Living in Thailand - 2.0

Years after my first ever blog post, I'm back again...
I'm approaching my 5 month anniversary in Thailand, the second time living in Thailand.

Here I have a simple daily routine, I wake up around 10 or earlier, then I take my bicycle down to my favorite fruit lady, at least that's what I call her in my head.  There are many street vendors near Chiang Mai University, and this lady is really good to me, she always smiles and gives me some extra fruit.
Then, on my way to Maya shopping mall, where I practice Muay Thai 6 days a week, followed by drinking a bottle of coconut water after every practice (essential).

I teach ESL online every night of the week except Saturday, and I study Thai at night every Tuesday and Thursday.  That's my life.  Sometimes I have friends who invite me to do things, so then I do things, and I take pictures, and here are some of the pictures.  The best pictures will be on my Instagram first;

Introductions, Prefaces, Foreshadows

Hello world,

My name is Alex.  I am 25 years old.
I have decided to start this blog mostly for my own personal therapy and desire to express myself.  Day by day I feel myself getting more and more connected from all those around me, and ironically I have more problems now than ever before.

If there is one thing I have learned in 25 years it is that life is really easy.  Seriously, we all have heartbreaks and setbacks and what not, but in the end it's all gravy.  I refuse to believe that I simply have "better coping methods" than other people.  When something bad happens to me, I find the good in it, I find the beauty in it, I learn from what it what I need to, then move on.  I find the good in all things simply because I DESIRE to.  Do you know the difference between a bad thing and a good thing?  Taste.

Every problem in human history/human behavior boils down to some form of ignorance.  The point of reducing/eliminating ignorance is not to uncover the truth.  I have spent most of my life searching for truth and let me tell you after finding the Absolute Truth it's not that big of a deal.  A wise man once said, "The important thing is what to do with the time that is given to you."

My promise is to provide a personal approach to the noble quest of self growth and self awareness for everyone, not because I have some genuine desire to help people or anything silly like that, I am just as selfish and kind as every other human being.  I revel in this belief, in some weird way realizing that we are all the same, one consciousness, this belief is truly empowering while at first it brings feelings of loneliness, resentment and grief.

I am here now because I like human contact.  I want to eat lunch with people who are passionate and know what they are talking about.  I am tired of waiting for you.  Do only what you want, do it like you mean it, and hopefully we'll find each other some day in the real world.
