came back horrible.

This must be some kind of wake-up call. Perhaps, despite my Asian features, I am not meant to develop and flourish in the scientific field.

I should accept that I will spend the rest of my life working at McDonald’s. Perhaps even get a promotion to fries fryer.

Oh, who am I kidding. I’m obviously going to get promoted to manager and then I’ll obtain ownership of said McD’s and finally take over all fast food restaurants in the world and be rich.

After all, if I can’t be a doctor, what better way to contribute to hospitals: send ‘em fast food filled patients.

Resolution of being happier still unbroken. Come at me, world.

The Hetalia movie. Was amazing. I’m just sitting here in awe at what I just experienced. Got me laughing all the way through and reminded me of all the classic Hetalia jokes.

It was light-hearted, just so nice to watch and it had a nice message going on behind the surface.

On an even brighter note, I’m finally done cleaning my room!

Is what I’m hoping to be this year. I did picture my ideal saint-like self in many different hypothetical situations. Somehow, those thoughts don’t translate well into actual actions.

Still, positivity is becoming quite endangered these days. Society even seems to encourage bursts of negativity and teenage angst.
I honestly think it’s so much more beautiful to have people spending time with me because they get a nice feeling around me.
Therefore, I’ll do my best to cast my tendency to be pessimistic aside.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t intend to be an optimist. Realist is still the way to go for me. Cheers to a happier, nicer and kinder year!

to start using this Tumblr as my diary.

I mean, the Internet is a lot more likely to survive than the notebooks and scraps of paper that I use to write on. In fact, it’s always nice to know that perhaps, in the distant future, some human or other individual will stumble across this account of mine and be in awe at how a living organism is able to organize such amazing thoughts and convey them into words. By then, they will most likely have to decipher this text and surely, some brave alumni shall curse my existence because had I not decided to use this Tumblr as my diary, they would not have to worry about their upcoming ancient literature exam (but they would be wrong, for without me, the teacher would simply select another less pertinent little blog). So, dear hypothetical student that is working very hard to understand what I’m rambling on about, know that hating me is quite pointless and that I shall occasionally aid your comprehension with pictures whenever I have the time (or you can try your modern version of Sparknotes and Cliffnotes).

And worry not, with time, I might grow on you. And you might like me. Just keep in mind that I do care for you, whoever you are. Because every life is rare and interesting, despite being insignificant and easily forgotten. Every person has the ability to experience things none other has ever experienced. So I leave you with these words of deep, deep, wisdom:

Wishing to live someone else’s life is as useful as trying to breathe with one’s ass.

Because then you’d be wasting time wishing when you could use it for bigger, better things. Like reading this.

And if… I am the only one who is going to read this, then I shall have a chuckle or two at my stupidity as I look back with my older eyes.
