In Your Own World
July 22, 2011I now understand why people sometimes choose to be lost, no, not lost, in their own world. Perhaps it’s not such a bad thing after all. It could be a refuge, a haven, a quiet place, a controlled environment, where one coils or cuddles back into, where one feels a sense of security and comfort, whether false or not, at least it feels so. For a while now, I’ve been too much of a fire element, too hot-blooded, having a response and reaction to every stimulus, fighting for every little cause, expressing freely directly responsibly, whether at work or in my personal life, it’s been a bit too much to take, for me and probably the people around me, it might be a negative energy, I want to mellow down, less is more, keep some, go easy, be sometimes a bit ignorant, more of a water element, be sometimes a bit more in my own world, and it might be easier.
I told a friend, “I want to be more like you. More in your own world. And now I understand why.” I asked if she was optimistic or pessimistic, she said she’s hopeful. Sometimes, you feel as if you haven’t been good enough for the world or haven’t lived up to it. It was suggested it might be heathy to occasionally also believe “sometimes, perhaps, the world hasn’t exactly lived up to you too.” Not that anyone owes you a living though, not in that sense.
People sometimes live with arms wide open, only to be hurt and then they recoil into their own world; people sometimes break out of their shells in an attempt to welcome and let in the world again. Funny how life can be a constant flux like that, huh.
It’s really not a bad thing to be in your own world.
Ignorance is bliss
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
I really like this quote alot from Alice in Wonderland. =)
I am pretty sure everyone of us have our own world. A world that only we know. A world exisitng only for us.
That is where we go to heal from a wound, to mourn a lost, to rejoyce madly about something, to repent from our mistakes/guilt, and many more.
That is probably the only place where we will feel safe and be able to be ourselves and (hopefully) think rationally. =))
Hi let’s come join us for Nepal trekking, it is time to leave all these behind and seek solitude in the realms of mountains =)
I wish I can be in my very own world, doing things that I like, without any commitments and worries for myself, families and friends. Isn’t it great ? But the qns is CAN I ??? It will be definitely in our own cosy and comfort zone, whether how long can we stay inside there, is another BIG question mark.
yes ignorance is bliss
i love the way u write always
always reading my mind
feeling wat im feeling
u write how i feel
thanks so much idol <3
wwy: i noe how tat feels :(
i guess we all try to live life to the fullest no matter what happened. without a fall, it is hard to know if one has become a stronger person. i can say it is really nice to be in one’s own world for it is like a recharger. :)
hi Elvin, once again we share the same thinking,emotions n experience again… mayb u should come with me, tgt we go to a tranquil peaceful breathtaking place n enjoy our own world… haha
i long for this kinda life… the only thing lacking is a rite person… haha
Hi Elvin! U r finally blogging after a month! :) Yes, i would love living in my own world. Actually being like Zou Jie Ming is not exactly a bad thing. Living in our own world, not worrying too much about anything :)
Life is about yourself and the people around you. The more you want to comprehend, the more difficult it is to comprehend.
Hope is really powerful,when in despair,when in need,hope will shine a light for you.
Having a world of your own is not a bad thing sometimes,you can actually think about what you want in your life.Work is important but nothing is more important than happiness,because when you have happiness,you will have everything.
Most of your entry’s are pretty relatable for
me. But this one in particular, strikes me- especially with the “fire element” mentioned. Indeed, mellowing down, humbling ourselves is probably the best
option out of our predicaments.
Btw, your writing skills are pretty amazing. And since I’m an O Level student, your entries will definitely be helping me to improve my writing skills and all, on the whole. Thanks dude.
I would very much love to be in my own world.
Living on a lifestyle without any worries.
Especially now for me is academic results.
Wa if I can see Elvin in the real person and photo with him more good lor but I also don’t know where he is. .. -_- I like freedom but sometimes freedom not good if you have freedom you will learnt bad things. But even if I want freedom also cannot -_-
no need to close up in your own world just to avoid being.. well.. too much on other or matters etc etc.. i used to be that way too.. too easily mind about things. it depends how strong headed you are. but you’ll just need to tell yourself.. you know, things happens.. all day and everyday.. are you going to mind all of it or even get angry or get to the point to every each of it?
it is not possible at all. true? it logic.
so after some time you’ll get lazy to be angry or even mind or go to the point with little things the pinch. like i’ve said before.. use the energy to be angry etc… might as well choose it well what is more worth for that energy. you’ll be happier too. sometime, even if you get your point across.. so~~~ what~~~~ it doesnt win anything. not saying you should fake to be ok when it not.. but.. being a “no comment” is also not being fake you see.
it good for health in a long run.. trust me. ;)
~ E,
I don’t really know who you are and the only show I’ve ever seen you acting in is the one currently showing Absolutely Charming. I stumbled upon your blog and have been reading your entries. You are quite an interesting person.
I started blogging in March to keep my brain from exploding – if all else fails at least its free therapy. I chose to answer in this entry because well for one thing it’s old so no one will read what I write. Second reason is – I think it’s like hybernating. You conserve your energy and rest before you come out again because life can be so tiring sometimes. Especially if everyone around you is not in sync with the values that you uphold. That’s why I think people ‘get lost’. Nice ‘meeting’ you. ~ G
