So it's the Lunar New Year's and to be honest, I've completely lost the spirit to celebrate it. Back then, I still had a lil' bit of that spirit but now I'm just, "I don't give a fuck anymore" and I'm only 18. Imagine having to celebrate this celebration to preserve this tradition till I die and god knows when I'm going to die. I wonder how my parents' do it, doing the same old thing for almost 50 years. I'm not even 20 and I'm already bored of it. Well, I guess it's how we were brought up.

My mom is always superstitious. Coming from a Chinese family, you'll have all this weird superstitions and beliefs. I don't mind learning about them, but doesn't mean I have to apply them in life. It's our choice to believe them or not. But of course I'll remember all those beliefs and pass them down. As crazy as they can get, it's still important to preserve them. And to be honest, I don't want these beliefs to die. But I don't want them getting in the way on how I want to live my life. Like for example, the Chinese have this thing they do where they can read a person's future by their facial looks? And because of that, my mom is against me getting a facial piercing. Personally, I think it's all in our head. How can the position of my moles, or pimples or whatever shit predict my future? And then there's feng shui. Seriously? You think buying expensive stones or rocks can bring you luck? You're just being lead by some scum. They say, "You buy this crystal ball, you will be blessed with eternal luck and get lots of money". But in reality, you're losing your money because you're wasting it on useless shit like that. At the end of the day, the one making money are those scums, not you.

So yeah, it's good to preserve beliefs but don't get to caught up in them. In the end, they're only beliefs. It's your choice to believe them or not. And btw, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY. :)
