Another milestone crossed in my life. Albeit I think it’s quite unnecessary. In the time span it takes for me to submit my resignation and work through my notice period, I can actually gain and lose a relationship. Doesn’t say much about my social management skills. It’s almost like taking home a stray and a month later she bites your hand off. But such is life and there’s no replacement for real hard lessons. You hear stories about other people you just never think it could happen to you. I think that’s one of the secrets to surviving. Expect the unexpected, don’t unassumingly drive into a brick wall. Similarly, don’t exclude the fact that the wall could never fall on you.
I guess this is one chapter that will never be closed any time soon. It’s an evolving story and it’ll continue on til the day I die. I think I got off easy, depression didn’t take long to subside and I still manage to function normally. Uh-oh, is this the by-product of ‘experience’? Then it’s a shame, I don’t want to be the most experienced, kinda defeats the purpose ain’t it.
I wonder if it was that hard to believe that you could learn to love someone in 2 weeks? Well, not the kind that’ll have me taking your place at a state hanging, but the kind that would have me go out of my way to help. I’m sure if 2 weeks became 2 months, I’d sacrifice more. 2 years? Who knows? Kidneys and a lung? 20 years? Everything?
So I think I’d end with one word of advice to my non-existent readers; We are all alone here. You make decisions for yourself and never for others. You can only hope your decisions would influence others in a relatively positive manner. Never expect anyone to return a favour.
I’m kidding.
I’d at least dare say, it was a real sweet glimpse or a reminder that when it works, life is beautiful. I guess I’d do it again.
