a Journey

Today, I chose to...

Smile. :)

Give hope. I wanted to tell the auntie that although life may be hard, she loved her husband. Just that she didn't realise it. Instead, I said the one truth that has sustained me all this time: "Everything happens for a reason." I patted her hand, and hoped that she could take comfort in my touch, although I was just a stranger.

Believe. I chose to make small talk like I usually do overseas, because, I wanted to give Singaporeans a chance. It stung a little when she asked me if I was local. I smiled and assured her, that I was. That we can be warm as a people too.

Comfort. We're both in the same boat. *hugs* It hurts, and we fall. I've fallen so many times, but gurl, it gets easier to pick yourself up after awhile. No one said doing what is right would be easy. I can only think of the phrase in Mandarin "pin ming". But I want us to look back and be proud of ourselves. Faith is all about fighting on no matter how many times we fall. *hugs*

Leave an imprint in someone else's life. I really appreciate the new friendships that have come my way. And I shall not hold back, even though the wounds of betrayal are still fresh. I am hopeful, even though I should be cynical.

Pray. Thank YOU, for giving me what I know I don't deserve. 3 pages for a 100 marks paper. Thank YOU, for the A-. Above all, thank YOU, for everything.
