growth is never a solitary affair. plants possess their inherent ability to grow, but require sunlight and water and whataver you learnt in P3 Science. wine ages with time but its very result of its growth depends on the wood of the cask the surrounding air the soil where the vines grow. a gugujiao can be stimulated by mere self-entertaining fantasy erotic thoughts in the mind alone but physical stimulation is always more catalytic in effect. Grow milk powder cant turn into milk by itself but requires hot water and some stirring.
thus you can never just merely grow all by yourself. you, reading this here and now, feel that you have gone through that certain number of years in your life, and have indeed matured and grown.but you yourself, the very you, would be a different you if you grew up in China, or grew up listening to Guns and Roses scream while you were drinking your nespray, or more simply studying in a different school and meeting different people. a VJC samuel peck would not be a HCJC samuel peck. a interact club samuel peck would not be the same as a gymnastics samuel peck. perhaps if i grew up eating more tuna i would be smarter cos of the omega3
love is the same thing. you might think you omfgly love this particular person to bits, he or she is the one and only, that you two are made just for each other, that both of your protruding bits and gaping crevices fit together perfectly just like a nice 2-piece jigsaw puzzle (no sexual connotations here i think)
but actually its because u spent so much time listening to this person talk and laugh, so much time breathing in his or her smell, so many times when he or she appears in your daily life, that you yourself am altered to suit him or her.
what am i trying to say? means even if you put two quarelling people (male and female, shall not touch on homos here) who hate each other to the core and let time flow on eventually you will have one couple, assuming you remove all sharp objects from venue at hand first.
so perhaps love at first sight is merely because eveything you see on her has a label saying "chio" just because you have grown up learning and thinking that those particular attributes are chio. like if you grew up just watching snow white & the seven dwarves and Mulan only then maybe when you see a china female 2nd sergeant commanding her 7 short men in section live firing you would fall in love with her.
so a samuelpeck who was a vjc student would have a different image of his PerfectOne from a hcjc samuelpeck. cos vjc would have provided him different colors and brushstrokes that were used to paint this perfect picture
so to all those heartbroken, gged, dioowned people out there, just change your life a bit, mod your life a bit, tweak here and there, change the colors a bit, change the brushstrokes a bit, and your perfect one, whom you thought was that cheebye that just left you, would now be another person already.
and this thingy above can also be used to address the topic brought up during the holland V session with miss lim. abt the maturity issue. i think maturity does not come with age. it comes with continued bombardment of events that force you to grow up. you are thrown into the fray that you are forced to live by its means, to use it means to survive in it. every single person out there, from your father to mm lee kuan yew to any old man (he played one) is merely a child who has only learnt the skills and manner to act, the mask to wear, so as to fit in and survive in society. when you strip these you get people breaking down and revealing the child hiding within
