About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Time is a powerful thing. If you use it well, just taking a little time off your busy routine can do wonders. I'll testify to that.
I love my friends. They are AWESOMEE! Flying down the streets in the dead of the night, the wind agreeing with your every thought and giving a bellow of agreement... Really gives you the space to be alone with yourself even in the company of those closest to you. Night cycling is addictive.
Going down the lighted streets, able to see where you are going, the street signs pointing in every direction, and you knowing exactly where to steer yourself toward. Even when you go down the wrong road, you know you can count on your friends to call you back.
Sheer adrenaline pumping down veins, acting on impulse rather than rational, making decisions with only heart, going in a full circle ending where it started. Thats the path taken. Long winding, perilious, illegal, but it'd take me home.
I've learnt something else today. Sometimes, the best choice isn't the right choice. We can't always have the best in life. I mean, we can choose to if we really want, but... when we have the best, there is nothing left to be desired. Don't get me wrong, it feels good at the top, but you won't get the same satisfaction of climbing greater heights. Truly, no matter how cliche it sounds, less is more.
Something to yearn for, something to dream about, something to work towards, something to thirst after, something to covet, something to feel passionate about.
Something to desire.
I can't stop my own thoughts of the inevitable. No matter how much it sickens me, I know it cannot be helped. But I must say, it drives me on. To strive beyond perfect, to ridicule the impossible, to grant miracles, to soar through the sky. It'd take time, to eradicate this unnecessary cloud of dust, but I will remember that though the rain brings about cold and strife, it also brings out rainbows.Au revoir.
