and so finally... we don't have recruits anymore. at least none that i have to commit to. lolz my demands for standard were always tempered by the care for them but now that i have no sense of ownership for the next batch coming in, i wonder what they are gonna think of me lolz. but that's not the point.
when we had recruits, there's always a choice between spending time with fellow friends and interacting with recruits. i guess i forwent the former in favor of the latter. saccing the nights out, the talk-cock sessions, the games... it'd hurt sometimes. but then i'll remind myself of my ideals and it'll numb the pain a little. but still... seeing each other everyday, sleeping so near each other and working together so closely hand in hand for so many months are immense foundations for mutual respect, understanding, empathy - in short, great friendships. and while i was out there pursuing my ideals, i was always aware of the things that i were giving up on in choosing duty over relationship. yea there's the advice of relationships being the only things that matter and all yada yada... but what happens when your duty directly involves the lives of others? where then, do your priorities lie?
but that's all over now... we've a few months left to ord and the impt thing is this short period of time left. i can finally devote it to these special grp of ppl. treasure them, appreciate them and end this thing off gracefully. as with all partings, we can only hope that it won't be our last goodbye but the fact of the matter is that things can never be the same. so! carpe diem! live without regrets! yesterday has gone and tomorrow has yet to come but today is a gift; that's why it is called the present!
totally~ spam cliches. forgot wat posef calls it. culturalized? popularized?
