guards...up or down?

party-pooper? hmm...i wonder...

sometimes having ur guards up the whole time can be tiring...it can also lead to u missing out on things, on events...bt i mean, its hard juz to even take tht very FIRST step towards letting ur guard down...

i dunno how things can get so wrong...u try to be a good person, u try to do good by urself, by ur principles, by ur parents...bt wht happens? at the end of the day, wht DO u get? u get left out of fun nites? u miss out on time with ppl? u get the 'dork' label? u get known as being NOT fun?

so when exactly does keeping ur guard up end up being beneficial? for some of us, thts how things have been for waaay too long, tht u juz dont knw any different...so how do we go on from there? how do we start taking those much-needed baby steps into letting our guards down, bit by bit?....if only we had a manual, a guide to show us the steps....

weird/sad...yet true...
how does one have so many ppl around them, yet feel the loneliest they've ever been?
how does one have so many friends, yet feel like they're out of reach?

i wish there was a guide to these bits of life...it sucks when u dont have tht guide u knw u NEED...*sigh*....

hey..i know its hard..but having guards do pay off later in life..but then you cannot have too many of them. you have to let go of some to be able to learn from mistakes..after all, that is the best way for someone to learn about life..

biasa la tu..its better to sit and watch at times..sometimes its better to just let go and let the current take you on a journey..and sometimes you have to direct your path..knowing which part needs what kind of action takes experiance, and experiance comes from errors in judgement..

there are times to be grown up and times to be immature..i choose to be immature most of the time so that when i choose to be mature, it looks os much more impressive..
