When the sun goes down.


  Today was truly refreshing. I had gone to Melissa's place to hang out for majority of the day. I hadn't seen her in ages, apart from when we coincidentally ran into each other a few days back. We finally managed to film the 'Best Friend Tag', and then proceeded to make some walnut and Oreo brownies. I have no regrets, other than the fact that we didn't add enough sugar haha. Both my sweet-tooth and state of mind were satisfied.

  But to top it off, I surprisingly had a pretty pleasant time at Melissa's youth group. I had just decided to tag along, to be honest. We got there early, and I was greeted by tons of super friendly people. I guess that shocked me, and I felt like I wasn't in a place to exactly socialise. For most part, I stayed reserved in my own sea of thoughts. The upside was that I had Melissa, Lynn and Yuxian to be with. I also made a new friend or two, which was quite nice. (Yo Alena or Christy, if you're reading this hahah. I don't usually mention people but whatever, you guys are exceptions.)

  The main thing that struck me today was our in-depth discussion. I, for one, have never been a religious person. Growing up, my parents had never enforced much religion onto me. My Grandma was a strong believer, and she would teach me the ways of God. We would sing songs praising the Lord, yet I only ever caught on to the catchy tunes. There was no sheer purpose that had quite spoken to my heart. Also, I went to a convent-based school for most of my primary years, and the practice of religion was repetitive. Though, the fact that we were young and ignorant made us go with the flow. I never questioned it; although over the past few years I have never followed religion of any sort so much as I've done with my heart. I've always believed that only you, and you, can affect how you live and how you decide to see things. I've always felt that measuring up to a superior force is just a guarantee, just assurance. That's just my opinion though, there's 6-7 billion others.

  After today's cell discussion though, I still take my stand but I've been enriched with more opinions. I was able to be heard out today, for my reasons of why I didn't understand religion. In return, I was fed with personal stories and perspectives. My curiosity levels were off the charts though, and I couldn't stop rebutting what everyone had said. I sure hope I didn't offend anybody. 

  I suppose that being humans, we are left to find out everything by ourselves. And as I may have mentioned many times before; there are so many things left in this universe that I have yet to grasp the concept of. This modern age offers exposure of all kinds of diversity. It's all complicated, us humans who settle on agreeing to disagree. You know, I wonder if ignorance really is bliss.

  What do you think, fellow human being?

  1. "That's just my opinion though, there's 6-7 billion others." I love that line! So true.

    I think religion is a toughy. I'm a born again Christian, but I know a lot of people associate that with rule-following, especially the hard-core Christian schools and stuff like that. But for me, it's about knowing that I have a relationship with God and can always talk to Him about whatever I'm worrying about. Which is, a lot. LOL I also think it's good to have discussions with friends of other faiths because it does open your mind to new perspectives. :)

  2. Oh Religion what a complicated subject. I've been to the youth group a couple of times and I don't feel converted, I guess it's just not for me huh. Oh well the way I see it, people can worship whom ever as long as they don't expect me to as well. And wow I never knew your grand was religious! x

  3. I don't have a religion either, but my whole life I have gone to a Catholic school. I totally agree with what you said "only you, and you, can affect how you live and how you decide to see things. I've always felt that measuring up to a superior force is just a guarantee, just assurance. That's just my opinion though, there's 6-7 billion others." x
