I learn, I think, I create

I learn from great teachers;

I learn from my colleagues;

I learn from people who are better than me;

I learn by reading;

I learn by listening;

I learn by observing life;

I learn by making mistakes.

I think when I'm learning;

I think what I learned;

I think why I need to think;

I think why I need to learn;

I think what I didn't learn;

I think, therefore I am.*

I create what I thought about what I learned;

I create to let myself hear my own voice;

I create for myself;

I create for myself who is attached to many people;

I create for no one;

I create for people who love me;

I create to make people love me;

I create to make me love me.

I create by thinking about love and hate;

I create by thinking about ignorance;

I create by unlearning what I learned;

I create by questioning what I used to persist;

I create to challenge myself.

I was actually writing a short one to post on my sidebar, as a reminder and motivator to myself since I embrace the cycle of learning + thinking + creating so much now. Then the writing went on and on, G-Dragon** was singing his hiphop softly through my speakers, my mind was getting sleepy yet wanted to continue mapping the cycle. I believe what I wrote above might seem lacking tomorrow when I wake up, but if I have the drive to write, why limit myself?

Certain level of self limiting is definitely good for the creating process, but writing is more like a thinking and re-learning process, although all of them actually interweave together into a piece of [un]beautiful cloth. When the mind map is presented through a kind of medium, in this case my blog, it becomes immortal and exists physically in this world. Whoever drops by and sees what I drew...

They might not pay attention at all...

They might pay too much attention thus they hate me...

Or they might fall in love with me.

When I don't expect love and compliments only, I feel more realistic and existed in this world. Utopia can hardly be achieved, that's why beautiful things are beautiful.

*that line is from philosopher Rene Descartes, you should know it. If you didn't, now you know.

**korean hiphop playing softly as background music, I started to feel the merge between my pop and unpop side. What a nice realization.
