inez, kat, sh, yz
it was madness. we ate at least 10 plates each, as though we have not eaten for the past 10 years. conversations were as frivolous and as bitchy as always. it was as if time stood still as far as our relationships are concerned and we were back in malan road all over again. i've said a million times but being a saint surrounded by all my fellow saints was the best time of my life. the true test of friendship is when there is absolutely one irritating thing you cant stand about that friend but has long accepted that as part of him/her. my beloved girls reminded me of it yesterday. very often, when we try so hard to move on and up in life, we lost focus of that. we did what we do best - nothing. yet it was the most fruitful 5 hours of my entire week.
still chasing, still dreaming
now i recall that it is within my power to wallow in self-pity and lament the things i lack or appreciate the stuff i enjoy and have. as of today, i shall remember to be thankful and not fuss so much over the things i cant get. at the end of the day, life and happiness can be as simple and easily attained as you want them to be. certain experiences will constantly haunt and bombard. but such experiences ought to complement the other aspects of life instead of being the primary focus. so what if i have not found the middle ground between either and or? so what if something gotta give eventually? in life, there is often more than just two choices.
although you girls did nothing out of the ordinary (since our lives are so fraught with craziness in the first place :p), thank you for making me realise and remember.
it's back to being carefree, young, clumsy and mad again!!
