predictions

Prologue :
We humans are so unpredictable, that the weather forecast is an easier option to a god to play with.


Prediction 1: I will grow to be someone successful.
Based on my so-called achievements during my younger days, who would have thought this girl would end up not being a professional, making tons of money, living a good life? Here I am now, about fifteen years later, no job, parasite-ing (if there is such word) with a friend, living off the meagres of almost zero bank, and worse, blatantly abusing the language and its mechanics.

Prediction 2: I know what I'm doing when I quit.
This is so so untrue. I know that I dislike the involvement in developing products, but to say that I know what I'm doing when I quit, is so totally off the mark. I know I quit, what comes next, I'm still finding. It's saddening, but it's fact. I have hope though.

Prediction 3: So long, it's time to get hitched.
This is cliche. I've heard so many times that all I can do is, shake my empty egg-shell head. I want to whack those who say that, but since my head is so fragile, I shall not want to risk having it break, during retaliation. I value the vacuum space, if that's my worth. That said, length of being in something, does not necessarily follow the supposedly right direction. It's the quality, and the focus, and the want. It's time, what time? You deciding my time now, for me?

Prediction 4: I'll be strong enough.
Now, I thought I'm strong and will be stronger, but yet, most of the time, that's not the case. I'm working on it, real hard. Making decisions and then sticking to it, based not on feelings but on objectives and targets and all logical aspects that I can think of. Familiarity breeds content, how so true, and disturbing. Makes us complacent and timid.

Prediction 5: I'm real independent.
How I would love to be. I may generate that idea, when you see me, meet me, talk to me, but unfortunately, I'm so full of insecurities and am so dependent that you would wonder, if and when you find out, why ain't I finding myself in the movie business? Oscar material! Again, another thing that I'm improving on. Towards the best balance of (in)dependency.

Prediction 6: I'll ramble when I write.
This one, is spot on! Can't help but go on and on and on. The sky's the limit and I have scatter-brain disease. So, help me!


Epilogue :
See how many predictions of me that I failed to fulfill. From the above, this post of course, isn't about the human race. It's about me, hence, fulfilling prediction 6. It's life little idiosyncrasies. Unfortunately, some people will need to put up with this daily. Fortunately, the circle is not exponentially expanding. Have a nice day!
