drinking water, now what do you see?
Clarity is something I've been unable to grasp in life and frankly something very far-fetched from my life. Every single second in life your mind process endless scenarios, possibilities, consequences, outcomes and your conscience then tries to filter it which leaves you to the final decisions that you make each and every single day, but it all happens in a split second without us knowing that heaps and heaps of endless strings of intricate scenarios gets judged and examined subconsciously in our minds. I for one have got to admit that life has been difficult when practically for your whole life, everything to you is complex, peer interactions are fearful uncharted waters, and all unforeseeable outcomes in life seems daunting with intimidation.
A glass of water is pure, calm with peace, clear with clarity, motionless, and just simply divine on it's own. It is adaptive and molds into the form of it's host, it's being, it's carrier.. it is temperate, unshaken by the tremors of intimidation and eventually is able to return back to clarity, it's calmness and forever purity in form. Our minds can never achieve such pleasure, such goodness in nature because ultimately we are humans with one possession, something that defines our being's very own existence... consciousness.
What I'm trying to say is, with consciousness we would over-think so many things in our lives, trying to work out the "best possible outcome" which would be the best decision and work our best possible way to evade potential disasters, we distrust ourselves to let our very own mind, our own self work it's own way subconsciously to maintain order by intruding and invading our own mind, our own self and contaminating the clarity of our minds, our glass of water. At times, life caves in like the walls that imprisons you and the pressure from the desire of seeking acknowledgment for our own existence seems like a daunting task, your mind and your consciousness kicks in to overdrive like stones, sands, fire, acid, alcohol poured into that pure existence and forever clarity is gone, lost into oblivion. You could no longer be who you really are, and the being of who you were changed, the mind, the host, the carrier changes. No matter how you try to mold back into that state of clarity, your own true self, you are still flawed, you were flawed, then forever flawed.
We constantly try to live life as who we are through the acknowledgment of the people around us, the very part of our lives which is our most natural self, the most comfortable self, some have the privilege of being so, living their lives knowing what life has in store for them, they can laugh at jokes without over-thinking each detail regardless of their outcomes, they could talk to anyone without the need to try, they are comfortable with their presence, presence of their own worth and acceptance from the people around them, they could have their own life to live, able to experience life as their own as life should be, to love, to dwell, to be truly happy in their own glass of water. However, as how things should seem perfect, it is not and never will.
Now, what do you see in your glass of water?

Have you ever been in a situation where you're so worried about something and constantly cringing on your brains and working out all possible negative outcomes one by one? thinking how your life would fall apart eventually and you wouldn't know how to deal with what's to come?
That's exactly what happened to me up in the air while I was on my flight back to Kuching about two weeks ago. I so worried about finding find a job in Kuching once I get back and how would I survive the month in securing a job while at the same time hanging out and catching up with my hometown friends. During the whole flight, I was so stressed out I couldn't even sleep in the plane as my mind goes bonkers over-thinking everything.
Once I landed in Kuching, like the notorious nature of me in disobeying regulations, I switched on my phone to check whether I have any messages or missed calls while I was still inside the plane, read them, then I held on to my phone while waiting for the hatch door of the plane to open and the passengers to start moving. In less than a minute, I got a call from a familiar local number, so I answered it. Turns out I got a call from a company which I interviewed roughly a month ago and then BAM! I got a job!!
where it all happened
just so you know, everything happened while I was still in the plane and I haven't even had the chance to step foot on Kuching soil! be it fate or coincidence, I don't care because I got a job! everything just felt right and I just smiled after I hung up the phone. For once, in that moment of splendid twisted fate, I was relieved and happy.
and now, it's my 2nd week at work now and everything has changed from my uni days, and fate has turned the final page of that chapter into a new chapter of my life. It's been a tough and challenging one, guess I've got to step up into the working environment, out of my comfort zone and start making big decisions for myself now.
I didn't even know they provide name cards for employees
All the best to all my buddies who's transitioned from their uni days into the working world! Looking forward to all our convocation day :)
p/s: this goes out to you too Ken although you're way past convocation...
