To soldier on. To keep it real. Fight because it's so easy to flee. Grow a thicker hide. Pity does not make you a victim. Being so afraid of falling into the traps of mediocrity. Resenting the Singaporean dream, the status quo - isn't it really just fear of infection? To slag, to steer clear of. To create a terrene reality away from it all. Ideas. My notions of quick relief; survival escapism. Resignation - No. To resign is to settle. I choose selective adaptation. Take more of the good, less of the not-so tasty.
