Moments of Loneliness

“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.” ------George Orson Welles

Here I am, embarking a journey, alone.

I was having dinner @ a foodcourt, alone as always. There came a gang of noisy students whose school name shall not be mentioned.
While devouring on my meal, it troubled me: why do they have to sit together in such a crowded place?
Or to put it straight, it always makes me wonder why people must be in a big group, compromising personal freedom and will.

Finally I have reached the stage when I can say no to others' way of life. i.e. I have tried hard to be 'normal' previously. Painful adolescence, not the nicest part in life.
I am now in the mood to say, it is optional to adjust oneself to 'mediocrity', which is normally referred to as 'normal'.

The older you get, the more stubborn you are?
Can't tell.
But as long as one is fine with the current state of mind.
Just be it.

So,
NUS is a place for loners.
If you are a loner, come to NUS.
If you are not a loner, NUS is likely to make you one.

I call it 'independent' and 'free soul' though.
