Love strikes when least expected.
Love befalls my best friend.
Love shaped her happiness.
Love signals maturity.
Photo by photo,
i visualise her happiness.
Matured as she is,
inferior i felt.
A widening gap persists,
dragging us far apart.
What if you get married?
Will our friendship last?
What if-s fill my mind,
will i end up alone?
Marriage leave me pondering,
if it is right for me at all.
Relationships are a chore,
parents prevail in importance.
I was everything,
i want them to be everything.
Should I pursue my significant half?
Or remain their everything?

What hurts the most.
Resilient i stood,
pursuit did not fade.
Staring at what were sent,
i figured i was afraid.
I emo-ed.
In tranquility i thought,
what adversity had in stall.
I made the flow halt,
as i struggled to keep in sight.
I emo-ed.
Everything blurred in vision.
I refused submission.
Stubbornly holding on,
like a helpless peon.
I emo-ed.
Isolation was at hand,
the feeling so uncomprehend.
Battling against emotions,
never were there cautions.
I emo-ed.
Choosing to remain so undeterred,
never felt so devastating.
Like glass and mirrors shattering,
Piecing them back is all i vied for.
All.
Again,
I emo-ed.

The mundane atmosphere erupted,
engulfing me in utter exhaustion.
All zest for learning extinguish,
all that remains is a little simple plan.
My eyes swept through the lecture hall,
pondering whether i really belong here.
Am i fit to sit here amongst this crowd,
where studious and conscientious people prevailed.
I stared blankly into space,
the hoarse voice no longer reverberate in my ears.
My eyelids just kept getting heavier,
striving to form an arc around my eyes.
I slumped back into my seat,
indulging in my fantasy world.
A sense of ecstasy overwhelmed me,
as i fulfilled my simple little plan.

GeoEngineering
Geoengineering is the compensation for an intensified greenhouse effect by reducing amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth. It acts as another alternative to combat global warming by releasing vast amounts of sulfurous debris into the atmosphere to create a haze that would keep the planet cool.
After reading the article, i disagreed with the author views. It does not tackle the root cause of global warming and that is the excessive emission of carbon dioxide. What Geoengineering offer is a one time solution and not a full-stop to it. Plus, it does not offer feasibility and stability. In the short run, it may decrease the repercussions caused by global warming. Yet, in the long run, it may wreck more havoc to the almost irreparable atmosphere.
Taking a side step to look into the consequences of releasing vast amounts of sulfurous debris. Would it have any harmful effects especially on those that have respiratory problems? How about those that are healthy, will their respiratory systems deteriorate? And what are the varying consequences it would cause to the elderly and the young? All these problems have to be addressed first and assured, before any government should go ahead with this plan if they ever wants to.
Also, the release of sulfurous debris would have to be carried out indefinitely, would it not be an additional burden on everyone as I am sure the cost would be passed on to the civilians. The cost tag can range from anything between a few hundred million dollars and a couple of billion dollars a year, this is no small sum especially for smaller countries or those that have no natural resources.
Thus, would it not be more rational for the government to invest these large sum of money into the R&D sector, whereby research can be carried out to develop more energy-efficient machines or an alternative for fuel can be developed. How about an air purifier that can remove emissions of carbon dioxide? As rational beings, we should look at the root cause and tackle it straight there. No miracles would be able to save us if carbon emissions reach new high with each consecutive year. Hence the need and urgency required to tackle global warming and stop beating about the bush by coming up with alternative solutions that promise little results.
