There are many things in life that involves choices. From simple thing like choosing what to have for breakfast, to life-changing decisions like the kind career you wish to pursue, the type of degree you want to major in.

You can choose to be indifferent to people, you can choose to warm up to people, you can choose to share your problems with people; the list is simply endless.

But of course, opening up to a particular person is a sign of trust itself. But, you don't necessarily have to share your problems to that person, even if you trust him or her. It all depends on the way people work. Some just aren't forthcoming with their own problems, while others don't feel bothered by sharing their troubles.

Life is full of ups and downs. I liken life to driving. Being lost in life's direction, being lost in what you want to do, lost because of dejections, lost because of goals that doesn't seem to matter, or achievable; these are all detours.

Its fine to be lost, to not know where to go. But ultimately, you still need to find yourself back onto the main road and keep on driving.

What about friends? What about advices and suggestions? Friends are like the friends you go on with on a road trip. Advices and suggestions from them are simply them pointing to the sign boards as to where to go, where to head on. But ultimately, you're still the driver, you choose where to go.

As long as someone consider you as a friend, it doesn't take knowledge of quantum physics or rocket science to understand that theres something wrong with you. Indifferences, your tone, your lack of interest; everything. Even on the net, that is still very easily detectable.

How do they know? Because they care. They might not be straightforward and go like, "Hey, are you alright?". But they know, and they care. People have to understand that sometimes, the people who bug you are the ones who really care. (Well, not all.)

Well, but of course, there are people who care for you as long as they treat you as friends. But it depends on the level, and that whether they've spoken to you lately or not. Because if it's been awhile since they've talked to you, it might be tougher for them to simply ask whats going on.

Recklessness. It is something thats often mistaken as courage. You may think its nearly the same, and hard to differentiate; its not.

Recklessness or rash, its the same. It is simply knowing about the odds of things, and yet you rush in without thinking of the consequences and what not. 

Courage. It is something more than that. It is more of, you're afraid of something; you know what's going on and you have a really huge fear of confronting it, and yet, with iron-will, you stood your ground against and confronts that situation.

Which of the above do you think you possess? For me, I find myself more reckless and rash, rather than courageous. But who's to say? Hah.

Indifferences.
