Luxury is not necessarily the opposite of poverty, it is just necessity multiplied.

Fear
I’m considered a brave/courageous person, which I too agree with unhesitatingly (well one of the few good qualities I possess that is :P) But in reality, just like any other person, I too have some, rather big long term fears. And it can be incorrect to even put it that way technically, to put it bluntly what I fear is dying alone without being loved or remembered (I guess perhaps suicide is not an option for me anytime eh?)
Being in my 20s at the moment I know it’s a bit far-fetched thought, but well I always felt strange about that. To elaborate more on it:
– I fear what if I don’t have the courage to live the life true to myself? What if I don’t find it?
– What if it’s too late to express my feelings?
– What if I’m unable to find happiness?
This kinda points towards depression and loneliness, but in the end these thoughts are usually in the back of my head. Also this article helped me phrase my own, which I resonate with, Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed. You can see I mean exactly the same thing, with just the catch being I haven’t even begun living yet!
Loneliness Illustrated So Beautifully You Will Need To Tell Someone
I often write (and talk!) about loneliness and being alone. It’s something I personally quite struggle with, perhaps all my life, circa rise of the Internet. Well, in a manner of speaking all those in their 20s and 30s today practically grew up with it. And yet, out there I’m always surprised at finding that I’m not alone in my thoughts, and there are those who put things so quite brilliantly that I can’t help but smile (with my head spinning at the same time)
The Innovation of Loneliness from Shimi Cohen on Vimeo. (for some odd reason the vimeo video isn’t being embedded here)
via Upworthy, sharing the exact sentiments. In a world where we collect friends like stamps, here’s some sense for our social networks. At 0:40, my jaw hits the floor when creator Shimi Cohen outlines the capacity of our social circles. And when at 2:20 he gets into the mind-blowing reason hitting delete is a crutch… Yup, my brains were pretty much leaking out my ears.
Do watch and share (oh the irony) the video. Now I really need to talk to someone.
To Boldly Go…
2013 was/is so far the worst year of my life for various reasons, with 2012 giving a run for the same. 
Apart from just hoping that 2014 would be better, haven’t given any thought to it. Actually I haven’t even given a thought about hoping, just came in to my head when I typed this.
Hope you (reader) have better luck in self-improvement.

Characters that Haunt You
People just love personifying things don’t they?
Well, I always had this character in mind, a formless figure, more like black smoke (just like The Man in Black from LOST, I totally had it in my mind since years!) For me it usually denoted nothingness, which I have mixed feelings on.
Close Call
Tell us about a bullet you’re glad you dodged — when something awful almost happened, but didn’t.
Happened so many times that I could write a book on it. But then again, glad shit didn’t happen (well, when it didn’t that is). I don’t remember any one in particular now, since I don’t remember such things for long.
Confidence in doing…
Are you good at what you do? What would you like to be better at?
Yes I am, considering I do nothing most of the time. And what I do, well, it just happens.
Playtime
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
For the past decade or so, mostly comprised of video games.
