Dearest xx,
Though distance may seem insatiable, we all definitely have you in our hearts. And so for me, its another day twice blessed. Its more than a bliss that ure not just another friend. We share a common boundary line, the line called FAMILY. Amid all, this day must bring you happy tears, beyond what years u may recall, please feel the fortune of your years. Rhymes yea? HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
XX is the one in the middle.
The 3 sisters.
xx and boyfriend. ;) She's the one who was with me the day when my maths was known to be an f9 for the olevels. She's the one who acknowledges all our weaknesses and also the one who supported us even when we strayed.. Right till today, she still has my respect. We watched one another grow, we knew about our pasts yet never had the courage to bring it up.. Finally, with no permission from her, i still decided to tell her story. One that we all should at least reflect over and learn from. xx was known to be good for nothing. She skipped school and made everyone look for her.. In her rebellious year, she made only mistakes and there was almost nothing to praise about. She probably hated books and thus ended up in the normal academic stream. Members within ourselves looked down further and see no future. When we were young, our parents would have stopped us from mixing around with a girl like her (not mine though). Every adult within our own loved to do comparison and bad enough, she always get the label of girl-who-skipped-school. Years went by and she finally got enlightened. Not going to waste her youth away, she put in effort in her academic and got herself into a decent course in the polytechnic. She proved herself right. Presently, she is one of the district leader of ssa, and also one of the most capable employee in her department. Being a promising & trusted employee, she is now in Germany for a business trip which is being paid for. ;) 22 years of age but doing so good. This tells us that everyone/ anyone can change for the better. ITE isnt good for nothing too. The world still depend on people from such institutions. An ex-convict should be forgiven. It isnt a matter of time, surroundings or environment. It is a matter of yourself. All individuals experience change at various stages of their lives. Xx changed. Ive crossed the line too.. Things i had to leave, i left behind. An unexamined life is not worth living. Changing for the better begins with thought. Simple right? Start today.
Also, forgive yourself, forgive others.
Its easier knowing who's to blame,
but in the end it is us to be blamed.
