This Thing Called Life Has Sidequests

I talked to leftover mashed potatoes yesterday and well, I laughed a bit and cried a bit with what they had to say. I was classmates with these potatoes, I myself being a potato head, and we shared a lot with each other during elementary. In fact, one of those potatoes was my neighbor. We talked about everything in the past, and the stuff that happened to us while we were gone. After our elementary graduation it seems that both of them walked a bit farther than I have, or maybe just in a different path, it doesn't really matter. What I mean is well, haha, they've had a few ups and down getting into different relationships. Some good stuff of course but its just regret that's left now. I also got into a relationship myself, 2 in fact. It's been three years since then but still, there's always that small feeling of regret and guilt. 1 of those relationships was with one of my best friends. I guess we just kinda went along with puberty. Now that I look at it, all it did was destroy a friendship. The post-breakup was pretty painful too. We're friends now but still, there's always that awkwardness and stuff. It sucks. The really funny thing is, one of the potato heads I talked to went official with that same girl. Now they've broken up and he's going through the same thing I went through with her. Also, him, that girl and me were in the same barkada in gradeschool. Ouch. Ah well, at least we kept in touch with each other after gradeschool.

Now to today. It was okay, we had it easy since everyone just got out of the week-where-nothing-happens week. AKA Humanities week, affectionately known among its celebrants as inhumanities week. haha. Now we had P.E. today and My good vegetable friend King was kind enough to lend me his uniform since I left mine at home. After PE I go to the front lobby to enjoy the 50 min break before Chemistry. Here I talk to another vegetable, the easily excitable and very cheery Lima Bean. We talk then she tells me about how she's having problems with another Lima bean. It's a bit complicated so I won't go into this. Anyway, after thinking about all this I finally ask myself: Why do we try to get these things? I mean, don't we just have to to live? Why the heck to we complicate things when its so simple to just live. See, that's the thing, we can't just live. I guess its not really important to have all this. After all, they're just sidequests. We don't need to complete them to get to the last boss and beat him. This may be true, but it's in these little sidequests where you get the little spice of life. In every sidequest you get a new power, and in every sidestory you get to learn a bit more. It'd be really boring if we just leveled up all the time then defeated the boss. We people just really want something more than just living life. I guess I kinda want a side quest too. I'll just have to finish school first, haha. Message to other sidequesters out there: Well, get a good relationship with God first. Only he can make you feel truly complete and secure. Also, try to finish your studies first. Haha. But no, seriously.
