Quote of the month
"The onus should not be on me to justify to you that i deserve the refund, but on you to convince me as to why i should be paying you"
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Just a random thought; when and how does one make a decision to let an old friendship die? Should one expend energy trying once in a while to nurse that dying flame, even when it suddenly becomes apparent that the flame isn't reciprocating these efforts by providing any warmth in return.
I always half-heartedly believed that friends are borne through circumstance, mostly because likeness of personalities tend to be a better substitute for common events. And yet, without circumstance, perhaps conversations tend to become restricted to the past more often than not. Even then I believe personalities can subvert this obstacle. But only if it is mutual between the two friends.
So when should one finally say "screw this, you try to initiate once, you try ten times to get things together and catch up, and he/she never seem interested anyway, i'm sick of this" Well, perhaps I have reached such a threshold. I guess it's difficult when people are much more comfortable when everything has to be moulded according to their convenience, even if it's at the expense of everyone else in a group. I'd say conviction has pretty much subsided into indifference.
Is it better to succumb to the ebb-and-flow nature of friendships or be selective and cling on to those you believe matter, as futile as it may seem sometimes.
For all my words, i just hope i've never put anyone in that situation.

Then there are those brief moments where everything beautiful in life becomes more pronounced and appreciable. And it strikes you suddenly as you sit down and the images run through your mind. Moods are really merely a distraction. There should only be focus. But why is that so hard? Why does focus and motivation only appear when you encounter such catalysts? It is so easy to let the few bad events overwhelm everything else.
There really is so much i have to be thankful for. And there is so much i have to repay. I need to constantly realize that. I guess when you encounter those brief moments of thankfulness and appreciation, you gotta hold on to it as long as you can.
STUDY more than you ever have, Jame. You know who you're doing it for.
