I once was there

One of the things I enjoy doing is reminiscent on places I’ve been in the past by looking at that place from a different place. For example, I used to go to Playdium Lounge inside Metrotown in Burnaby a lot from 1999 to 2001. So during the Summer, I may occasionally ride down Cambie Road passed #6 Road and take a break while I enjoy the open farmland scenery. While there, I would be able to see the Metrotown Rogers’ Towers very clearly and from there, think about the days I used to spend my time drinking and flirting and having a blast there.

Another example would be during the times we took breaks at the various Vistas at the Buntzen Lake hike. I would stare south and south-westwards towards Vancouver city, Richmond, Burnaby, Sea Island and beyond and note the places I’ve walked around, shopped at, rode to, kissed and held hands with, had a fun time with and had some down town at.

In 2006, I went to Hong Kong with my parents and my cousin over there took me to this place (the picture) and it had a nice ambiance. I remember leaning against the railing and thinking how nice it would be to be there with a lover to just enjoy the moment. Most of my trips to Hong Kong makes me feel that way. At the very least, it would have been nice to be there with really close friends. I’m sure it would be very fun.

I will most likely not go back there for awhile, but I can tell the day I do, I would either reminiscent on that memory or actually be there with friends or a lover. Maybe I’ll share this thought with her when we do. ^_~

Concepts from Leemanism has as little filtering as possible. These concepts are not reflected in the people I value and are associated with. People who accept me, adhere to the parts where we are compatible and tolerate the parts where we are not. So however people perceive me to be, ultimately it obviously doesn't mean the people I mention in this blog are the same as me. It means it's possible they are similar or the same, as well as different than me. It is highly unusual for people to be completely compatible with each other. It is also highly unusual for people to be fully supportive of each other, even if they say they do.

Common society expects self-respect to be a concept you enforce on yourself, while solely adhering to what common society dictates as being right. However, self-respect in fact, is doing what pleases you, while not permitting others to disrespect you, and when they do, you cut them out of your life. Don't let common society gaslight you into believing the self-respect you have for yourself should be dictated by common society's views on morality. Self-respect is the individual's right to live as they desire - not what common society deems as acceptable. Too often, people succumb to the weight of the world, dismissing their individual value, to try to fit in and be accepted. If you are the type of person who tries to fit in with common society, under the fantasy you are also an unique 'weird' person of your own thoughts, then I dare say, you're delusional. Everyone says they rather be weird, but when challenged, they retreat back into their social shells, doing everything they can to deflect self accountability.

That's utterly boring.

However, at the same time, I also understand that some people must do what they must do to protect themselves, before the law of the land and before common society try to lynch them for what they are. Even if your ideals may be right, society will more often than not, deem you wrong - even most of your friends may side with society, than protect you.

So with that said, we are few. Stay safe. (•̀ᵥᵥ•́)
