I pray to the Patron Saint of Apathy

Now that I think of how young I was when I lost my innocence, I realize my hypocrisy in telling my sisters not to grow up so fast.

I’m such a bad guy;

I keep promising to update this thing but I never follow through. A lot has happened in my life since I created this blog about a year and a half ago. Some of those were good things, many were bad things, but it made me into who I am today and I’d like to think that the current version of Rusiru is the best one yet.

A little over a year ago, I went through without a doubt the most difficult time in my life, so far. Long story short, I went through a really messy breakup. Like, really messy. Those dreadful feelings were so unbeknownst to me and I was lost. I was lost at 15 years old and quite frankly, it was pitiful. I was in a terrible state and I didn’t know what to do with myself. That time was a catalyst for the clinical depression I was thrust into that still lingers today.

My immigrant parents were unequipped to combat this problem that was oh so American (not breakups- I’m sure those transcend cultural lines- but the nature of this breakup combined with the idea of feeling love at such a young age when they themselves had never felt it in their many years). My friends were torn between belligerent sides and didn’t want to have their loyalty come into question. I had no one to help me. Until my wonderful followers on tumblr noticed my subliminal (and not so subliminal) posts that reflected my feelings and rushed to my aid. I don’t know who all of them were, or if they even follow me today, but I am forever in debt to the group of strangers-turned-friends who gave me advice and moral support during a time in my life where I didn’t think anything would ever get better. I appreciate their assistance even more today now that I’m 100% over what happened and I see that their advice really was true.

I’m a different guy today than I was a year ago. Heck, I’m a different guy today than I was yesterday, but I like to think that every day I’m a better version of myself than I was the previous one. If you were one of the people who helped me out way back when, I’d like to sincerely thank you for all that you did for me just by being there. The impact your support had on me goes beyond words and is simply immeasurable. Thank you. You made me realize how wonderful a site like tumblr really is. Every child, or rather, every person deserves to have such a supportive and loving group of individuals to be there for them when they need it most.

I promise I’ll give you guys an update real soon, but here’s a picture for now.

1st album I legally bought in over 10 years.
The 20/20 Experience by Justin Timberlake is amazing.
5 Stars.
Can’t wait till Part 2 comes out in the Fall.

If you agree, feel free to join me in my Spaceship Coupe for some tea and activities.

I volunteered at a local Outreach yesterday, and I know, I know, I’m an atheist but, at that moment, in that small microcosm called Dutchess Outreach, religion was doing more good than harm. So I loaded trucks, washed dishes, and served food and it was one of the highlights of my entire year. It was a great experience and it reminded me why I love this season so much.

It seems peoples’ hearts are warmest during the coldest months. Maybe it’s because it’s when people physically need the most help during the frigid winter months. Maybe it’s because of that traditional “Season of Giving” mindset that’s been ingrained in the people. Who knows? All I know is that a little more selflessness in this world certainly can’t be a bad thing.

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving :)

Frank Ocean - Pyramids

AP English has given me such a newfound level appreciation and love for this song. What an incredible use of metaphor and allegory. I had already thought this was the best song off of this amazing album, but now I’m sure it’s one of my favorite songs of all time.

My Fantasy Basketball team. The Big Deng Theory.

I was involved in a trade in which I was able to trade Lebron James away for Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. Just give me GM of the Year already (It’s a h2h league). I’m officially the team to beat in the South Asia conference. Hell yea.

Anonymous asked: Ew but Cole was all like 'Imma eat this duck fetus cuz Im cultured and exotic and Imma mistake China for the Philippines even tho Im studying sociology'

Homie, tbh, I don’t really care too much when it comes to the whole “white privilege” thing. Unless something is blatantly meant to be offensive or someone’s rights are being infringed upon, I couldn’t care less if a white person talks about “culture or exotic” like that. In defense of white people, their culture is pretty freakin bland and boring. If they wanna eat curry and ride an elephant and dress in a sarong, I couldn’t care less (so long as they aren’t racist/infringe someone’s rights) :P
