Bear with my rubbishness
I need something to occupy my mind. Some idea which will fill this blankness and prevent this wretchedness that drains my spirit away. . .
Let's see. . .
every man is bound to leave a story better than what he found.
How about this one. . .

Many years I looked for the never ending truth of what contentment mean. I went from a certain place to another, even tried doing this and that. I looked for the truth outside. My memory pad was filled with many adventures and misadventures. Not knowing what's ahead, I took giant steps toward uncertainty and came across to even more catastrophes. I thought I wanted this and needed that. But it all boiled down to one – more upheavals.
Down with every single hope created for man to have, my quest went farther and farther away. And then, I bumped into this "human being." For a while, I thought he was from another planet for I never encountered anyone like him on earth. He talks about the moon, the stars, the children playing, the lady selling cigarettes, the road, people walking, and dolphins. DOLPHINS???, yes dolphins. What about dolphins? Well, he never really elaborated it. Instead, he handed me a set of "dolphin gizmo," and head off. I clutched the gizmo like a treasured possession. Was it magical? Beat's me. Desire of the endless probably sprinkled magic powder on the gizmo for after receiving it I never lost sight on it.
Was it purely accident that I bumped into this man? Or was it only nature throwing her weight around? They said nature picks up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again. So what does it mean? You be the judge. All I know is that I found certainty when I looked closer. The truth was just in me after all.
