ini adalah path yang aku telah pilih. kalau aku masih berada di path yang sebelumnya, aku dapat rasa yang aku akan still stay a hater. well, not that i've stopped being a hater, tapi at least hati aku sudah kurang satu gundah. sekarang slightly more carefree than before.

elle texted me a few weeks ago, her first week at work:
apa yang buat hidup kita bererti? career? to survive your job? relationship? having the time of your life? routine?

i couldn't really answer her question because it is obviously a subjective one. kau tidak boleh ikut erti hidup orang lain pasal kau tidak hidup cara dia. kau hidup cara kau, senang dengan cara kau sendiri. well, aku fikir, manusia memang tidak akan pernah puas dengan apa yang mereka ada. diberi betis, mahu peha. kita berlumba-lumba to get more. dan bila kau mula mahu settle down, kawan-kawan kau cakap, "seriously, you deserve better", how sure are they? what if apa yang kau ada sekarang adalah apa yang kau deserve? okay, so my job's not the coolest thing but i still can afford a car, a nice place to stay, parties, good food, this and that.

jadi macam mana mahu tahu kau punya taraf 'better'?

To each her/his own. Eventho' they could have meant well when they said it but what gives anyone the right to justify what is "better" for you?

After all, you're the only one who can set up the standards for yourself.

Anywaaay, macam mana nak tahu eh? We'll know, in due time I guess. Heh.
