On the eve of my profound 500th entry (yes it'll be profound in a way that will change your perception of the world, believe it), I wanna reflect on things that profoundly changed who I am. Three mention of profoundness in two sentences, is that profound enough for you?It'll be easier if you pay attention to the lyrics from one of my favorite songs from the movie Forrest Gump.
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
OK, well, that's not the purpose of this entry. This one is to acknowledge all the situations where I felt like I had the simplistic mindset of Forrest Gump and could run away from the surroundings unembarassed.
1. The time when I told an older person to lose weight because I felt embarassed.
2. Or the time, when I told someone he looked like the rapist on the sketch next to us.
3. Or the time, when I invented a tragedy to seduce someone, only to realize that the story only served to cool off the romance.
4. Or the time, I tried to show off in a job interview by criticizing about an aspect of the company that the person interviewing me spent one year setting up.
Do I wish I could turn back from these situations, and run the other directions before opening my mouth? Sure.
But then it won't be me, would it?
