Day 31 - Day 48

Day 31: A bit about your social life outside of Tumblr
   Nothing out of the ordinary really. I like good music, good books, exploration in this puny little island I live in, always amazed at the little treasures that can be found in the tiniest of corners. I smoke, hang out with my friends, and as of late, have found great pleasure in chugging down good ol' beer.

Day 32: Whether you’d rather marry someone who’s rich but ugly, or poor but attractive
   No matter what I choose, either one choice would be perceived as superficial or materialistic. So I guess I'd be a wimp and say that I wouldn't rather marry one over the other, I'd just let my heart decide, when the time happens of course.

Day 33: Someone who really hurt you
   Jovian Josiah Lim.

Day 34: Your horoscope for today and whether you think it’s accurate
   "Withdrawing from emotional social contact is favored now, for even when you are with others you are likely to feel separate and alone. Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers are particularly bothersome to you now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems. It is a time to be quiet and to look objectively at how your relationships are going. Though not a pleasurable time, this can be a fruitful period in which to learn more about love and what you truly value."

Doesn't get as accurate as this, does it?

Day 35: Words you live by, why do you like them?
   Fuck it. It's fearless, and I've lived in fear for years too many.

Day 36: What you think about your friends?
   They're great people, hence my choice to stay friends with them.

Day 37: Who are you?
   I don't know. From the bottom of my heart, I have no clue. I've been cracking my brain these past couple of years trying to answer that, but really, I don't know.

Day 38: Thoughts on your generation
   Lack of appreciation.

Day 39: Why you think you’ve learned more from the good or the bad?
   I've learnt more from the bad. I guess when good things happen, there's a momentary sense of joy and satisfaction, but happiness, to me, is always fleeting. It's the bad things in which I learn the greatest from. It's in these horrid experiences which I learn how to do things differently, how to protect myself and others. Basically, it makes me a stronger person, and at the end of the day, what gets me through everything is strength.

Day 40: What are features you get complimented on a lot?
   My eyes, I think. I don't know, I like to block out compliments and respond with a nervous laugh followed by a complaint about my other features.

Day 41: Write a letter to yourself stating all the things you love about yourself
   A letter would be too much. I suppose a napkin with one sentence would be more fitting -I love how I've learnt not to give as much fuck as I used to.

Day 42: Your best friend just died, what is your reaction?
   Jump off a building.

Day 43: Is it possible to lie without saying a word?
   Yes it is.

Day 44: When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just do what you know is right?
   When you realize that all you've doing your whole life is making these calculations and that it reaps no benefits but causes more harm.

Day 45: When was the last time you tried something new?
   Two weeks ago - I got drunk.

Day 46: What makes you smile?
   Good morning texts.

Day 47: Is the truth always good to hear, why or why not?
   Yes, it hurts to hear it most of the time, but it is good. It creates awareness and it sort of lifts this weight off your shoulders. It can hurt, but there's nothing worse than the guilt that accompanies the lie that is told.

Day 48: Your life story in three words
   BIG FUCKING MESS
