Last night, I was trying to reminisce one of my favorite movies of all time, Clueless. Yes, for a girl like me, I just love girly stuff, and Alicia Silvertone being eternally young, and beautiful in that movie, makes me want to live forever. Or be forever young ( oh have I such obsession for youth and eternity! )

I remember Cher ( Silvertone ) having a protege named Tai ( may you rest in peace, gorgeous Brittany Murphy ) that she transformed from an unnoticed outcast into the life in the party - the ultimate “it” girl. I could not forget Cher scream, ” I’ve created a monster!” in her cutest voice. Well.

Sometimes in life, we get to achieve good things. Good things coming our way are great, as we promise ourselves not to let these good things happening get into our heads. But sometimes, along the way, it just happens. It creeps under our skin that we hardly notice it, and before we know it, we have come to be the person we detest - the person whom we’ve promised not to be like. Sometimes, upon awareness, we can go back to our own ways, but sometimes, it’s too late. Too much air has creeped into our insides that it’s impossible to deflate anymore. With that, to survive is to get more air.

At some point in your life, have you created a monster? How does it feel? Do you feel that sometimes, you should have taken back the help you extended that person?

At some point in your life, have you been a monster? How long did it take you to realize that? Or have you been too caught up with yourself that it is only you that matters, and no one else anymore? Do you think everyone who is against you is just envious of you?

Diagnose.

I have stumbled into a lot of nice quotes here, from this website, that I shall love reading everyday :

Have a healthy respect and love for yourself, but don’t be taken out by your ego.

It’s very easy for us to be humble when no one else is around. There is no reason for us to demonstrate our superiority, because no one challenges it.

People who are humble don’t talk too much; they listen.

Without humility you can’t love. Love means looking beyond the self to the other.

You stop growing when you stop listening.

The ego seeks fame and fortune. Humility doesn’t seek at all — it accepts.

You can be in a crowd full of friends and be miserable because you’re alienated. The ego alienates.
