In the Shadow...

Got this off JinWei's blog... Sorry there mate... :P Thought it was very interesting. Got the results I thought I would get beforehand... Sad isn't it?

Rain

Your element is Rain: Sad, lonely, distant and unique. You are quite distant from emotion and people, but you have been made this way by one thing or another. You are truly unique yet fail to see it, and are quite creative be it in art, music, writing, ect.. You used to let people in now you don't even bother to try having been hurt so many times in the past. Your attitude is that you don't need anyone but yourself, people are just trouble waiting to happen. But you really do want to trust someone no matter if you see it or not, deep down your waiting for someone to come and set you free. This kind of depression can turn dangerous, don't let them get to you. Not everyone in the world will hurt you, humans are humans and are not perfect. So most likely sooner or later you'll meet someone who feels like you do and perhaps your shell will eventually disappear.
Anyway, something else has happened that has sent shockwaves through the whole world, as well as at home. The tsunami disaster that has hit SEAsian shores... together with Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Cannot believe that it happened the day after Christmas. Cannot believe that it happened while there were many holidaymakers on the many beaches when it occured unexpectedly. So many families together... Perished. It's very very sad and it has a very profound effect on the way I view and treat my family members. Seriously. And today was the 1st day I took the courage to look at pictures depicting what had happened during the moments when the huge waves hit the shores. And I was stunned. Bodies floating on the water. Buildings smashed to the ground. Children, mothers crying. It was heartwrenching. I'm not sure what I can do as a single individual. But I'll try what I can. I've been donating a bit to friends who have come together to collectively collect some cash and supplies to be handed over to the Red Cross. I know it's not enough. But... Sigh. Let's all say a prayer for those who are still missing, have perished in the disaster or have survived it. We should all tide over this together, irregardless of nationality, race or religion.
Ok... Here's a little part of a song called "Purpose" from the Broadway show "Avenue Q"... There's this guy called Princeton who is rather disillusioned with his life after 10 years of being with a B.A. in English but has no job to support himself with. Great show. Very true to people's lives...
I'm gonna find it!
What will it be?
Where will it be?
My purpose in life is a mystery
Gotta find my purpose
Gotta find me.
