I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
this question was posed by my fren ydae... y issit ppl will blog something online and let everyone see wat they they wrote? she cldnt understand.. haha.. i think that is a v valid question. and as i thot abt it, i believed it has to do with the ppl of this generation. before that, lemme answer the nature of human. human are naturally self-centred, and they wld like to express themselves and let others understand them. howvere, due to self-centredness or pride, they wld not liek to disclose it so blatantly. they wld rather like to find something that can let them express themselves subtly coz practically most ppl wld not liek to se ethemselevs as "simple". haha.. or at least they think they ae not. but i think, humans being humans, most think alike; however there are few diff here and there... and i dun wanna dwell on that lah... and of coz, i fell into the category too..
anyway, y blog? there's a few ansewrs to this. it is an avenue whr ppl can honeslty tell how they feel without letting ppl noe who they r, without having to tell someone face to face, a place whr there's no confrontation, no embarassment, no crticisms and yet able to let ppl noe abt their feelings which they usuali may not like to tell someone abt them. a place whr ppl can say things which he or she dun wish to say in public or to anyone, but wants to tell someone. some use it as a place of covering. in the sense that they hide themselves in this virtual world and hide thier real status and identity. there may be other reasons, but basically most are made up of this 2 types. and of coz, there are those who just wanna try it for fun, and interest die off after some time, but im toking abt those ppl lah.
well, as for me..y did i blog? is a mixture of reasons, i started it for fun (i think im one of the earliest blogger in spore..haha, having started a few yrs back) but the main reason that i started was that i want to find an avenue to pen down my thougts that i dun usually tell someone... and i can read back time to time myself abt the things that i wrote down, and also share my life with whoever may be interested, and be an encouragement to some ppl for some of things i written here. however, y dun i tell it to my frens in person? i do, some of them actuali.. but not all. and i wun noe who is reading this.. so it may easier to tell wat i wanna tell... nothing to hide(in a way) coz sometimes when we tok to ppl in person, we tend to hide something fearing that ppl will not like or dun understand...:) and of coz, there is the option to delete while toking cant be deleted away..haha
