Interstellar.

I really loathe writing blog posts at night.
Or even writing blog posts at all.
Because once I start, I could go on forever.
Three to even six hours, to be exact.
But my mind/heart/gizzard won't let me, and that's the whole point.
...
But today we shall make an exception.
I have again stumbled upon my ponderous ways.
So for six hours straight we have slept into the days, and today was to be an exception - but nonetheless I fell right into the abyss of provoked thoughts.

I have always been fascinated with the world, and I have been more and more fascinated with everything that goes around me.
It's funny how many people are actually just taking our world for granted, and I have always had that thought for as long as I lived, until only recently.
The whole world then came to my senses - all it's beauty has enveloped me all in a span of less than two years.

It's beautiful, this world.

It is.

I have never been a kid who asks lots and lots of questions. As a kid, people might stereotype you as someone who'll ask loads of questions to quench your curiosity but as a matter of fact I have never asked a lot of questions. I was always the one sitting at the far end of the class, the quietest of them all.
But these few years have been an eye-opener for me.
It closed instruction manuals and I was the one who's pushing open doors ahead of me, instead of others guiding me the way.
For the first time, I felt I was thinking.

I have heard many people say that they only find the true meaning of life when they are in their 40s or 50s, and that proves how hard it is for loads of people to drive your true will, undeterred by the strong undercurrent that pushes you to be the mainstream stereotype until you realize how much you were influenced and then only you want to live life as you want it to be.

I have been .. quietly seeing.

Too many people are scrutinizing the future, until it, like an invisible veil, has secluded the present.
People worry about the future too much to be enjoying life as it is.
I have become a kid that I have never ever thought I was capable of -
I craved questions. So many questions that have never seem to bother me in the past have been tugging at my sleeves for so many moments.
Sometimes, people give you the wrong perspectives.
Others give you the right ones yet we fail to see it.
Once my friend told me that 'once you learn Physics and Chemistry, you'll feel that the world has lost its magic'.
I have learnt those sciences, scared and wary at first; but it took me onto a whole new level of magic instead. The world became so much more beautiful after that.
Like how all of us are made up of tiny elements, yet with every breath we take, with every move we make, with every thing we see - how is it possible that we are still alive, still feeling all the different emotions chemicals alone are not capable of?
Like how our eyes are just a ball, yet we can see everything, and isn't that such an absolute wondrous thing?
Like what is hot and what is cold? What is pain and what is the feeling of the softest cotton you have ever felt?
What is it like to breathe, and feel all the air gushing into your lungs - and the magic that makes you alive!

....And like how I've just learnt that LIGHTNING and RAIN changes nitrogen and oxygen into acid to help plants! It's the circle of life right there! It's how the whole wide world playing it's very part to keep this whole world alive and breathing! And it's magic is beautiful! It is!
It's those geeky things that sometimes give people wonders, haha ^-^

I'm really sleepy now, sorry everyone! But thank you Christopher Nolan for Interstellar today - I really really want to learn all about this world and this universe too, and I also want to do my very best to help this world be a better place as always!

Let the present come, the future awaits!
