Sometimes I wonder..is life worked up as it is said to be? Ok. I lied. It is always definitely more than ’some’ of the times. Just that, you know. Just sitting down there in the train, observing people from the various stages in life..you know?
From toddlers, revelling in their innocence..to primary school children poking fun at one another, trying to outdo one another at something which might seem totally meaningless..from secondary school teenagers, with their bags slung way down their back, spiky hair and their puppy love, holding hands..totally engrossed in whispering sweet nothings..to poly students and their stylish clothings, mini-skirts, punk graffitti shirts and banters on the hottest guy/gal in town. From uniformed soldiers in their neatly folded smart #4 uniforms trying to catch a little shut eye…to a man in a neatly pressed smart long-sleeved shirt, scouring the Straits Times intently, in hopes of finding the day’s stock indexes…to finally..an old woman, although seemingly frail with her wrinkles and her white hair, carrying plastic bags which seem to be much too heavy for her, her distant eyes reminiscent of the hardships she had endured throughout her long but fulfilling life..
Sometimes…I just don’t know. I sit there. I smile to myself (metaphorically, of course..can’t be letting everyone out there know I’m not sane, know what I mean? 
Its like, the stages in human life is so…obvious. Is life THAT simple? Aside from the slight complications arising from interactions with ‘people’..is that all? We live, we learn, we find emotional support, we serve our nation, we strive to be monetarily-stable and we attempt to retire in peace until we fade back into Gaia, mother earth.
Sigh. Just like right now, I am in need of emotional support. You know. Maslow’s 3rd Principle in his hierarchy of needs….needs of love, affection and belongingness? That. Yeah that. I’m human too yeah? I need social interaction. I want to meet new people! Especially really cute babes! (kidding…! or am I? lol). I want to feel like I BELONG. I mean, not that I don’t and all, but sometimes I feel that there could be more. There SHOULD be more! I just don’t know man…I just don’t!
