i read
there's this line from "I read" by stephen sondheim that says "i read... to live thru other people's lives." thanks to the growing popularity of blogs i'm able to do just that. i smile as i read about a media practitioner's daily hassles, a fashion designer's dream of opening her own shop, an advertising executive's new ad campaign or a model's go-sees.these days, deep in the throes of quarterlife crisis, i find myself barely living, sustained by the idea that one day i can be like them, to do something that i'm passionate about and be able to get out of this shithole otherwise known as my life. i read other people's posts and think, "someday i'd be able to gather the courage to walk away from this yuppie-like existence and finally do what i had set my heart to do ever since i was a kid. i'd do the things i've always wanted to do - study law/psychology/interior design, write for a living, open my own bookstore or teach. any of those things would do just fine, i just have to find something that i'm happy with, that i'll be proud of... not this. surely there's more to my life and my capabilities than this."
someday... but until that day, i read.
