Being me is just about the same as driving a car, alone.
I have a tendency to hurt those who're too close to me, like how you would scratch another car when you go too near to it. Disappointing those who're close to me is not something new, it's a routine, a habit, a painfully common characteristic I display only to close ones.
I don't know why, maybe because I don't know how to be closer anymore.
Sometimes I hate globalisation too much.
Last time we have romantic hand-written letters, passionate rendezvous, joyful adventure into the woods, knowing people by word of mouth, and so on.
Now with the net, e-mails replaced letters, instant messaging replaced rendezvous, surfing the web replaced adventures, social networking websites replaced the whole process of meeting someone new in person.
Sometimes it feels so incredibly superficial, and so fragile, it's so easy to do everything by just sitting in a chair with a connected computer and a pair of fast moving hands, that it's not surprising that everything can also crash within minutes, or even seconds.
It's so easy to believe in fate and serendipity in the past but now, whenever someone approaches you it makes you think twice and whether the person's interested in your online appearance or your looks or indeed your very essential soul content.
The net makes the world so small, that it cuts down a lot of surprises life has in store for us.
"I don't know how to be friends with you anymore."
That's what Bree said to Katherine in Desperate Housewives Season 4.
Indeed, for two persons with such similar characteristics and interests, sometimes things are just too alike that they repel from each other like how magnets do when the same poles are being brought together.
Sometimes it's the differences that bring people together, not the similarities.
Human relationship can be a very interesting subject, if you intend to look at it from a scholastic manner. Sometimes it can be so hard to predict what someone would do, what he/she would think, that's it's almost impossible to have any fixed theories regarding the subject. That's because every human must have at least one difference from each other.
