Cabinet. Wardrobe. Cabinet. Wardrobe. What's the difference? Better check the dictionary.
I want a cabinet filled with the most glorious clothes, the finest jewelry, the best fantastic accessories, and the most coveted shoes. I wanted those. Ever since I was a little girl, they're what I have always wanted.
But I am a poor girl, with poor resources.
I am on a quest to find myself, said she.
Yet he scoffed at it, thinking it was merely one of the many superficial and pretentious thoughts of the pseudo-philosophical of today's generations.
But he was wrong. Because while he wasted his time trying to laugh at her adventures, she still had her adventures, while he had none.
I don't know. I never had an epiphany. Is this what it feels like? Pieces fitting together. Like a big puzzle is being solved. Like I am the puzzle and I am being solved. Is that it? I guess.

There is an avenue he passes by on the way home. In the early morning the avenue is busy, as cars pass by, their passengers rushing to work or school.

"I need only one chance. At life. At everything. Would I do it all again? No. Not everything. But most of the things. If I think of all the things I would be sacrificing, would I risk them all? Would I? I think I know myself too well to understand that, yes, there is a part of me -- a rather stupid and selfish one -- who would dare give up what I have now just so I could go back and change things had there been a chance to do it."
I wonder what tomorrow would be. I wonder. I always wonder. At least curiosity is something to value in a person -- a restlessness, a desire to know. Not being content with what is, and always searching for more.
