Sweet Moments

I am thankful for each and every friend that makes the effort to care and show their concern for me. These two weeks has been a really good time for me to catch up with friends and happenings in their lives since I've learnt that I would be starting work really soon. As time goes by and everyone moves on to different paths in life, it really takes the extra effort for people to maintain relationships.

Often, time passes by and things or people change. Sometimes you look back at some memory and reminisce the good times once shared. Sometimes, you smile, sometimes you feel sorry for the way things turned out. I don't quite know how to deal with this because it pains me when a relationship goes wrong but maybe, just maybe, it might be better to drop it and leave it the way it is. Afterall, the damage's done. How much are we willing to retract and face the broken pieces? Much less pick them up?

I am. I really am. But I can't do this by myself.

I don't know if it's a weakness or a strength, that I am so attached to relationships and emotions. It is hard for me to practise PR when it's only human to judge and value things and people differently. I wonder at people who have such great PR skills that everything and everyone seems to be of equal importance to them. It is an amazing ability and I do envy them for that. But sometimes I can't help but wonder if they really are sincere. But then again, I guess sincerity can't be faked and is most definitely easily felt.

These days, I try to be thankful for what I have and try to view things in my life as blessings. As the saying goes, Is your cup half full or half empty?, I try to take on a positive mindset with each brand new day. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself, but you could make it even easier by not doing so.

I'm thankful for a great deal of things in my life right now. :)
