life.

time flies by very quickly. more so with every passing year, and i wonder why. is it because as we grow older, we have fewer new experiences to live through? so life seems like it is just a repetitive schedule. wake up, eat, go to school, come home, dinner. the next day will be the same, and the next too. actually, time goes by very slowly on a day to day basis, but when you look back, you suddenly realise "oh my god, i'm already 17!" and 6 years old seemed just yesterday. but yesterday, you were in class dying in the 1 hour lecture that you had to sit through and could not bear for one more second.

life is extremely queer.

it's amazing that happiness and depression are caused by chemicals in the brain. in the end, emotions are being controlled by the availability of certain atoms and compounds. how weird. so if we find a cure to treat depression, and thus make one happier. does that mean we can identify what makes us love, and hence invent a love potion? i wonder what would happen if somebody actually succeeds, which is quite unlikely i think. what if the patient falls in love with a dandelion. that'll be disastrous.
