we will find peace in the chaos

Maybe I do have an identity crisis. This might be great news to some friends who think I suffer from this perpetual identity crisis since admitting you have a problem is the first step, but unlike what they think, this goes beyond constantly feeling like I’m one with various nationalities or ethnicities (I’ll spare you the details) It’s just….

I don’t know what I am, who I am.

Maybe it’s me wondering what I’m doing with my life, what I want from it.. I’ve had these thoughts before but I don’t know why its been gnawing at the back of my mind recently (Maybe because I’m watching my friends turn 20, and yes I know, I will soon as well.. Maybe its because I’m on holiday, with no job and I’m feeling the need to do something.. Maybe its hormones? You know because those things are ClassA Douche and when all else fails just blame it on hormones)

Figuring yourself out seems to be socially acceptable when you’re in your teens, but now that I’m getting older and people around me(well ok maybe on my Facebook newsfeed) getting married or having internships or living life.. Figuring yourself out just seems to get more pressing, even difficult.

But at 20, I don’t need to have my shit together, right?

I guess that guy who ran over the dog will pay for it back home…

I really like PostSecret.

I think its perfect you know, writing a secret on a postcard to someone and just sending it off, it seems like pretty liberating stuff.. It’s different I guess from this video, its not anonymous anymore. You can’t just write something and put it in the mail and hope to see it on the Postsecret website on Sunday. If someone were to stop me down a street and ask me what my secret was, I would not know what to say. Nothing comes to my mind. And that puzzles me because I don’t think I’ve ever been a completely open book (alcohol does not count hahaha kidding) so I don’t know why it’s so hard. Maybe because whatever I feel I can never really verbalize properly, maybe its this convoluted mess or something but I don’t really think so. Maybe I just haven’t lived enough yet. Maybe I’m just that boring a person. I don’t know, which I guess is my phrase for every damn post I make here because well, I really don’t know anything. 

Life.

& if I die before I wake

Last year I did a couple of things to cross off my Bucket List, things I thought were out of my reach (like visiting Africa and getting my ass on a scary roller coaster) So I thought why not create another list and keep adding things to it. Maybe some day, I can cross these off too. (In no particular order)

Bag pack across Europe

Have coffee and cake in a quaint cafe by cobblestone streets.

have a joint

Visit Devil’s Pool in Victoria Falls. (Do I really want to though? Do I have the balls to be that close to the edge?)

Visit South America

Pierce something other than my ears/ tattoo

Visit Japan during Cherry blossom season

Attend Holi festival (preferably next year, better if in India itself)

See the Northern lights or some sort of cool natural phenomenon

Make use of living in Southeast Asia and actually visit more of it when I can

Learn another language

Get better at Kristang and find someone to speak it with (you know before they all die off)

Attend Poetry slam/ Stand-up comedy night/ nude sketch class.

Find an underground club in a city like London or New York, listen to bands

Attend meditation/ yoga

Another West End musical or one on Broadway

Meet someone at a museum/plane/on top of some building like the Eiffel tower or Empire State/ anywhere extremely cliched and awesome

Swim. (HAHA kidding I can totally swim… right?)

Take a trip with my girls (Soon..;))

Buy my Parentals a beach house somewhere special

Keep a journal for a prolonged period of time, dammit

Ride an elephant, camel or unicorn

Be in the audience for a talk or concert or event that can be beautiful (think Obama’s inauguration, JK rowling’s commencement speech, Postsecret events, TED talks, Adele concert)

Find out what I’m passionate about /get a job I actually like (really quite impossible, but oh well unattainable lists are still fun)/ Make someone truly happy

I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.
