it's been a really long, but blessed week.
though tired, i think it has been great, especially today.
the most hectic of all days but im really glad i got to catch up and get to know two people even better.
made me reflect on what one can count as a friend.
even though i've always believed that friends should be one that will stand by you loyally no matter what,
today, i've added a new "definition" to the word friends.
perhaps it isn't just about always spending time together, it's definitely also about the quality of conversations.
i can safely say that though we don't meet often, and hardly talk, but when we do during ptm every year, it's always about heartfelt thoughts about the situation in our lives, be it good or bad and the bond we build through one conversation is so much stronger as compared to some others whom i have had over 15 rounds of conversation.
and its just this fundamental difference of willing to speak about your emotions that changes everything.
how do people maintain friendship without ever crossing this line between things at surface value versus emotions.
honestly i do wish to be the type of friend that one would think of first when they have something troubling to share, or if they need someone to confide in.
not that im not interested in being a fun friend but just that to me it means so much more when people are willing to share their feelings with me cos that simply means that they do trust me enough.
lastly, yeah im glad i got to know this person slightly better today.
though it isn't a great step forward, but it still matters cos it is heartening to know that he tries hard enough
that he is passionate enough in what he does
its nice to see a different side to people, out of their daily occupation.
its this side of everyone that makes them ever more humane. its this side of people that makes you want to believe everyone can be good at heart, that everyone faces the same difficulties inspires me to treat everyone better.
Thank You for such a blessed week with the right opportunities, round the clock protection and the little surprises you've arranged along the way. I pray that next week will be even better, and that i will run headfirst into even more amazing things and place me at the right place and the right time (:
it's You who changed me forever and I know You'll impact the world one day.
