We are all role-playing creatures

We are all role-players.

A show needs multiple roles to go on - bad guy, good guy, pretty actress, supporting actor, calefare.
Without the multitude of roles, the show can't run and nothing will happen basically.


The same thing can be said of the roles that are assumed when humans interact.

Where there is a boss, there will be an employee.
Where there is a tyrant, there will be a meek victim.
Where there is a giver, there will be a taker.

Relationships and roles are always relative.
It's hard or almost impossible to have 2 parties doing the same thing.

Case in point:
In a relationship, it's seldom you see 2 people playing the same role.
There will be one half who gives more, while the other half receives more.
Even if they started off being equally giving, gradually it evolves somewhat into a more lopsided relationship.

It's like if all the leading roles in a show has been taken up, you will be forced to take the remaining supporting roles.

If your other half is already always giving, then it's natural that you will adapt and take on the role of the receiver and get used to erm... receiving.

So... pick your role/s wisely!

拼什么？

我在拼什么 在意什么最多
为了什么又累又寂寞
不怕别人误会了
就怕最在乎的人 也不想懂
有些时候我会做梦
盼望 回过头你在身后
温柔看我 没有不快乐
没有逼我做抉择
懂我拼什么 懂我最宝贝你了

Your True Value

When you're at the top of your game, people tend to fawn around you.
They go out of the way to make life easy for you, and make you feel special.

When you're down and out, the people who used to fawn around you disappear.
They look for the next in-form player to attach themselves to, and a new cycle begins.

The people who stick around throughout your ups and downs - they are the ones who really matter.
They judge you by your character, and they see your true value and potential.
These are the people I look for when I decide who I wanna work with.

I have wandered for a long, long time, and I find myself now lost in a valley.
I know very well that I have to do the walking myself, but I figured I could use some help/direction.
So... I ask familiar faces around me if they could point me in the right direction.

From valley to peak

I get mixed responses.
Some former fawners are now scorners.
Some remain as helpful as ever and talk to me as if I have never left.

Just know that I won't be lost for any much longer in the valley.
When I climb my way to the top of the mountain, the same fawn trick won't work again.

An Awakening

It's not a nice feeling when you see your loved one lying on the bed, and suffering from so much pain.

My dad's op was successful, and he's currently recovering from it.
But it's still quite upsetting to see him grimacing; even breathing seems painful to him now.

He will recover fully eventually, that im sure.

It's just that when I was at the hospital earlier and I was looking at him, it made me realize how important and dear each and every member of my family is to me.

There are moments when you look at your parents, and you think to yourself...

"爸妈好像老了。。。"

Made me determined to climb out of this rut,
and climb out I will.

---

It's always during such moments of vulnerability do we realize the most important people, are always the people we take for granted.

The people who genuinely care so much about you, and the people you know you can always count on when you're down and out...

..in sunshine and in shade.

Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.

---

I might not have did a lot, but when the occasions called for it, I was sure I gave it my utmost attention and care.

And it was something I was (and still am) very willing to do.

But it sucks when you find out that your attention is just one aplenty out there,
like a substitute.
like a commodity.

A day of many awakenings.

Hope everything goes well

My dad will be having an op tomorrow to remove the stones in his body.

Hope everything will go smoothly and my dad will be as fit as a fiddle after that.

不知所措

I'd like to think i'm usually quite rational, but when it comes to things like this, I usually do not know what to do.

And when I think about what I usually advise others when they tell me about their issues, it makes it even more ironic. haha

可能就等一天，看一天吧。。。
