i think a lot people have an overly romanticized perception of paris. i've met a handful who have been there and still love it, but most who speak about it as if it's all about the eiffel and the fashion and the louvre and the macarons are those who have not gone there and have seen paris only through travel books and movies. i cannot be sure if the reason lies in the travel partner, but prague was way more romantic in many ways. it didnt reek of the pretentiousness of people trying to exude class by sipping wine at 4 in the afternoon, or clueless people wandering around art museums pretending to appreciate a painting, or obnoxious locals answering you in a string of french sentences and acting like english came from outer space. so the more i thought about prague, my thoughts drifted to M.

i was speaking to T just yesterday and he said sometimes i dont have to be so honest. but then i said, i like being honest because i value truth. and it is in being brutally honest, especially so with yourself, and at times towards others, that i remind myself of whats real in this conceited world we live in. people tell me its not easy to always tell the truth, be it partial or complete. but i think the more difficult thing is to decide if you are sure about hearing the truth because it is very often not what you want to hear.

and i will be unapologetic for the things i do and the way i behave in the pursuit of what i want. and i will be brash and blunt because i have the benefit of youth and time. and i will stand for my beliefs and disregard those who dare challenge them.

i had no idea what to think when S wrote me out of the blue and said he would be back in sg for a bit. because afterall, i've no intentions of being anything more than acquaintances after everything ended, much less expect to see them ever again considering that they are all not locals here. with the exception of M, i would actually prefer never to see them again even if things didnt finish on bad terms. to put it bluntly, mistakes should only occur once.
