what it takes to kill a blog?

a guy

told by syafiq at pathlight -

“dreams may or may not come true,

but they will always be with us forever.

they give us courage to go on,

just like what pathlight does.”

(:

sloughing

stupid rain killed my phone.

nice

i’ve moved from holding guys’ hands to holding little autistic boys’ hands.

cool!

lol this makes me sound like a paedophile, but no i’m not.

some of the young ones needed me to hold them while they walked down the stairs (:

i could get used to this!

not like i’m not already… haha!

circling around your body

personal space.

this concept is very common to us, and we seem to know all about it.

but how often is it that we take this concept for granted?

we always assume that strangers will definitely leave us some space for ourselves,

and our friends know where is the limit,

before our personal space is violated.

but seriously,

have we actually considered before the importance of such a thing?

it seems so intangible,

and it would be a surprise if such a concept would play an integral part in our lives.

today, i realised that everyone needed their own space to live in,

and we should not deny our friends of this.

this is what i learned from the pathlighters today.

anyway, i was thinking, if we, the “normal” people, are the ones with the “mirror neurons” required to empathize with others, how come we find it so difficult to see things from the perspectives of an autistic person? why are they the ones who are learning our rules, so that they can live in our society, instead of us helping them along? with our “mirror neurons”, shouldn’t we be able to understand their rules better than they understand ours?

i realised i learnt something else about myself as well.

when a pathlighter denies me of my personal space,

i would remind them that everyone needs to have their own space to breathe.

i would not be angry,

because i know that they do not understand such a concept,

since it is more of an unwritten social rule.

but when a normal person denies me of my personal space,

and yet admits that he knows what he was doing,

i don’t think my reaction would be remotely similar.

don’t push limits when you know that they aren’t supposed to be pushed.
