When hardships stare me in the face, I realize once again, the frailty of my mortal nature. Flesh on bones, with a spirit trapped within. I scream from the inside, but unheard on the outside. The demure countenance masks the inner turmoil of the soul. Maybe Thoreau was right, regarding the state that I am living, a life of quiet desperation.
While typing this, I managed to slip in a couple of minutes with Jung, and turns out I am an ENFJ. If this is true, I am similar to King David of old, as well as, the not-so-newly appointed President, Barack Obama. One of the jobs listed I could do, is a physician. I knew it all along that I should have studied medicine. Somehow, I could see myself as a doctor, but couldn't see how I was going to get there.
I am starting to feel this restless feeling, again. I need a 'reset' button, but I can't find any that's working. All the thoughts of 'if's' and 'what if's' circle my head, forming an intense game of 'police and thief', a Malaysian version of catching. If only I knew answers to life's mysteries. If only...
Now I understand why the public no longer read mainstream news. So much for censorship.
I am tired, and I need some directions. I feel like a headless chicken running around.

ah ENFJ. :) things suddenly make more sense now.
you'd make a good doctor. ( uhm, you even already have the writing, :p ). plus all those pills you carry around. ( and of course that caring persona )
no accidents. just different decisions - longer/shorter routes. but you have time. you STILL have time.
We will never really know the 'if's and 'what if's - the only thing you know you have for sure is today, and the people around you today.
:) i feel the same too sometimes, like i'm running running running around. All I really need to know is that my pivot, my fulcrum is in the good Father who holds it altogether.
Still. we're only human.
You take care there, wiem.
I have a batchmate who is 45 years old. and many other in thirties.

STILL have time. Never too late if He calls.
