Everyone has dreams, but only a few will have the skill and the providence to realize them.
Everyone wants love, but only will some find the kind that they are looking for.
Today I looked at some of Dian Tika's writings. I felt a mixture of jealousy and awe.
Chris is right to say that sometimes, university seems like a conveyor belt where raw minds are processed into uniform, cookie-cutter products for corporate consumption.
------------------------------
It seems that for the sake of sounding cool and emo, I've apparently made a few exaggerations and misquoted someone at the same time. Lol.
I guess the point is simply... Exams this semester really, really suck.
------------------------------
Only a small proportion of the people who graduate will honestly that they've landed on a career that fulfills them. The rest of us may grow up lamenting the days when we danced, performed in a band, or kicked a soccer ball around.
How do we keep these dreams alive in a system where staying alive most likely means having to be a cog in that system? Does the answer imply sacrifice? And if it does, which part of you will you end up giving?
You can't bailout by answering with "Time" or "Energy". It may end up needing... more than that.

I said that? dang, I must have been high.
hahaha oops have I misquoted you?
Nevermind I'll edit later on. Lol.
haha.. No no.. I was just kidding. I don't often say quotable things ^^ Catch me when I'm frustrated and/or pissed off. Usually gems pop right out in between the expletives.
You got it right the first time btw. =P
