I know, I know... It's way past the due date for a Chinese New Year post, but hey, there's still about a week left of it to go. Plus I had to get over the manderinannualgenesisophobia. Five yu shengs in two weeks is too much of a painful reminder.
How long can people go through the same motions, yet with the meaning still intact? How long does it take for that which once moved you to cause you to scream 'cliche'? How long does it take to take that magic away?
Some let the sunset burn a permanent mark in their minds, leaving a residual scar of an amazing moment, only to never feel the same way again. Others let the sunset in, charge it rent then let it out, free to visit again whensoever it wants to.
Surely we can't all desensitize. Surely the motions can still carry the meanings. Surely not everything degenerates. Surely the future's worth looking forward to.
I'll never know though, but here's to making an effort to appreciate it.
After all, you can only lose the meaning of things when you don't have your eyes on it.

haha another brilliant post, dear boy. perfect stuff to mull and linger over in the midst of poverty alleviation readings for tmr's test. haha
i like to think that attachments n meanings are formed only when you let them and other than that, you can shut things out and save them for more worthwhile events. but then i've been proven wrong in the course of life. scary how the most cliche of things which you try hard to desensitize yourself to are etched most deeply.
ok enough rambling. i think i'm so zonked all that didn't make much sense. haha
