Life in Technicolor

When I stop and ponder, I realize that I am just another paper chaser, fitting into the norm, working my way through problems. But hey, ain't life supposed to be like this? Some people want to make it big, pursue till the end to seek what they want, while some just enjoy the little things in life, going through daily lives as a commoner. I happen to be the latter, as most of the time, I love to sit at the back seat, looking at how things progress. I like things to happen slowly as I enjoy process rather than the result. And yes, it would be good if it comes with results too.

I have been working and studying for the past weeks, and it had never been more meaningful for me to enjoy doing laboratory work again, even if it takes pains to synthesize and analyze my products. I see that I was going through motions for the last two years, trying hard to complete the practical work and examinations without understanding much theories hidden within. Only this semester, I do my own research, exploring Chemistry with a whole new perspective. I am proud of myself for doing that, and I do hope it shows in the results too. However, I already learnt much about myself and more about what I do not know.

I confidently feel that time was well spent, whether it was with my love ones, earning my bread and butter, or juggling with lab reports, I've accomplished so much more, in dealing with problems decisively, and to be more vocal and expressive. It feels enriching and wholesome. Hence, life is in technicolor, decided by our attitudes, and not how much we have physically.

With that, I look forward to the adventure of my own, and will have the best of both worlds when that time arrive.
