refresher

After giving it some thought and a careful assessment of what has happened throughout my life, I've decided that what my old pal said is true. Sometimes the buns get burnt in the oven cos you leave them in there for too long, and there's nothing much you can do about them, other than baking a new one. I've been holding back on others all because I somehow always felt this little glimmer of hope in salvaging that burnt one, but I think I see the light now. It's there at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is oh, so damned bloody long. I only hope that it doesn't get shut out before I reach it.

On other notes, I was out with a friend some days ago, and had my eyes opened to a whole new perspective. All this while I had been leading the simplest of lives, taking each day as it comes, not caring about what the next one brings, not bothering about the more important details in life. The lives of others breezed past me everyday, I couldn't care less about how all these people around me affected my own life. This friend, however, showed me something entirely new that kind of struck a note in me. Throughout the day, I learnt more and more about how family plays such a big part in this friend's life, and how little gestures can mean so much. I was also exposed to the goodness and generosity in this friend, and I constantly thought to myself, "what have i been doing all this while in my own stuck up little world?" I used to think that I was doing enough, but this day I realised I've been going down an entirely different path with a false sense of achievement.

Thank you for showing me the way, you are truly a godsend.
