The purpose of life...

Life.... so strange... its been more than a year since my last post.... There's been so much I have learnt in the past 2 years that I barely recognize the person who wrote the last posts...

The thing is, I used to divide my life into chapters based on the relationships I was in.

The two women I loved... and who left me.

They've taught me lots, and though it hurt then, and still does sometimes, I am very grateful to them for having been in my life. I wonder if they look back into their past with the same fondness that I do....

Anyway, I realize now what mistakes I had done in my relationships. The greatest lesson I learnt was self-worth. If I can respect others, and treat them like they are unique, then what is preventing me from treating myself the same way? It's a good lesson to learn...

Earlier, there were a few words that I believed were the foundation of who I was.... Truth. Freedom. Choice. Justice. Somehow, the words don't seem so important anymore, even though I am living those words more truly than ever before. I've learnt to stop lying to myself....

More than the relationships, me being who I am is because of books... I suppose my being an atheist as a child was just something to be to shock my peers. It's funny how religious & god-loving girls tend to me.... compared to guys.

I really want to put out a list of books that inspired me... a very long list, but they are truly mind-blowing... Will start out next time....
