i beg your pardon.... i never promised you a rose garden... along with the sunshine... there's gonna be a little rain sometime.
oh well. i had really nice chats today :)
cal jiayou! omg if we both can make it to law :) i must set this down in my blog as a milestone. lolz work towards a common dreammm. gasp damn damn fun if we both go to nus law togetherrrZ! but leave my heart behind :( *wondering...* but carpe diem, i think i'd willingly seize my joy if i can have it. it's my life... it's now or never...i ain't gonna live forever. right?
my bro (who's at a sports pageant now! :) he has hot bodyZ) spoke to me a little abt friends today while we were waiting for the bus. he advised me to let it come, and let it go. friendships come and go. shudn't stick to my own clique and just be contented with what i have, not letting anyone else enter my circle of friends. instead, shudn't be hurt if ppl drift, and shudn't reject getting to know new ppl.
perhaps in the past... i was a bit too secure in my comfort zone. someone once told me, and it left quite a deep impression - that i have an outer circle and an inner circle of friends. for someone from an outer circle to come into the inner circle would be an immensely difficult task. i do admit i consciously choose the people whom i want to let into my inner circle. but it's not a conscious action of barring anyone out, but rather a conscious action of letting someone in. more than most, i think i realize just how sharp a double-edged sword sharing souls can be... both detrimental and beneficial.
but i think it's wrong to be content to let things pass... i don't agree with my brother when he said that when friends drift, we shouldn't be hurt too much and just let it lie. drifting happens... there's no denying it. but once we realize it, don't we have a duty to do smth abt it? there's no doubt that circumstances play a big factor in the building of relationships... but even beyond circumstances, relationships can survive. it just takes two hands to clap. or 28 hands sometimes :) or 5 :) or even 4 :) thx to everyone who has made the effort to keep in touch. it makes so much difference.
i used to think that as friends, no one is committed to the other... everything that a friend does shouldn't be taken for granted. give everything you have, and expect nothing in return. resentment and indignance should be zero factors. as a person on one side of a friendship, perhaps that is the stand to take. but as a neutral party looking down at a group of friends, i simply cannot agree.
so weird that i can have two differing viewpoints just by standing at different positions. i really do believe in both viewpoints. but it's hard to explain, and even harder to empathize i know.
i wonder if i'm meant to sit on the fence forever.
