People always mistake me to be a bigger cat lover than a dog lover, probably because i have 2 cats? I dunno man. To be honest, i was never really fond of cats until i first got Cocoa. But still, i didn't take to her immediately because i never intended to keep her, being the sick kitten she was. Furthermore, she wasn't exactly a pretty little thing. Yah yah, we're all superficial people.

Anyway, i have this thing for black cats. I rehomed 3 black kittens in Aussie and one of them went to my classmate Zoe. I really should drop her a mail to see how Dee is doing now. Coal and Cobra went to the petshop at Garden City and wherever they are, at least i know i did my part.

And then there was Tux (thus named because he was jet black 'cept for the white patch of fur on his chest which made him look like he was wearing a tuxedo!), which i should have adopted. But if i did, i couldn't possibly have taken Tutti in. Tux was one of the last straws that broke the camel's back, if you know what i mean.

I have to constantly remind myself i can't save everything on Earth, but it'd be slightly more comforting if i get acquainted with more like-minded people. Unfortunately, i only know a handful. Knowledge should empower us, but sad to say, those that have the knowledge lose their bearings and forget why they're in this profession to begin with. Or perhaps, their goals just differ from mine. Pfffffft.

As i grow older, i realised how important it is to always be real and never lose yourself despite the shit going on in the world. I'd like to think i've grown up though some may beg to differ and insist i've slipped back into being a self-centred child. I dunno man, i'm still the idealistic person i was 10 years ago, living by the same old principles. I still say what i say and do what i do, though others aren't always agreeable with the person i am. That's just me. I suppose i haven't learnt how to carry myself like a 28-year-old professional who emotes at the right time and place. To hell with that! What's wrong with wearing my heart upon my sleeve? I think we all should.

Question is, do you even know who you are to begin with?
