'08 has been a real rollercoaster of a year. To put it all down in words would be too tedious, too dramatic -- so I'll just close my eyes at the stroke of midnight and thank God that the dust is slowly but surely settling.

Things will change by my 21st birthday. They have to.

This cannot be right... On the 18th of September, my grandfather passed away. Just a few hours ago, his daughter, my aunt, has gone to join him.

Two funerals in two weeks. This cannot be right.

Times like these you really question what you're living for.

This week's PostSecrets hit quite close to home... I've had this conversation with a few people before. To those of you who have considered having children, I'm sure that everyone wants their kids to turn out perfect. If not perfect, at least everything that the parents-to-be themselves couldn't be.

If one day, I decide to have a child, what would hold me back the most would be the possibility of my child not being that perfect child. Not being a genius, having inherited my physical flaws, not being athletic enough -- and all that is just quite superficial. Worse, what if my child turns out to be a meanie inside? Jealous, or greedy, or just plain unkind. Worst of all, if a child is born with physical defects, or health problems that are hard to get rid of, how is any parent supposed to live with that?

It's a tough world out there, and only the best will survive. I personally would want my child to be the best they can be -- and better.

But everybody deserves a chance to be born, right?

So... School has started for about two weeks now, and I'm already swamped with assignments and projects. Staying in school for more than 12 hours a day is foreign to me, but apparently I've gotta get used to it. I think school's getting to me. I went a little crazy this afternoon, and after a good night out with Kat and the others, this guy was being really annoying so I mouthed him off without hesitation, only to realise I'd embarrassed myself and my friends.

So Sperm, I'm sorry for snapping at you, you being a random stranger and all. It is true that people have to deal with my shit, and I'm sorry you bore the brunt of it, though you're just another one of those guys who thinks that just because you're a certain color, you can talk shit to anyone and get away with it. I'm also sorry you had to be the bigger person and take my crap.

But most of all, I'm sorry you're bald. No matter how much you'd like to convince yourself that you 'have a full head of hair and [you] just like to shave it all off', it's not a good look for you -- but you can't really help it, can you?
