As long as I do the ending. For the course of my writing career I have created things that I havent begun, and things that I havent finished. I can no longer remember the things I havent started but what is bothering me is the things I want to finish but I cant. Well, its not like I cant, but then I get stuck in the middle and procrastinate, get excited for the ending that I forget what was in the middle.

Yeah, these things are the ones that I always mull over and continue every now and then, but at the end of the day I see myself far from the ending than when I started.

Endings are great. It just gives a great feeling for me when I finish a story, and it feels like a signal for me to start anew. A new beginning. There are a million possibilities. And so, you can imagine just how frustrated I am for not being able to finish what I have started.

On reading stories, or starting a series, or anything that I find will take me a long time to finish, one thing I usually do is to go ahead and watch the ending. I know it will be a spoiler for me but then if it turned out to have a bad ending, it would save me from the trouble and not watch the entire series at all. 

So then, I was thinking. If this habit of mine has saved me from a lot of frustration and lost time, maybe I should do the same as when I write stories. Right after the beginning, I would write the ending that I like, and work through it. This is something I find brilliant at the moment, and I cant wait to try it after this month challenge. I hope I can finish what I started.

Less than a year to go before the presidential elections and he media has started a coverage frenzy on who would be the potential candidates. When I was younger I feel so hyped out whenever this period happens and even though I am too young to vote, I was still excited. Now, more than three elections later, times have changed, I have witnessed a lot of those politicians say their piece, have their chance in the limelight, be suddenly forgotten, eat their words, join a former rival group, the works. I've somehow develped an apathy towards them. Like no matter who the politicians would be, it would not make a difference. They are all one and the same. They would cheat, change sides, do some shameless advertising, all for he sake of a win. All for the sake of money. I've seen them unravel their true sides. The ones you thought were heroes were just as controversial as the villain they were trying to fight. It was all a matter of perspective. The oned who reveal the information to ...

You may have one of those things in your past. When you were young and you thought that you are free to do anything in the world. When you felt like every moment should be seized and every dream should be fulfilled. These days it can easily be described as YOLO. You know, you only live once. But then one day you wake up all grown up and have taken a few responsibilites here and there, with the wisdom enough to do better than use Yolo as an excuse. And then, on one fateful day you see the remnants of what you did in the past and just have a look of disbelief and suddenly ask yourself what really made you do it in the first place. You know, the after effects of those wild things you did when you were young and free. I happened to have that same experience today, and it was equally shocking as the last time I had it. Still, many people can consider me a late bloomer. I was right in that. In my student days, I studied like my life depended on it and literally had no time to dawdle around o...

Days 22

I am finally home and am early! It's all thanks to God. He probably planned it in advance. Well, thanks as well to my office mate Niel, who happened to live in Almar. So with all of this, a big thank you! Which gives me time to write for the day since I'm not as exhausted as I would be. Today we went bowling. It's not the typical competition bowling where I had to do my best and be nervous all the time, it's the relaxed version of bowling, where no one really cares about your score and you eat tons of food. The only score you'ld care about is your own, and I have actually done pretty well when I'lm not nervous. Only that, I can't help but remember the good bowling memories when we were in a tournament and everyone has to do their best. I've seen so good techniques that I feel like no one in my team can actually compare to our usual players back then. A strike for them is usual, most of the time, they strike or spare. It's not unheard of to get double...
