Contradictions

The world is full of contradictions.

I never fully noticed that until I started taking Literature and Media, especially this year. Previously, every time I wrote an argumentative essay back home at school, it was basically forbidden to have contradictions in your essay. We wrote one-sided arguments, maybe included a counter argument but would always respond with a rebuttal to make it persuasive. That was the only type of essay I had written up till September last year.

The world of contradictions is a wonderful world. Discovering them and including them in my essays were one of the best things that has happened. This might sound confusing but: a world full of contradictions makes so much more sense than a world without. Everything falls into place. Everything impacts one another and you don't have to explain them. I don't have to avoid points that don't match with my argument now. Contradictions aren't a problem. Contradictions are a solution.

I also just miss contemplating in general. Now that I'm in uni and have work and a busier social life than secondary school, I have less and less time to pause and just - think. I hope I can start practising thinking soon. :) Anyway, there is actually something that's been on my mind a lot recently, and is becoming more apparent during this transition into an adult. I've always been one of those kids who need their parents' permission for everything. Everything. And I know, it's a stage where everyone has gone through, but a stage where most uni students have gone out of already. Here are a few possible r...
