Simple Plan

Newfound love, precarious career situation, supportive family, steadfast friends, admiring colleagues…and an inner struggle.

For crying out loud! It’s never going to be easy…life, that is. I think I’m slowly beginning to understand what Mira meant by “I am not simple, I am not that great.” This was last night when I was fighting my self-imposed borderline stress-level indicators.

I thought that I can keep free of hassles and complications in life by maintaining my standards and expectations low. Less details, less issues I told myself. Hence, my simple plan during this quarter-life crisis (as Cherry and Eden would say): to refuse those that may complicate my undemanding existence to be entertained by my feeble mind.

It’s not as if I was having a field day out of my everyday after office life with my friends, nor was I fooling around with every within-arms-reach girls around. I actually deprived myself of those pleasures.
