Sex.



From what I know, most Singaporeans are sexually shy. You won't hear a bunch of stories about how some dude banged another chick and stuff like that. However, in my opinion, sex isn't wrong. As long as you're not hurting anyone or their feelings, then it's all good. Condoms or no condoms, it's completely up to you. Just be responsible for the stuff that you do, and don't offend anyone.

I feel that we shouldn't shun someone for being sexually active. Is pornography really that bad? I hear that it's bad because it raises the viewer's expectations during real sex, because many people think that porn sex is real sex. But hey, that's another debate for another time. Still, I know of many people who enjoy viewing pornography and yet lead happy, healthy lives. This is actually pretty possible, believe it or not. Recently, I stumbled across a post on tumblr. It was a comic comparing sex and car accidents. "We shouldn't teach teens about condoms because that'll encourage them to have sex" is like saying "We shouldn't teach people about airbags because that'll encourage them to crash into things." Which I thought was very true and accurate.

Sex is fine. Be safe, don't tell the people who get offended easily, and don't shun someone for being normal.

Change the world.



Honestly, I grew out of these unrealistic inspirational quotes. How many people have actually changed the world, among the 7 billion human beings living on this planet?

Still, I feel that it's a brilliant idea to positively impact as many people as you can. You don't necessarily have to change their thinking such that everyone agrees with each other, but what matters is that everyone is happy. Personally, if I were ever given the opportunity to "change the world", I would save as many lives as possible. Be it improving healthcare in various countries- both developed and less developed, or preventing suicides and depression for everyone. Also, I would give people, especially children, the opportunities to speak and voice their ideas. As a child, I felt like I never really had a voice and no one took me seriously. And as a child, I'd already thought about growing up and learning from these adult's mistakes.

There are so many problems out there that even governments are too busy to fix, but if people are willing to give it a shot, I believe that the world will be a much better place.

Socially incorrect.

The only two places where I feel a sense of belonging are places that are... Socially incorrect to go to.

I just wish that one day I can get away from society so that everything I do doesn't need to be socially incorrect anymore. And I can live in a world where SG is my king/leader/whatever you call it, where I can attend the f-festival (I am this paranoid) or at least check it out for a bit. Or watch a bunch of YouTube without disappointing anyone.

There is no such thing as freedom, is there?
