maybe afterall, frens and love, the former is what i really depended on most. unknowingly.

or maybe, i've placed too much expectation on the latter. being exposed to too much sweet endings in dramas and the like. when it comes to reality, it's alot more to compromise, learn and to live with.

frens, albeit they come and go, enter and leave, or reappear again after some time.. what matters most is.. they leave footprints in the heart.

i need to learn to be independent still. on my two own feet. i didnt even know my hand was holding onto sometin until i realise i'll soon lose hold of it. but that is, i guess, just what life is meant to be.
Comes The Dawn
By Veronica A. Shoffstall

After a while you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t always mean security.

And you begin to learn
That kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes ahead
With the grace of a woman
Not the grief of a child

And you learn
To build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is
Too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way
Of falling down in mid flight

After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers

And you learn
That you really can endure
That you are really strong
And you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn
With every goodbye you learn.

if u cant understand, then shut up

一隻小豬、一隻綿羊和一頭乳牛,被關在同一個畜欄裡。
有一次,牧人捉住小豬,牠大聲號叫,猛烈地抗拒。
綿羊和乳牛討厭牠的號叫,便說:「他常常捉我們,我們並不大呼小叫。」
小豬聽了回答道:「捉你們和捉我完全是兩回事,他捉你們,只是要你們的毛和乳
汁, 但是捉住我,卻是要我的命呢!」

立場不同、所處環境不同的人,很難了解對方的感受;
因此對別人的失意、挫折、傷痛,不宜幸災樂禍,
而應要有關懷、了解的心情。
