consecutive happenings

i cannot even remember the last time i sat down and wrote. i've kind of been feeling apathetic and indifferent towards life lately, making things uninteresting. ive realized all it does to me is make me count down the days until i go home, but actually i've been doing a lot of cool stuff.

i guess the only major thing that ISNT happening lately is no major changes.. therefore no life epiphanies or theories to publish. i guess thats why i haven't written. nothing too much to vent off about either. so, i guess i can't complain. but i've done a bunch of super cool trips. like that three day vacation away from the city to green island and taroko

and that time pat and i biked from my house to danshui from 2:30 AM to 5:30 am. i have attempted to learn to surf (no success thus far.. attempting again this weekend though),  and some other day adventures with my good friends in taiwan. andrew came to visit me. having a friend from home made me realize in such a drastic way that i have two completely separate lives. and i guess i have changed a lot from the person i used to be. i mean i still like the same things and have the same values but i think i go through life differently. i've grown up. i've grown up having friends that are older than me,  but more so i've grown up being so independent. it's funny. for the last two years my parents kept telling me i wasnt going to be capable of taking care of myself. i'm doing a pretty good job. not completely independent but more so than most of my friends. sometimes i want to feel like a kid again though. i'm not saying i'm completely not a kid anymore, i just mean sometimes i want to feel vulnerable and like i have no control over what happens. sometimes i wish there was someone that would say "everything will be okay if you do what i tell you to do" but i guess this is growing up.

anyways, 25 more days until i go home. here's a new approach to life i've recently decided to start applying. whenever making a tough decision ask yourself: what's the worst that could happen? what's the best that could happen? obviously extreme circumstances excluded i'm not talking about war, death and epidemics, okay.
