Reveries of the solitary walker.
Rousseau.
You have given me immense hope again.
I read you and I am alive again.
“Everything is finished for me on earth. People can no longer do good or evil to me here. I have nothing more to hope for or to fear in this world; and here I am, tranquil at the bottom of the abyss, a poor unfortunate mortal, but unperturbed, like God himself”.
Certainly these are words of profound pain and intense resignation, yet at the same time, one feels a tremendous sense of peace that gnaws incessantly at one’s heart.
OH NO NO NO. How could I ever return to being who I used to be? I don’t think I even like her anymore. Sorry Sharon, I no longer feel for you the same way I did. I might even have come to despise you, even if it is only a tinge, but I am on the edge, and I fear I will not like what I see, should I see you in this new light. Please forgive me, although I strongly insist that I do not need to apologise for the way I want to live the rest of my life, wretched as it might be, it is still mine to behold. There is no turning back. You will be murdering my soul if you force me to.
And I will hate you, for a very long time.
But your friends. That’s another story altogether.
YOu almost missed your EXAM today if Hyelin has not called and screamed into the earpiece “SHAROOOOOOON
WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!”
PAK HYELIN my dearest korean classmate:I LOVE YOU
YOU TOTALLY SAVED MY LIFE.
Ok your whole academic record would have been ruined if you had stupidly missed this paper STOP GETTING LOST IN YOUR BOOKS I know you are very proud of your mugging but could you please take note of the time too??????
So anyway, 3 more essays, 4 more papers to go.
Goodluck you stupid stupid stupid STUPID GAL.
AND SHUT UP. As Carlos told you to. Are you happy now Carlos?
Still I wanna thank you for all the consoling messages. I am still hurt, angry, disappointed, lost faith..whatever..It is useless wasting one more second on it anymore.
Case not closed but my heart is shut.
YOU!!! I hope you know how much grief you are causing my family. I will never ever understand why. How do you sleep at night?

Hello negi xue jie

i think carlos must have thought something was wrong..the whole class probabaly felt it too. he ruined his final class for himself..stupid.
that would be the jean jacques rousseau wouldn’t it?? the popular democracy guy. i cramed that in on tues night.
u know what, just be who you want to be. what right has anyone got to tell you to be someone you aren’t anyway? the real you is very much missed….

i am addicted to this song by Sung Si Kyung. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=amKfI2-Zivk&feature=related
“Farewell Once Again”.
Ok 1 more essay to go and 4 more papers.
Examinations are tough but much much much easier than dealing with people.
Right now I am dreaming of sunflowers, Tuscan sun, and of course you my dearest.
26 more days. You don’t remember right? JE SAIS, TU NE RAPPELES PAS DU TOUT.

Hi there Sharon.
If you are reading this message, could you please tell me which mono did you extract that above passage from?
Rousseau’s words are absolutely stunning. I love to read that book myself.
Many thanks.
Francis.
