A dark corner

We all have this one spot where we go to whenever things don’t go right. I’d like to call it the dark corner. To me it is a safe place, silent and alone, yet not lonely. I usually visit this spot once in a short while to see how dark it gets through time, or how brighter it becomes after putting so much effort to light it up. Even though we all have it, it is various from person to person. And it is caused by different factors in life.

Have you ever felt empty while you have everyone around? You feel that you don’t even belong there/here. You sound hopeful yet you know it’s a denial. You tell yourself every day that life must go on whether you want it or not; it doesn’t stop here, or unless yo… well I don’t have to finis the sentence, do it? Don’t be a fool. Even if you die, the problem will not solve itself; it is passed to others, worst, it might be passed to the people you love and care for the most. Still you are in your dark corner and looking for a way out, still haven’t succeeded.

Have you been told that you are a loser? Have you been thought to be successful and turns out the opposite? Has anyone said something like ‘I thought you were my only hope’ to you? Read the question again, slowly this time.

I bet we all have been through this and yes we have that dark spot where we appreciate so much that you don’t wanna share with anyone, not even with your partner. Special! I sometimes feel guilty for not being able to share my thoughts in a straightforward way. I can’t. I just am unable to express it the way common people could comprehend. All they do is judge.

I’m quite pessimistic and hopeless, but it’s funny that I teach people to be optimistic and hopeful. Here the irony is. I only try so that others might be motivated and start it over. They don’t deserve to swim through thing like I have been experiencing. Am I passive? Yes. Because all I wish to see in others is greatness and joy. I can’t now. I am all alone on a boat paddling on an endless lake. I can’t be thinking too much about others. I have to live. Like my previous post, I encouraged others to be selfish because I know people aren’t like us, seeing the world as a better place for everyone. They see us as a door mat they can step on and feeling no guilt whatsoever.

This dark corner of mine starts to show itself: I’m pissed. What is so wrong about being pissed? Non. You only become who you are, the real one. The worst thing is that I’m a passively pissed person; I don’t go around pouting my fingers on others; I take it all, by myself. Stupid, sometimes I call myself.

It’s too dark here. I can’t even see what I typing.

You heard me, how is yours?

The gate is there; go open it!

អ្នកខ្លះឃើញគេមានបាន ចង់បានដូចគេដែរ ប៉ុន្តែមិនដែលឃើញខំប្រឹងរកទេ។ អ្នកណាក៏ចង់កើតមកមានស្រាប់ដែរ ប៉ុន្តែបើកើតមកក្រក៏យើងកែប្រែអ្វីមិនបានដែរ ដូច្នេះមានតែខំរក ហើយសន្សំប្រាក់យកទៅវិនយោគ ទោះតិចក្តី ច្រើនក្តី។

យើងឃើញគេសប្បាយចាយលុយ យើងក៏ចង់ចាយបែបនោះដែរ ប៉ុន្តែយើងគួរតែគិតគូឲ្យបានឆ្ងាយបន្តិចចំពោះការគ្រប់គ្រងហិរញវត្ថុផ្តាល់ខ្លួន។

កុំចាយតាមគេ ចាយមើលហោប៉ៅខ្លួនឯង។

មិនមែនឲ្យឈប់ចាយលុយ ហើយសន្សំទាំងអស់នោះទេ តែគួរណារកវិធីសាស្រ្តបង្កើនទ្រព្យឲ្យមានលំហូរសិន (cash flow) សឹមចាយបែបធូរៗ។

នេះនិយាយប្រាប់ខ្លួនឯងផងដែរទេ បើមានខ្លួនក៏យកខ្លះទៅ។ 😂😂😂

My TOP 3 Obsessive Hobbies

Hobbies? Well, there are tons out there that people enjoy and get obsessed with. I have a few of which I want to share, and maybe you will be interested in them too, hopefully. The first hobby that I want to share is binge-watching my favourite shows on my laptop. Nothing is more comfortable than being a couch-potato sitting in front of a screen with a loudspeaker on while holding a bowl of popcorn on one hand and a cup of coke on the other. I used to finish three seasons of GAME OF THRONES, one of the most popular show back then, in just one single day. During the weekends, I used to spend all my free time watching dramas, series, and episodes after another. Even though I don’t have that kind of spare time I used to have before, I still manage to enjoy a movie or a half of it every week. I sometimes have to force myself to pause the movie and go to bed so that I can get up and go to work the next day. That sucks. Sadly, I can’t hop on a movie marathon like previously; however, movies are still the best thing I can’t live without. They help me in many ways, especially my mental exercise. I am starting the Witcher season 1 soon. Yeah!!! 

The second hobby that I currently possess is BOOK LOVING. The reason why I don’t claim the be a bookworm is that I only love books. I am obsessed with them, but I don’t read that much. When it comes to reading, I tend to give myself too many excuses, one of which is having not enough free time. I have read many books so far, novel and non-fiction. I love owning them; it is cool and makes me excited. Rarely do I walk past a book store without checking it out. I don’t normally buy books, for they are so expensive. (I do buy some, though.) I sometimes just go window shopping in a book store and walk out empty-handed. Isn’t it sad for a book lover (not a reader to be exact) to have to think more than thrice to decide to buy a title of his favourite, yet ends up leaving the store without it? 

Last but not least and unarguably my top favourite, I keep pet fish. There are aquariums in my room and on my balcony. Actually, I used to keep betta fish when I was a young boy. My friends and I would come together after school and enjoy our fish show. We would exchange some of ours and breed them. Soon when the interest wore out, we abandoned our pets. Fast forward to the present time, it was about 3 years ago when I started to keep fish again. A man offered me 7 of red fish that I couldn’t identify. I took them, however. When I got home, I began to realise that I was about to get into it again. It excited me for a few weeks. I kept them in a bucket. I was so busy, so I didn’t have time to go to the market and buy the container for them. My sister bought them a bowl. Soon I decided to buy a glass tank to house them. Then before I knew it, I own more than 10 fish. I have been in this hobby for three years now. It is a fun hobby, but when you are in it, there is no way out. And that concludes my TOP 3 hobbies that I acquire.

Do we have some common hobbies? Do you have any other more fun hobbies you want me to try? Leave your thoughts below.
